Penjelasan Materi

Dalam bahasa inggris, Cause and Effect yaitu jenis kalimat majemuk yang memiliki sebab
(berisi kejadian/sesuatu yang menjadi alasan/latar belakang sebuah masalah/peristiwa) dan
dapat menimbulkan akibat (menjelaskan kejadian yang merupakan efek/dampak yang terjadi
dari suatu kegiatan).

Cause berarti sesuatu yang terjadi, sedangkan Effect merupakan konsekuensi/akibat dari
adanya kejadian tersebut.

Di dalam Kamus Bahasa Inggris, meaning of CAUSE yaitu sebagai;

a. Cause (noun/kata benda) = sebab/penyebab, bisa berupa sesuatu maupun seseorang
yang membuat sesuatu terjadi
Example; The cause of global warming involves the overuse of motorist vehicle.
(Penyebab pemanasan global ialah penggunaan kendaraan bermotor secara
terus menerus)
b. Cause (verb/kata kerja) = kegiatan yang menyebabkan terjadinya sesuatu.
Example; The overuse of motorist vehicle causes global warming
(Penggunaan kendaraan bermotor secara terus menerus dapat menyebabkan
pemanasan global)

b. Effect (noun) = sebuah akibat dan dampak yang terjadi dari sebuah kegiatan atau peristiwa.
Example; The weather had an effect on her emotion.
(Cuaca mempunyai pengaruh terhadap perasaannya)

Cause and Effect tidak hanya digunakan dalam bentuk kalimat tetapi juga dapat digunakan
