Perbedaan Word, Phrase, Clause, dan Sentence

WORD/PHRASE/CLAUSE/SENTENCE DALAM BAHASA INGGRIS

Seringkali kita mendengar istilah word, phrase, clause, atau sentence dalam bahasa Inggris akan tetapi kita terkadang juga sulit membedakan istilah-istilah tersebut dan juga memahaminya. untuk lebih jelasnya apa itu word/phrase/clause/sentence, bisa di cek dibawah ini.
💝 Word
A word is the smallest unit of grammar that can stand alone as a complete utterance, separated by spaces in written language and potentially by pauses in speech.-David Crystal, The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language. Cambridge University Press, 2003A word is a speech sound or a combination of sounds, or its representation in writing, that symbolizes and communicates a meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or a combination of morphemes.
Penjelasan diatas menjelaskan bahwa word adalah unit terkecil dari tata bahasa Inggris atau kombinasi suara yang menunjukkan makna dan bisa terdiri dari satu morpheme atau lebih.
Contoh:
  • Study = Belajar
  • Girl = Gadis
  • She = Dia(pr0
  • Smart = Cerdas
  • fast = dengan cepat
  • Because = Karena
  • In = Didalam
💝Phrase

A phrase is a group of words that stands together as a single grammatical unit, typically as part of a clause or a sentence.

A phrase does not contain a subject and verb and, consequently, cannot convey a complete thought. A phrase contrasts with a clause. A clause does contain a subject and verb, and it can convey a complete idea.

A phrase is a group of words standing together as a single grammatical unit having meaning, but it does not contain a subject and verb.

Arti dari phrase dalam konteks bahasa indonesia adalah rangkaian kata yang mempunyai makna atau arti akan tetapi tidak berpola subject + predikat.

Example:
  • The young lady = Wanita muda
  • is working = Sedang bekerja
  • really bored with the movie = sangat bosan dengan film itu
  • Very softly = Sangat lembut
  • About money = Tentang uang
💝Clause

clause “a group of words containing a subject and predicate and functioning as a member of a complex or compound sentence.
Merriam-Webster
A clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb
- Betty Schrampfer Azar

Berdasarkan definisi-definisi diatas, clause adalah rangkaian kata yang bermakna dan berpola subject dan predikat.
Example:
  • The young lady is really bored with the movie
  • because the movie is not interesting
💝Sentence

A sentence is a group of words giving a complete thought. A sentence must contain a subject and a verb (although one may be implied).

sentence is a set of words that contain a subject and a predicate (what is said about the subject)

A sentence is a set of words that is complete in itself, typically containing a subject and predicate, conveying a statement, question, exclamation, or command, and consisting of a main clause and sometimes one or more subordinate clauses.
