Linking Words dalam Kalimat Kompleks Cause and Effect

Linking words adalah kata-kata yang digunakan untuk mengawali sebuah kalimat atau klausa. Linking words sendiri dapat dibagi menjadi tiga jenis, yaitu conjunctions, transitions, dan prepositions.

1. Conjunctions

Conjunction berguna untuk menghubungkan dua independent clauses menjadi satu kalimat. Kata hubung yang digunakan adalah because, since, as (cause) dan so (effect)

  • I didn’t have any lunch because Jack stole mine.
  • The teacher was angry since the students were being noisy.
  • My dad had extra work to do in the office, so he got home late.
2. Prepositions

Preposition berguna untuk mengawali sebuah frasa benda yang menunjukan sebab. Kata hubung yang digunakan adalah due to, because of, thanks to dan owing to.

  • Because of the show cancellation, we need to cancel our trip to Los Angeles.
  • Due to Bella’s nervousness, she did not pass the driving test.
  • I didn't attend the practice owing to the headache.
  • Thanks to your help, we were successful.
3. Transitions

Transition words digunakan untuk menjaga kesinambungan dua kalimat yang dipisahkan dengan tanda titik (.) Kata hubung yang digunakan dalam transition adalah so, then, hence, finally, therefore, as a result, consequently, dan for this reason.

  • I just got my month pay check. Therefore, I could buy a new pair of shoes.
  • The food delivery was not coming yesterday. Hence, I ordered another one.
  • I didn’t bring any money to the grocery store. Therefore, I couldn’t buy anything there.
  • She never cleans her room. As a result, her room is always dirty.

Prinsip

Hal yang perlu diperhatikan adalah jika kata hubung terletak di awal kalimat, kita perlu menggunakan tanda baca koma. Akan tetapi jika kata hubungnya berada di tengah, kita tidak perlu menggunakan koma.

As it was getting late, we decided to book into a hotel. (Karena sudah larut, kami memutuskan untuk memesan hotel ).

You can go first as you’re the oldest. (Anda boleh duluan, karena anda yang tertua)
