Skill 1 : Use a coordinate
conjunction with correct connector
Many words in English have more than
one clause :
·
I am learning .
·
Mom is cooking , and dad is working
in the garden .
·
The girl who is looking at me is my
neighbor .
The first sentence has only one
clause while the last two sentences have two clauses of the first ' mom is
cooking ' and ' dad is working in the garden . ' The second ' the girl is my
neighbor ' and ' who is looking at me . ' From the above examples we can
conclude that the clause was part of the sentence or the sentence itself that
has a subject and a verb . It is generally understood that the clause is a
group of words that contains a subject and a verb .
In this skill will be learned about
the forms of coordinate conjunctions connector and its use in the sentence .
Coordinate connector is used to connect between one another clause by clause .
Common coordinate connector examples are: and , but , or , so , yet . Note the
use of commas before.
·
Tom is singing , and Paul is dancing
.
·
Tom is tall , but Paul is short .
·
Tom must write the letter , or Paul
will do it .
·
Tom told a joke , so Paul laughed .
·
Tom is tired , yet he is not going
to sleep .
The example below illustrates how to
coordinate the connector used as a matter of Structure TOEFL test .
Ex:
A power failure occured, _____ the
lamps went out.
a) then
b) so
c) later
d) next
Skill 2: Use a Adverb Time Connector
and Cause Connector correctly
Sentences using clauses of clause
adverb of time has 2 basic patterns:
·
I will sign the check before you
live.
·
Before you live, I will sign the
check.
Each of the examples above, there
are two clauses: you live and I will sign the check. The second clause of the
adverb time clause which (you live) because it is preceded by a conjunctive
adverb time connector (before). Note the use of the coma when the time adverb
connector located at the front of the sentence.
The example below illustrates how
the pattern is used as a matter of sentence in Structure TOEFL test.
Ex:
_____ was late, I missed the
appointment.
a) I
b) Because
c) The train
d) Since he
Skill 3: Use the information that
the Other Adverb Other Connectors with correct
|

|
Condition(pengandaian)
|
Contrast (berlawanan)
|
Manner(cara)
|

|
|
If (jika)
In case (if)

|
|
Contoh:
Bob Went to school even though he felt sick.
Even though Bob felt sick, he went to school. |
|||
Note:
Note the use of the coma when the
connector at the beginning of the sentence.
Pay attention to the subject (the
word is blocked) and verbs (words that are blocked and underlined) in each
clause
Except: While or whereas
always use comma (,)
·
The Smith family arrived at 2:00, while
the Jones family arrived an hour later.
·
Mary is rich, while John is
poor.
·
While John is poor, Mary is rich.
·
Whereas John is poor, Mary is rich.
The example below illustrates how
the pattern is used as a matter of sentence in Structure TOEFL test.
Ex :
You will get a good grade on the
exam provided _____.
a) studying
b) study
c) to study
d) you study
Skill 4: Use Noun Clause Connectors
with correct.
|
NOUN CLAUSE CONNECTORS
|
|||
|
what, when, where, why, how
|
whatever, whenever
|
||
|
whether (apakah), if (apakah)
|
that (bahwa / sering tidak
diartikan)

