Noun Clause

Hello guys, in this moment I would like to explain you about Noun Clause. As usual, I do this task to complete my weekly journal in English Studio. Let's read it!!

Noun Clause adalah dependent clause yang berfungsi sebagai noun. Karena berfungsi sebagai kata benda, noun clause dapat berfungsi sebagai komponen kalimat seperti subject, object of verb, object of preposition dan subject complement. Noun clause dibagi menjadi 4 tipe:

1. Question (Pertanyaan)

Noun clause dari question ada 2:

a. Yes/No Question

Conjuction: Whether dan If yang berarti apakah.

Contoh:
- Can she drive the car?

Whether she can drive the car doesn’t concern me. (NC)

 - Is Zul has married?

 No one knew if the rumor is true.

📌Sebagai subject 

Wheather or not he will come tomorrow is still uncertain.

📌 Sebagai object of verb

Contoh: Rahmat said wheather his friend was bringing the book.

📌 Sebagai object of preposition 

Contoh: There is a question wheather we should sign the form.

b. WH-question (Informative question)

📌 As pronoun .

Conjuction: Who(ever) yang berarti siapa yang (sebagai subjek), Whom(ever) berarti siapa yang (sebagai objek), What(ever) berarti apa yang (sebagai subjek), Which berarti apa yang (sebagai objek).

Contoh : 

- Whom you asked is my friend (As subject)

- We are shocked at what has happened. (As object)

📌 As modifier / adjective 

Conjunction: Whose berarti yang (kepunyaan siapa), Which yang (kepunyaan benda).

What yang berarti apa yang.

Contoh : 

- I do not know whose book john is reading.

- We have visited Japan, China, Thailand and Malaysia. And we do not know what countries we like very much.

📌 As Adverb 

Conjunction : Where (ver) berarti dimanapun, When(ever) berarti ketika atau saat, Why berarti yang (kenapa), How(ever) berarti yang (mana), How many berarti sebanyak (yang bisa dihitung), How much berarti sebanyak (yang tidak bisa dihitung).

Contoh: 

- I remember when she was was appointed as a teacher.

- How many student did a scientific research was still uncertain.

2. Statement (Pernyataan)

Conjuction : That berarti bahwa, The fact that berarti faktanya.

Contoh: 

- That coffee grows in Indonesia is very well-known.

- He was irritated by the fact that his wife spent so much money on clothes.

a. As subject difungsikan sebagai subject jika main verb nya berupa certain verb 

berikut: 

📌 Linking Verb : dari beberapa linking verb yang paling sering digunakan adalah ‘be’.

Contoh: That everyone got back safely was a great relief.

📌 Causative verb : make, have, dan get. 

Contoh: That John came late made me surprised.

📌 Expressing emotion : 

Contoh: That he was not consulted in the matter angered him.

📌 Verbs : Mean, matter, make a difference 

Contoh: That they are very rich means nothing to me. 

b. As Object : That clause yang berfungsi sebagai object umunya terletak setelah 

certain verb of ‘indirect speech’ dan certain verb yang menunjukan mental activity.

📌 Certain verbs of indirect speech (quoted speech)

Contoh: She taught me that I must be honest and fair with everyone.

📌 Certain verbs of mental activity and others

Contoh:

- We regret we can’t accept your invitation.

- I think he is a fool.

c. As complement : That clause Terletak setelah verb ‘be’.

Contoh: The idea that we take it in turn.

📌 As appositive 

Contoh: It was bad luck that he broke his leg.

3. Exclamation (Seruan)

Conjunction : What dan How yang berarti alangkah atau betapa. Conjunction what diikuti oleh noun/noun phrase, sedangkan conjunction how diikuti oleh adjective/adverb.

Contoh: 

- He realized what a hard problem his friend has.

Perbedaan how dalam exclamation dengan how dalam WH Question adalah:

Pola how dalam Exclamation:

How + Adj + S

How + Adv. of Manner + S + V1 + O

Contoh:

- I am amazed at how beautifully she dresses.

- I was surprised at how fast he runs.

Sementara how dalam WH Question

Ciri-ciri: conjunction-nya biasanya dimaknai dengan 'bagaimana'. Pola how dalam WH Question 

How + S + V1 + O

Contoh: 

- The question is how we can operate the machine.

- My question is how she runs.

4. Request (Nasihat, Keinginan atau Urgensi)

Conjunction : That yang berarti bahwa.

That clause harus terletak setelah kata kata tertentu (Certain verb, adjective, or noun) 

dengan pola: 

That + Subject + Verb (bare infinitive)

Contoh:

- We urge that he should leave now.

- He was very anxious for us to meet.

- My advice is that you see a doctor.

Jadi begitulah sedikit penjelasan mengenai Noun Clause. Inspirasi menulis materi ini didapat sewaktu penulis mendapat tugas untuk presentasi bersama Rahmat dan Nelman di Kelas General English di English Studio dengan tutornya Ms. Sari. Thanks :))

Semoga bermanfaat! ^^
