Materi 9 : CONNECTRS

Pengertian

Connectors adalah kata penghubung atau conjunction memiliki 3 jenis yaitu : 

1.      Coordinating Connectors

Adalah kata hubung yang digunakan untuk menghubungkan dua konstruksi gramatikal yang sama yaitu: kata, frasa (phrase), atau klausa (clause). Elemen yang dihubungkan tersebut biasanya bersifat paralel (kedudukannya sejajar) secara struktur gramatikal. Kata hubung ini sering digunakan pada compound sentence untuk menghubungkan dua independent clause.

 

Punctuation (Tanda Baca) pada Coordinate Connectors

Jika coordinate connectors digunakan untuk menghubungkan dua independent clause di dalam suatu compound sentence, maka tanda baca koma (comma) ditempatkan tepat sebelum kata hubung tersebut.

Contoh Punctuation pada Coordinate Connectors:

-          I love running and swimming. (antar verb)

-          Rita and I arrived this morning, and we just left 10 minutes ago. (antar independent clause)
