Latihan Soal Materi Passive Voice Bahasa Inggris

Pada dasarnya kalimat dapat berbentuk dalam kalimat aktif yang subyeknya melakukan pekerjaan atau kalimat pasif yang subyeknya dikenai suatu pekerjaan. Untuk lebih memudahkan pemahaman perubahan bentuk kalimat aktif menjadi pasif, berikut kami berikan contoh secara ringkas dan jelas dari berbagai bentuk tenses yang ada.

Tense                                                  Active                                                           Passive

Present tense               The man repairs the motorcycle                  The motorcycle is repaired

Present Continuous     The man is repairing the repairing              The motorcycle is being repaired

Present perfect tense   The man has repaired the motorcycle          The motorcycle has been repaired

Past Tense                    The man repaired the motorcycle               The motorcycle was repaired

Past Continuous tense  The man was repairing the motorcycle      The motorcycle was being repaired

Past Perfect Tense        The man had repaired the motorcycle        The motorcycle had been repaired 

Future Tense                The man will repair the motorcycle           The motorcycle will be repaired

Dari contoh diatas, bisa kita simpulkan cara untuk membuat kalimat pasif adalah sebagai berikut;

• Letakkan obyek dari kalimat aktif di awal kalimat pasif ( obyek kalimat aktif menjadi subyek kalimat pasif)
• Jika dalam kalimat aktif tidak ada auxiliary ( to be), maka tambahkan To Be yang sesuai dengan subyek dalam kalimat pasif tersebut. Dalam hal ini, bentuk TO Be nya harus sesuai dengan bentuk Tense- nya. Berikut penggunaan Be dalam kalimat pasif.

          Present Tense                       Am/is/are
          Past Tense                            Was/ Were
          Continuous                           Being
          Perfect                                  Been
          Modal                                   Be
          Gerund                                 To be   

• Letakkan kata kerja utama dari kalimat aktif sesudah auxiliary ( to be) dalam bentuk V-3 ( past participle).
• Gunakan preposition By sesudah kata  kerja utama dalam kalimat pasif. Adapun  penggunaan By dapat dihilangkan apabila maksudnya sudah dimengerti.
