pengertian Restrictive and Non-restrictive Appositives

Restrictive and Non-restrictive Appositives The examples above contain both appositives set off by commas from the rest of the sentence and appositives without commas. In order to decide whether an appositive requires commas, you should first decide whether it is information necessary to understanding the meaning of the sentence or whether it is merely useful information. If it is necessary information, the appositive requires no commas. If it is useful, but not necessary, set it off with commas. Consider the following sentences: 1. Her son, James, is bald. (non-restrictive) 2. Her son James is bald. (restrictive) 3. John the blacksmith chews gum. (restrictive) 4. John, the blacksmith, chews gum. (non-restrictive)

pengertian dan contoh passive voice

Kalimat pasif (passive voice) adalah kalimat dimana subject-nya dikenai pekerjaan oleh object kalimat. Active voice lebih sering digunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dibandingkan dengan passive voice. Namun demikian, sering kita temukan passive voice di surat-surat kabar, artikel-artikel di majalah-majalah dan tulisan-tulisan ilmiah. Passive voice digunakan karena object dari active voice merupakan informasi yang lebih penting dibandingkan dengan subject-nya. Contoh : * Active : We fertilize the soil every 6 months * Passive: The soil is fertilized by us every 6 months Berdasarkan keenam poin di atas maka passive voice mengikuti pola sebagai berikut: Subject + be + Verb3 + by + Object + modifier Pola active dan passive voice pada tiap tensis a. Jika active voice dalam simple present tense, maka ‘be’ passive voice-nya adalah is, am atau are. Contoh: * Active : He meets them everyday. * Passive : They are met by him everyday. * Active : She waters this plant every two days. * Passive : This plant is watered by her every two days. b. Jika active voice dalam simple past tense, maka ‘be’ passive voice-nya adalah was atau were Contoh: * Active : He met them yesterday * Passive : They were met by him yesterday * Active : She watered this plant this morning * Passive : This plant was watered by her this morning c. Jika active voice dalam present perfect tense, maka ‘be’ passive voice-nya adalah been yang diletakkan setelah auxiliary has atau have, sehingga menjadi ‘has been’ atau ‘have been’ Contoh: * Active : He has met them * Passive : They have been met by him * Active : She has watered this plant for 5 minutes. * Passive : This plant has been watered by her for 5 minutes.
