Adjective Clause


An adjective clause—also called an adjectival or relative clause—will meet three requirements:
  • First, it will contain a subject and verb.
  • Next, it will begin with a relative pronoun [whowhomwhosethat, or which] or a relative adverb [whenwhere, or why].
  • Finally, it will function as an adjective, answering the questions What kind? How many? orWhich one?

Pronouns

Pronouns are small words that take the place of a noun. We can use a pronoun instead of a noun. Pronouns are words like: he, you, ours, themselves, some, each... If we didn't have pronouns, we would have to repeat a lot of nouns. We would have to say things like:

  • Do you like the president? I don't like the president. The president is too pompous.

Dibuat di Indonesia, Tapi Made in Malaysia

Warga di Dusun Pareh, Desa Semunying Jaya, Kecamatan Jagoi Babang, Kabupaten Bengkayang, Kalimantan Barat, melestarikan budaya kearifan lokal berupa anyaman tikar berbahan pelepah bemban atau semacam daun pandan. Hasil anyaman itu dijual ke Pasar Biawak, Malaysia. Warga Pareh memilih menjual ke Malaysia karena hanya berjarak 15 kilometer dari kampung mereka. Ibukota Kecamatan pun lebih jauh, harus ditempuh dengan empat jam perjalanan menyusuri sungai dengan perahu.
