Passsive Voice

Refrensi  dari Internet

Pengertian Passive Voice

Passive voice adalah suatu grammatical construction (bentuk gramatikal) dimana subject pada sentence (kalimat) atau clause (klausa) tidak melakukan aksi, melainkan menerima aksi atau ditindaklanjuti (receiver of action) oleh agent lain (doer of action) baik disebutkan ataupun tidak. 

Sebaliknya, pada konstruksi active, subject pada sentence atau clause berhubungan langsung dengan verb dengan bertindak sebagai pelaku aksi.

Kalimat aktif dapat ditransformasi menjadi pasif, namun hanya transitive verb (mempunyai direct object) yang dapat diberlakukan demikian.

Rumus Passive Voice

Rumus passive voice adalah sebagai berikut di bawah ini.

Catatan:

• Auxiliary verb dapat berupa primary auxiliary verb be (is, are, am, was, were, be, been, being) maupun kombinasi antara dua primary (is/are being, was/were being, has/have been) maupun antara primary dan modal auxiliary verb (will be, will have been).
• Kombinasi auxiliary digunakan pada bentuk pasif pada tenses. Penjelasan lebih lengkap dapat dilihat di Bentuk Pasif pada Tenses, Infinitive, dan Gerund.
• Past participle yang digunakan berupa kata kerja transitive (memiliki direct object).

Contoh:

She can’t drive a car. (active voice, transitive), He always come on time. (active voice, intransitive)

• Perubahan bentuk dari base form ke past tense dan past participle secara regular maupun irregular.

Contoh:

play (base form) —> played (past participle), sing (base form) —> sung (past participle)

Pengecualian pada Transitive Verbs

Tidak semua transitive verb, kata kerja yang memiliki direct object, dapat dipasifkan. Beberapa kata kerja tersebut yang antara lain: have, become, lack, look like, mean, dll akan terdengar tidak wajar maknanya ketika dipasifkan. Beberapa contoh kalimat dari kata kerja tersebut adalah sebagai berikut.

Contoh:

• I have a great new idea. —> tidak dapat dipasifkan dengan: A great new idea is had by me.
• The snack contains aspartame. —> tidak dapat dipasifkan dengan: Aspartame is contained by the snack.

PASSIVE VOICE

1.     Refrensi Buku 1

A. Kalimat aktif (active voice) adalah kalimat dimana subject-nya melakukan pekerjaan.

Active voice lebih sering digunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dibandingkan dengan passive voice.

Contoh :

Active voice : They catch some cat in the cage.

Passive voice : Some cat are catched by Them in the cage. Dari contoh tersebut dapat dijelaskan sebagai berikut:

1.      Object dari active voice “some cat” menjadi subject dari passive voice

2.      Subject dari active voice (they) menjadi object dari passive voice. Perhatikan pula bahwa terjadi perubahan dari subject pronoun they menjadi object pronoun them.

3.      Verb1 (catch) pada active voice menjadi verb3 (catched) pada passive voice.

4.      Ditambahkannya be are di depan verb3. Be yang digunakan adalah tergantung pada subject passive voice dan tenses yang digunakan.

5.      Ditambahkannya kata by di belakang verb3.

6.      Khusus untuk kalimat-kalimat progressive (present, past, past perfect, future, past future, dan past future perfect continuous, perlu menambahkan ‘being’ di depan verb3). Kalau tidak ditambahkan “being”, tensisnya akan berubah, bukan progressive/continuous lagi.

B.     Kalimat pasif (passive voice) adalah kalimat dimana subject-nya dikenai pekerjaan oleh object kalimat. Passive voice digunakan karena object dari active voice merupakan informasi yang lebih penting dibandingkan dengan subject-nya.

Passive voice : that comic is being bought by sudibya à Active voice : Sudibya is buying that comic.

Dari contoh tersebut dapat dijelaskan:

1.      Object dari passive voice sudibya menjadi subject dari active voice.

2.      Subject dari passive voice that comic menjadi object dari active voice.

3.      Verb 3 (bought) pada passive voice berubah menjadi buying dan bila pada active voicenya verb 1 + ing maka pada passive voice harus ditambahkan being.

1. Simple present : Active : (S+V1) à Passive : to be (is/am/are) verb 3
2. Present Continuos: Active : (S+to be(is/am/are)+V+ing) à Passive : to be (is/am/are)+being+V3
3. Present Perfect: Active : (S+have/has+V3) à Passive : (have/has+been+V3)
4. Simple Past: Active : (S+V2) à Passive : to be ( was/were+V3)
5. Past Continuous: Active : S+to be (was/were)+Verb+ing) à Passive : to be (was/were)+being+V3
6. Past Perfect Active : (S+had+V3) à Passive : (had+been+V3)
