2. Gigih dan Bertekad Bulat

Kegigihan dan kebulatan tekad mereka diperkuat oleh suatu bahan bakar yang bernama keinginan membara untuk mencapai tujuan keberhasilan dalam bidang bisnis mereka masing-masing.

3. Percaya Diri

Kemandirian mereka juga disertai dengan kepercayaan diri. Mereka percaya akan kemampuan mereka sendiri, dan mereka memastikan bahwa mereka berusaha sebaik mungkin dan sekaligus mengharapkan hasil terbaik dari usaha mereka. Dunia bisnis sangatlah kompetitif, dan dunia bisnis bukanlah tempat yang cocok untuk orang-orang yang hanya setengah hati dalam berbisnis.

Relative Clauses

How to Form Relative Clauses

Imagine, A girl is talking to Tom. You want to know who she is and ask a friend whether He knows her. You could say:
"A girl is talking to Tom. Do you know the girl?"

That sounds rather complicated, doesn't it? It would be easier with a relative clause: you put both pieces of information into one sentence. Start with the most important thing - you want to know who the girl is.

"Do you know the girl ..."

As your friend cannot know which girl you are talking about, you need to put in the additional information - the girl is talking to Tom. Use,, the girl "only in the first part of the sentence, in the second part replace it with the relative pronoun (for people, use the relative pronoun,, who)" So the final sentence is:

"Do you know the girl who is talking to Tom?"

Relative Pronouns



relative pronoun
use
example
who
subject or object pronoun for people
I told you about the woman who lives next door.
which
subject or object pronoun for animals and things
Do you see the cat which is lying on the roof?
which
referring to a whole sentence
He couldn’t read which surprised me.
whose
possession for people animals and things
Do you know the boy whose mother is a nurse?
whom
object pronoun for people, especially in non-defining relative clauses (in defining relative clauses we colloquially prefer who)
I was invited by the professor whom I met at the conference.
that
subject or object pronoun for people, animals and things in defining relative clauses (who or which are also possible)
I don’t like the table that stands in the kitchen.


Subject Pronoun or Object Pronoun?

Subject and object pronouns cannot be distinguished by their forms - who, which, that are sed for subject and object pronouns. You can, however, distinguisg them as follows:

If the relative pronoun is followed by a verb, the relative pronoun is a subject pronoun. Subject pronouns must always be used.

"The apple which is lying on the table"

If the relative pronoun is not followed by a verb (but by a noun or pronoun), the relatve pronoun is an  object pronoun. Object pronouns can be dropped in defining relative clauses, which are then called Contact Clauses.

"The apple (which) George lay on the table"

Relative Adverbs

a relative adverb can be used instead of a relative pronoun plus preposition. This ften makes the sentence easier to understand.
"This is the shop in which I bought my bike."

relative adverb
meaning
use
example
when
in/on which
refers to a time expression
the day when we met him
where
in/at which
refers to a place
the place where we met him
why
for which
refers to a reason
the reason why we met him
 

Defining Relative Clauses

Defining relative clauses (also called identifying relative clauses or restrictive relative clauses) give detailed information defining a general term or expression.
Defining relative clauses are not put in commas.

Imagine, Tom is in a room with five girls. One girl is talking to Tom and you ask somebody whether he knows this girl. Here the relative clause defines which of the five girls you mean.
"Do you know thw girl who is talking to Tom?"

Defining relative clauses are often used in definitions.

"A seaman is someone who works on a ship."

Object pronouns is defning relative clauses can be dropped. (Sentences with a relative clause without the relative prnoun are called Contact Clause).

:The boy (who/whom) we met yesterday is very nice."

Non-Defining Relative Clauses

Non-defining clauses (also called non-identifying relative clause or non-retrictive relative clauses) give additional information on something, but do not define it. Non-defining relative clauses are put in commas.

Imagine, Tom is n a room with only one girl. The two are talking to each other and you ask somebody whether he knows this girl. Here the relative clause is non-defining because in this situation it is obvious which girl you mean.

"Do you know the girl, who is talking to Tom?"

Note: In non-defining relative clauses, who/which may not be replaced with that.

Object pronouns is non-defining relative clauses must be used.

"Jim, who/whom we met yesterday, is very nice."

How to Shorten Relative Clauses?

Relative Clases with who, which, that as subject pronoun can be replaced with a participle. This makes the sentence shorter and easier to understand.

"I told you about the woman who lives next door. -> I told you about the woman living next door."

"Do you see the cat which is lying n the roof? -> Do you see the cat lying on the roof?"

Nah , jika anda ingin berjualan di tokopedia atau situs sejenisnya , ada baiknya untuk menggunakan foto produk yang diambil sendiri . Ini untuk memberikan ciri pada produk Anda , sehingga manakala harga yang anda tawarkan jauh lebih mahal tetap akan menarik calon pembeli . 
Selain itu kalau bisa foto yang kita upload merupakan foto yang aslinya, jangan banyak yang di edit karena bisa membuat customer kecewa bila hasil tidak sesuai dengan harapannya.

Passive Voice

In passive sentences, the "thing" receiving the action is the subject of the sentence and the "thing" doing the action optionally included near the end of the sentence. You can use the passive form if you think that the "thing" receiving the action is more important. You can also use the passive form if you do not know who is doing the action or if you do not want to mention who is doing the action.

Formula:
[thing receiving action] + [be] + [past participle of verb] + [by] + [thing doing action] 

Examples:

  •  The students            are taught           by the professor.
           Subject receiving    Passive verb       doing action
                   action
