Sekilas tentang Passive Voice
Passive voice merupakan suatu bentuk gramatikal di mana subject menerima aksi / ditindak lanjuti oleh agent lain. Rumus umum dari konstruksi ini yaitu: S + auxiliary verb + past participle.
Rumus dan Contoh Passive Voice pada Tenses
Auxiliary untuk membentuk konstruksi pasif pada tenses dapat berupa auxiliary be (is, are, was, were), kombinasi antara dua primary auxiliary (is/are being, was/were being, has/have been), atau antara primary dengan modal helping verb (will be, will have been). Auxialiary tersebut kemudian dipadukan dengan past participle untuk membentuk passive verb form. Adapun rumus dan contoh passive voice pada beberapa macam tenses dapat dilihat pada tabel sebagai berikut.
Tenses | Rumus | Contoh | |
---|---|---|---|
Present | Simple | am/is/are + past participle | The statues are made of stones. |
Continuous | am/is/are + being + past participle | The clothes are being washed. | |
Perfect | has/have + been + past participle | Your messages have been sent. | |
Past | Simple | was/were + past participle | The house was built in 1980. |
Continuous | was/were + being + past participle | Your pant was being washed. | |
Perfect | had + been+ past participle | The house had been painted in blue. | |
Future | Simple | will + be + past participle | The letter will be sent immediately. |
Perfect | will + have + been + past participle | The article will have been read seventy times. |
