Contoh Kalimat Adjective Clause beserta Penjelasannya

Contoh kalimat adjective clause - Adjective clause memang terkadang membuat sebagian siswa kebingungan memahaminya. Namun sebenarnya adjective clause itu sangatlah sederhana. Seperti fungsi adjective pada umumnya yaitu untuk menjelaskan kata benda (noun), begitu juga adjective clause pun menjelaskan kata benda (noun) hanya saja berbentuk klausa. Dalam bahasa Indonesia, adjective clause sering diartikan dengan kata 'yang'. Perhatikan contoh kalimat adjective clause bahasa Indonesia berikut ini. 

Wanita yang selalu menangis di tengah malam itu adalah tetanggaku.

Pada dasarnya kalimat tersebut terdiri dari dua klausa, yaitu:

Wanita muda itu adalah tetanggaku. (Main clause / induk kalimat)

Dia selalu menangis pada tengah malam. (Sub clause / anak kalimat)

Kalimat yang saya tulis miring dan garisbawahi adalah adjective clause. Untuk menggabungkan kedua klausa tersebut, kita membutuhkan relative pronoun. Berikut ini adalah contoh relative pronoun nya: who, whom, whose, which, where, when, dan that. Setiap relative pronoun mempunyai fungsi masing-masing yang akan dijelaskan nanti beserta contoh adjective clause untuk mempermudah memahaminya. Jadi apabila contoh kalimat adjective clause di atas kita artikan ke dalam bahasa Inggris akan menjadi, The woman who always cries in the midnight is my neighbor (wanita yang selalu menangis di tengah malam itu adalah tetanggaku).
