A. Passive Voice
Passive voice merupakan struktur kalimat penulisan dalam
bahasa Inggris yang mana subject (pelaku) dari kalimat tersebut dikenakan suatu
pekerjaan. Passive voice tidak hanya ada dalam bahasa Inggris saja, dalam
bahasa Indonesia kita mengenal Kalimat Pasif dengan perubahan yang sangat
simple yaitu imbuhan di- / ter-. Misalkan Rini membaca sebuah novel (kalimat
aktif) novel dibaca oleh Rini (kalimat pasif). Tetapi semudah itu kah perubahan
dari Active Voice ke Passasive Voice?
B. Pola Passive Voice
Perubahan active voice ke passive voice tidak semudah
perubahan kalimat aktif ke dalam kalimat pasif dalam bahasa Indonesia.
Pola:
S + Be + Verb-3 + By Agent
Ket:
S: Subjek
Be: Tobe
Verb-3: Kata kerja bentuk ketiga
By Agent: Pelaku
Contoh:
Rini reads Novel. (Active Voice)
[S] [V1]
[Object]
Novel is read by Rini. (Passive Voice)
[S] [to be]
[V3] [by agent]
Dalam pembuatan kalimat passive voice, kita tidak akan lepas
dengan yang namanya tenses. Yup, karena dalam penentuan 'to be' pada kalimat
passive voice tergantung pada tenses
kalimat aktifnya.
