Barusan saya membuka talkenglish.com dan disitu ada postingan yang menginformasikan daftar pronoun atau kata ganti bahasa Inggris. Jumlahnya cukup banyak yaitu 58 buah. Jika Anda belum memahami apa itu pronoun, silakan lihat artikel Pronouns atau kata ganti dalam bahasa Inggris.
58 pronoun yang ada di dalam postingan ini, tentu tidak semuanya mutlak sebagai pronoun. Ada juga yang berfungsi sebagai kata sifat, kata keterangan, dan kata benda. Namun, tetap mempunyai fungsi sebagai pronoun atau kata ganti.
Salah satu contohnya adalah which yang mempunyai fungsi sebagai pronoun dan adjective. Bagaimana which berperan sebagai pronoun dan bagaimana ia berperan sebagai adjective? Silakan lihat contoh berikut ini:
Which sebagai adjective : The police which hit me is standing over there. (Polisi yang memukulku sedang berdiri disana.)
Which sebagai pronoun : Which do you like? (Mana yang kamu suka?)
Lihat bahwa kalimat pertama berarti which memodifikasi noun. Ia memodifikasi police. Sedangkan kalimat kedua, which menggantikan noun, bukan memodifikasinya.
