Kartu aturan tata bahasa › Batas kalimat (struktur dan tanda baca)
Informasi tambahan: tanda baca berpasangan
Nonessential information: matching punctuation
Aturan
Extra information that could be removed without changing the main meaning is set off by a matching pair of commas, dashes or parentheses. Do not mix them.
Informasi tambahan yang bisa dihapus tanpa mengubah makna utama diapit sepasang koma, tanda pisah, atau tanda kurung. Jangan dicampur.
✔ Benar: The bridge—completed in 1932—is now a landmark.
✘ Salah: The bridge—completed in 1932, is now a landmark.
→ Perbaikan: Use two dashes or two commas, not one of each.
Tips: Delete the middle part. If the sentence still works, it needs matching punctuation on both sides.
