Skill 7: Gunakan kata penghubung keterangan waktu (Adverb Time Connector) dan kata penghubung Penyebab (Cause Connector) dengan betul
Kalimat yang memakai klausa dari klausa keterangan waktu memiliki 2 pola dasar:- I will sign the check before you live.
- Before you live, I will sign the check.
Tiap pola di atas, terdapat 2 klausa: you live dan I will sign the check. Dari ke dua klausa tersebut klausa keterangan waktu (adverb time clause) nya yaitu you live karena dilampaui oleh kata penghubung keterangan waktu (adverb time connector) before. Perhatikan penerapan komanya ketika adverb time connector berada di depan kalimat.
misal di bawah ini menggambarkan bagaimana pola kalimat ini dijadikan sebagai soal dalam test Structure TOEFL.
misal
_____ was late, I missed the appointment.
a) I
b) Because
c) The train
d) Since he
Dari kalimat di atas sanggup kita ketahui bahwa kalimat tersebut memiliki kata kerja was yang membutuhkan subjek. Juga terdapat klausa yang lain I missed the appointment. Jika menentukan jawabanan a) I atau c) The train maka jawabanan Anda tidak sempurna alasannya yakni spesialuntuk menyediakan subjek untuk kata kerja was sementara connector untuk ke dua klausa tersebut Anda abaikan. Untuk jawabanan b) because spesialuntuk menyediakan connector jadi juga jawabanan yang tidak tepat. Jawaban paling memungkinkan yaitu d) Since he (karena dia). He sebagai subjek dari verb was: he was late dan since sebagai connector menghubungkan dua klausa he was late dan I miss the appointment.
