Clause dibagi menjadi 2 macam yaitu: Independent Clause Maksud dari independent clause ini adalah rangkaian kata itu bisa berdiri sendiri. Walaupun tetap tanpa diakhiri dengan tanda baca, rangkaian kata itu tetap bisa dimengerti dengan jelas dan juga tidak menimbulkan kebingungan atau pertanyaan.

Tour To American Corner

Hullaaaa. Last Tuesday on March 6th we're Communication Studies class going to American Corner or AmCor that located in Tanjungpura University Libraries. At 8 o'clock we're all already gathered in AmCor and ready for the class! But this time is different, we're all be comanded to play one of many games in AmCor. And i decided to play Jenga. It's not very difficult but it's a little tense because everyone who lose should upload something to their Instagram. How to play Jenga? You just need to stack the blocks until it become a tower. And you need to put out the block and put it again on top. Continously until one of the players break down the tower and game is over. On the first round, I lose because I break down the tower and the consequences is another players is upload something on my Instagram Stories. And that's how to play Jenga. It's easy right? I'm sorry for my bad grammar. hehe
