Catatan
Dalam merubah kalimat dari bentuk’active’ ke dalam bentuk ‘passive’ maka ada
beberapa hal yang penting untuk dipehatikan. Cermatilah langkah-langkah dan ketentuan
dalam ‘passive voice’ berikut ini:
1. Dalam bentuk passive kalimat menekankan maknanya pada benda/ hal yang dikenai
pekerjaan bukan siapakah peelakunya/ subjeknya belum jelas maka lebih baik dihilangkan.
Oleh karena itu pada beberapa contoh diatas kata ‘by him’ diberi tanda kurung karena bisa
dihilangkan dengan tanpa mengabaikan makna dasarnya. Contoh pelaku yang bisa
dihilankan adalah: someone, somebody, anybody, I, you, they, we, he, she, it, etc
2. Penentuan yang mana subjek dan mana objek sangatlah penting karena pertukaran tempat
yang terjadi dalam perubahan bentuk ini yaitu ‘objek’ ditaruh di posisi depan untuk
menggantikan posisi ‘subjek’ dan sebaliknya ‘subjek’ ditarik ke posisi belakang untuk
menggantikan posisi ‘objek’.
3. Dalam menjawab soal anda perlu memperhatikan ‘time signal’ keterangan waktunya. Karena
dengan mengetahuinya kita akan bisa menetukan bentuk kata kerja passive yang mana yang
kita gunakan
