PREPOSITION DI AKHIR KALIMAT
Hindari meletakkan sebuah kata depan di akhir kalimat karena kata depan sebaiknya di depan kata benda.
- That is a situation I have not thought of. (KURANG BAIK)
- I have not thought of that situation. (LEBIH BAIK)
- She is a person I cannot cope with. (KURANG BAIK)
- I cannot cope with her. (LEBIH BAIK)
- It is behavior I will not put up with. (KURANG BAIK)
- I will not put up with the behavior. (LEBIH BAIK)
Kalau Anda terbentur pada posisi kata depan yang menurut Anda harus diletakkan di akhir kalimat, maka pindahkan posisinya pada tempat yang tepat dan tidak merubah makna kalimat yang ingin Anda sampaikan. Bentuk lain dari kalimat salah di atas adalah:
- That is a situation of which I have not thought.
- She is a person with whom I cannot cope.
- It is behaviour up with which I will not put.
APA YANG MENGIKUTI KATA DEPAN?
Kata setelah kata depan disebut sebagai “Object of the Preposition“.
- The cat ran under the car.
(Kata “the car” adalah objek dari “under”.) - Can you give this parcel to him tomorrow?
(Kata “him” adalah objek dari “to“.)
Kata Depan dapat juga berada di depan kata ganti (Pronouns) selain kata benda.
- Can you give the parcel to him?
- I went to the cinema with them.
Namun kata “whom” merupakan objective case dari “who“, dan hal ini dapat membingungkan pembaca.
- Andy saw the scouts, at least one of whom was armed, through the mist.
- Against whom did you protest if there was nobody present?
