The
three sentences above are called complex sentences. The complex sentences has
two parts: independent and dependent clause.
The
independent clause is a complete thought and can stand as a sentence by
itself. The dependent clause, however, is not a complete thought. It depends
on the independent clause to get its meaning.
The
dependent clause can come before or after the independent clause in a complex
sentence. If it comes before, it is generally separated from the independent
clause by a comma. But if it comes after the independent clause, it doesn’t
have a comma.

Tiga kalimat di atas disebut kalimat kompleks. Kalimat kompleks memiliki dua
bagian: klausa independen dan dependen.
Klausa independen adalah pemikiran yang lengkap dan dapatberdiri sebagai kalimat dengan sendirinya. Klausa tergantung,bagaimanapun, adalah bukan pikiran yang lengkap. Hal ini tergantung pada klausa independen untuk mendapatkan maknanya. Klausa dependent bisa datang sebelum atau sesudah klausaindependen dalam kalimat kompleks. Jika ia datang sebelum, secara umum dipisahkan dari klausa independen dengan koma.Tapi jika datang setelah klausa independen, tidak memiliki koma. |