example :
I know what you did
I: Subject
V : Verb
What : Noun Connector
You: Subjects
Did ( work ) : Verb
Example above we can know that the
Noun Clause ( what you did ) serves as the object of the sentence.
example :
What you did was wrong
What : noun connector
you : the subject
did : verb
was : verb
Example above we can know that the
Noun Clause ( what you did ) serves as the subject of the sentence.
Noun clause is a form of clause that
functions as a noun which means it can occupy the position of the noun is : as
the subject or object of a verb or preposition objects.
1. I know when he will arrive . ( noun
clause as the object of the verb )
2. I am concerned about when he will
arrive . ( noun clause as the object of a preposition )
3. When he will arrive is not important
. ( noun clause as subject of the sentence )
In the example the first sentence ,
there are two clauses , and I know he will arrive . The two clauses are
connected by connectors when . When changing the clause he will arrive into a
noun clause that functions as the object of the verb know .
In the second example , the second
clause and I know he will arrive connected by connectors ( conjunctions ) when
. When changing the clause he will arrive into a noun clause that functions as
the object of the preposition about .
In the third example is more
difficult . In the example sentence , there are two clauses , but rather
difficult to recognize. He will arrive is the subject of sentences .
Note :
When he will arrive is not important
.
When he will arrive ( subject )
When : connector
he: subjects
will arrive : the verb of the clause
he will arrive
is : verb of the sentence
The example below illustrates how
the pattern is used as a matter of sentence in Structure TOEFL test .
Ex :
_______ was late cused many
problems.
a) That he
b) The driver
c) There
d) Because
Skill 5: Use noun clause connectors
that functions as well as the subject (Noun Clause Connectors / Subjects) with
correct.
|
NOUN CLAUSE CONNECTORS/SUBJECTS
|
|||
|
Who what which
Whoever whatever whichever
|
|||
· S
V
Noun
connector/subject
V
I
know
what
happened
Example above we can know that the
'what' not only serves as a connector, but also at the same time the subject of
the noun clause 'what happened.'
·
Noun
connector/subject
V
V
What
happened was great
Example above we can know that the
'what' not only serves as a connector, but also at the same time the subject of
the noun clause 'what happened.' And 'what happened' function is the subject of
the sentence What happened was great.
In this skill 10 we would learn that
the noun clause connector not only serves as a connector but can also
simultaneously be the subject of a noun clause .
1. I do not know what is
in the box .
2. We are concerned about who will
do the work .
3. Whoever is coming to the party must bring
a gift .
In the example the first sentence ,
there are two clauses , I do not know and what is in the box
. The two clauses are connected by a connector ( conjunctive ) what .
Please note in this sentence connectors ' what' has two roles : as the subject
of the verb ' is ' as well as a connector that connects to the second clause .
In the second example , there are
two clauses . In the first clause , we are on the subject are .
In clause 2, who was the subject of a will do . Who also
serves as a connector that connects between the two clauses . Noun clause
who will do the work serves as the object of the preposition about .
In the third example , also there
are two clauses : the subject of whoever is coming . Whoever
is coming to the party is the subject of a must bring . Connector
word ' whoever ' serves as the subject of the verb is coming as well as
a connector that connects to the two clauses .
Ex:
____ was on television made me angry
a.It
b.The story
c.What
d.When
Skill 6: Use Adjective clause
connectors that functions as well as the subject (Adjective Clause Connector)
with correct .
|
ADJECTIVE CLAUSE CONNECTORS
|
|||
|
whom
(for people)
|
which
(for things) |
that
(for people or things) |
|
|
S V
adjective connector
S V
I liked
the
book
which
you recommmend.
S
adjective connector
S V
The
book
which
you
recommended
was interesting.
|
|||
Note:
Adjective connectors can be removed
(omitted). This omission is very common in speaking but not as common in
English as well as in formal Structure TOEFL test.
Adjective clause is a clause that
functions as an adjective ( adjective ) is ' describes the noun ( noun ) . '
It's just not exactly the same position . If the adjective ( adjective )
normally before the noun described , while the adjective after the noun clause
was his .
·
The woman is filling
the glass that she put on the table .
·
The glass that she put
on the table contains milk .
In the example the first sentence ,
there are two clauses : , woman is the subject of the verb is filling ,
and she is the subject of the verb 'put ' . That is a adjective
clause connector which connects to the two clauses above , and the
adjective clause 'that she put on the table ' to explain / describe the noun
glass .
In the second example , also
contained two clauses . The word ' glass' is the subject of the verb ' contains
' and she is the subject of the verb 'put . ' That is a adjective clause
connector. Adjective clause 'that she put on the table ' describes the noun '
glass . '
The example below illustrates how
the pattern is used as a matter of sentence in Structure TOEFL test .
Ex:
The gift ______ selected for the
bride was rather expensive.
a.because
b.was
c.since
d.which we
