20 Contoh Soal Cause and Effect Pelajaran Bahasa Inggris Beserta Kunci Jawabannya

Salah satu materi pelajaran Bahasa Inggris SD adalah mengenai cause and effect. Cause and effect berarti sebab-akibat, yang penting diketahui Si Kecil.

Dalam pelajaran Bahasa Inggris, cause and effect adalah materi yang membahas tentang kalimat atau paragraf yang di dalamnya menggambarkan hubungan antara dua hal, ketika satu hal menyebabkan sesuatu yang lain terjadi.

Sementara jika diartikan satu per satu, cause (sebab) adalah seseorang, peristiwa, kondisi atau tindakan yang memicu sesuatu terjadi, sedangkan effect (akibat) adalah dampak, hasil, atau perubahan yang dihasilkan ketika sesuatu dilakukan atau terjadi.

Contoh seorang pelajar lupa menyikat gigi semalam (cause). Oleh karena itu, dia sakit gigi keesokan paginya (effect). Berarti, sakit giginya disebabkan dia lupa menyikat gigi.

Dari contoh, kita dapat melihat satu hal terjadi karena hal lain (lupa menyikat gigi). Hal tersebut mengakibatkan hal lain terjadi (sakit gigi). Kita dapat menggabungkan dua kejadian dengan menggunakan adverb clause, seperti because-, since-, dan as -. Ketiganya memiliki makna dan fungsi yang sama.

Terpenting, yaitu cara menggabungkan independent clause (the effect) dan adverb clause. Kuncinya, kita harus tahu kejadian yang pertama terjadi.
