Pelajaran 73 : Menggabungkan Dua Gagasan (4)

Menghubungkan dua gagasan dengan BECAUSE

Because mengekpresikan sebuah sebab / alasan. Because digunakan untuk menggabungkan dua kalimat yang terdiri dari :

Main Clause (klausa utama) misal : The children were upset
Adverb Caluse (klausa keterangan) : There was no food in the house

Penggabungan : The children were upset because there was no food in the house.

Penggabungan dengan because tidak memerlukan tanda koma dalam penulisannya, jadi frasa di atas tidak bisa dituliskan sbb :
The children were upset, Because there was no food in the house


Penggunaan koma dilakukan jika Because ditulis di bagian depan sbb :
Because there was no food in the house, the children were upset.

Coba gabungkan du kalimat ini sebagai latihan :

1. The bridge is closed. We can't drive to the other side of river.
