THE RELATIVE PRONOUN
Example : - I
thanked my mother.
-
She helped me.
(a)
I thanked my mother who
helped me.
(b)
I thanked my mother that
helped me.
Example : -
The book is your.
-
It is on the
table.
(c)
The book which is on the table
is your.
(d)
The book that is on the table is
your.
|
In (a) : I thanked my mother= an independent clause.
who helped me = an adjective clause.
The adjective clause modifies the noun woman.
In
(a) : who is the subject of the adjective clause.
In
(b) : that is the subject of the
adjective clause.
Note
: (a) and (b) have the same meaning.
Who =
used for people.
Which =
used for things.
That =
used for both people and things.
|
Example : -
The man was Mr.fahri.
-
I saw him.
(e)
The man who(m) I saw was Mr.farhi.
(f)
The man that I saw was Mr.fahri.
(g)

was Mr.fahri.
Example : - The show was bored.

(h)
The show which we saw last night
was bored.
(i)

was bored.
(j)

night was bored.
|
Notice in the examples : the
adjective clause pronouns are placed at the beginning of the clause.
In (e) : who is usually used instead of whom,
especially in speaking. Whom is generally used only in very formal English.
In
(g) and (j) : an object pronoun is often omitted from an adjective clause. (
a subject pronoun, however, may not be omitted).
Who(m)
= used for people.
Which
= used for things.
That
= used for both people and things.
|
Example : - I
know joko.
-
His bicycle was
stolen.
(k)
I know joko whose bicycle was
stolen.
Example : - The student writes well.
-
I read their novel.
(l)
The student whose their novel I
read writes well.
|
Whose is used
to show possession. It carries the same meaning as other possessive pronouns
used as adjectives : his, her, its and their. Like his, her, its and their,
whose is connected to a noun.
his bicycle à whose
bicycle.
her
composition à whose
composition.
Both whose and
the noun it is connected to are placed at the beginning of the adjective
clause. Whose cannot be omitted.
|
Mr. Catt has a
painting. Its value is inestimable.
(m)
Mr. Catt a painting whose
value is inestimable.
|
Whose usually
modifies “people” but it may also be used to modify “things” as in (m).

Causative Verbs (Page 135)
Causative verb
Have merupakan causative verb yang umum. Ketimbang melakukan sesuatu dengan diri kita sendiri, kita “menyuruh” orang yang lain untuk melakukannya. Bentuknya sebagai berikut:
Kata kerja “to have” + objek + past participle (verb 3). Contoh:
- I had my jacket cleaned yesterday.
- Did you have your computer fixed?
Terkadang kita menggunakan have sebagai causative verb ketika kita ingin melakukan tindakan oleh diri kita sendiri. Contoh:
- When will the report be ready? I’ll do it by tomorrow morning. >>
- When will the report be ready? I’ll have it done by tomorrow morning.
Dengan menggunakan causative, kalimat ke-dua diatas mengalihkan perhatian dari pelaku tindakan, dan lebih memberikan perhatian kepada tindakan yang sedang dilakukan. Ini kedengaran sopan dan profesional.
Get sering digunakan ketimbang have. Contoh:
I got my computer fixed - I had my computer fixed. Kedua kalimat ini maknanya sama.
I got my jacket cleaned. - I had my jacket cleaned. Kedua kalimat ini maknanya sama.
Causative verbs sering digunakan bersama dengan pengalaman-pengalaman negatif. Pada situasi-situasi ini lebih umum menggunakan have. Contoh:
I had my wallet stolen. (Saya sebenarnya tidak menyebabkan dompet saya dicuri - seseorang mencuri dompet saya dariku)
She had her window smashed.
Let digunakan untuk membolehkan seseorang melakukan sesuatu. Bentuknya adalah let + orang + verb. Contoh:
John let me drive his new car.
Will your parents let you go to the party?
I don’t know if my boss will let me take the day off.
Make
Make digunakan untuk memaksa seseorang melakukan sesuatu. Bentuknya adalah make + orang + verb. Contoh:
My teacher made me apologize for what I had said.
Did somebody make you wear that ugly hat?
She made her children do their homework.
