Abstract

There are three kinds of clauses that are discussed in this study; they are nominal, relative, and adverbial clauses, and then each of these clauses has its own divisions. The article was oriented to the results about the university students’ competences in these concerns. The study aimed to describe the results of the objective test that had been done by the students. The research samples consisted of 80 persons. The data were analyzed by using a mean percentage. The findings showed that the six semester students had got 12.50% of nominal clauses, 13.75% of relative clauses, and 38.34% of adverbial clauses, so that the mean percentage of the students’ competences was 21.53%. It was suggested that all divisions of clauses be discussed in syntax class by showing more examples to the main problems faced by the students, so that they were able to differentiate among the clauses.
