Subordinating Conjunctions
Kata Hubung Pembuat Anak Kalimat
Berbeda dengan FANBOYS yang menghubungkan kalimat setara, Subordinating Conjunctions digunakan untuk menghubungkan Induk Kalimat (Main Clause) dengan Anak Kalimat (Dependent Clause).
"Anak kalimat TIDAK BISA berdiri sendiri jika dipisah dari induknya!"
🚂 The Engine & Carriage Logic
Bayangkan Induk Kalimat sebagai "Mesin" yang bisa berjalan sendiri, dan Anak Kalimat sebagai "Gerbong" yang harus ditarik.
[INDUK KALIMAT]
+ CONJ +
[ANAK KALIMAT]
E.g. I stayed at home because it was raining.
("Because it was raining" tidak masuk akal jika dibaca sendirian tanpa induk kalimat).
🔘 Time (Waktu)
Menjelaskan kapan sesuatu terjadi.
Words: When, While, Before, After, Until, Since.
E.g. Call me when you arrive.
Words: When, While, Before, After, Until, Since.
E.g. Call me when you arrive.
🔘 Reason (Alasan)
Menjelaskan mengapa sesuatu terjadi.
Words: Because, Since, As.
E.g. We left early because we were tired.
Words: Because, Since, As.
E.g. We left early because we were tired.
🔘 Condition (Syarat)
Menjelaskan syarat terjadinya sesuatu.
Words: If, Unless (Kecuali jika), Provided that.
E.g. I will go if you go.
Words: If, Unless (Kecuali jika), Provided that.
E.g. I will go if you go.
⚠️ The Flip-Flop Comma Trap
Posisi kata hubung ini bisa dibolak-balik (di tengah atau di depan). Perhatikan aturan KOMA-nya:
✅ Jika di TENGAH = TANPA KOMA
I will buy a car if I have money.
✅ Jika di DEPAN = WAJIB KOMA (di akhir anak kalimat)
If I have money, I will buy a car.
✅ Jika di TENGAH = TANPA KOMA
I will buy a car if I have money.
✅ Jika di DEPAN = WAJIB KOMA (di akhir anak kalimat)
If I have money, I will buy a car.
