Defining Relative Clauses

As the name suggests, defining relative clauses give essential information to define or identify the person or thing we are talking about. Take for example the sentence: Dogs that like cats are very unusual. In this sentence we understand that there are many dogs in the world, but we are only talking about the ones that like cats. The defining relative clause gives us that information. If the defining relative clause were removed from the sentence, the sentence would still be gramatically correct, but its meaning would have changed significantly.

Defining relative clauses are composed of a relative pronoun (sometimes omitted), a verb, and optional other elements such as the subject or object of the verb. Commas are not used to separate defining relative clauses from the rest of the sentence. Commas or parentheses are used to separate non-defining relative clauses from the rest of the sentence.

Examples

1. Children who hate chocolate are uncommon.
2. They live in a house whose roof is full of holes.
3. An elephant is an animal that lives in hot countries.
4. Let's go to a country where the sun always shines.
5. The reason why I came here today is not important.

Passive Voice

Passive voice is a grammatical voice common in many languages. In a clause with passive voice, the grammatical subject expresses the theme or patient of the main verb – that is, the person or thing that undergoes the action or has its state changed. This contrasts with active voice in which the subject has the agent role. For example, in the passive sentence "The tree was pulled down", the subject (the tree) denotes the patient rather than the agent of the action. In contrast, the sentences "Someone pulled down the tree" and "The tree is down" are active sentences.

Typically, in passive clauses, what is usually expressed by the object (or sometimes another argument) of the verb is now expressed by the subject, while what is usually expressed by the subject is either deleted, or is indicated by some adjunct of the clause. Thus, turning an active verb into a passive verb is a valence-decreasing process ("detransitivizing process"), because it turns transitive verbs into intransitive verbs. This is not always the case; for example in Japanese a passive-voice construction does not necessarily decrease valence.

Many languages have both an active and a passive voice; this allows for greater flexibility in sentence construction, as either the semantic agent or patient may take the syntatic role of subject. The use of passive voice allows speakers to organize stretches of discourse by placing figures other than the agent in subject position. This may be done to foreground the patient, recipient, or other thematic role it may also be useful when the semantic patient is the topic of on-going discussion. The passive voice may also be used to avoid specifying the agent of an action.

Tugas Bahasa Inggris Bisnis 2 (Adverb)

Adverbs modify verbs. But they also modify adjectives and other adverbs, indicating "when" "in what way," and "to what degree." For example

1. He drove frantically.
2. The air was strangely silent.
3. He drove very frantically

In the first and last sentences, the adverb frantically modifies the verb drove. In the second sentence, strangely modifies the adjective silent. Note that in the third sentence, the adverb frantically is modified by the adverb very.

When you are describing something in a positive way, remember that good is an adjective, but well is in adverb. Thus, one of these sentences is incorrect :

1. I sing good
2. I sing well
3. I am a good singer.

The first one is wrong : the adjective good cannot modify the verb sing. Here is a contrasting example :
This works fine. Now, the adjective good modifies the noun singer.
