Notes :
1) Bentuk pasif biasanya juga dapat digunakan untuk
menyatakan perbuatan yang dilakukan tidak dengan sengaja,
atau dalam Bahasa Indonesia sepadan dengan arti “TER”
dalam kalimat berikut ini :
a. I was woken up by that noise
( Saya terbangnkan oleh suara gaduh itu )
b. I was surprised to see him
( saya terkejut melihat dia )
c. I am interested in foreign language
( saya tertarik pada bahasa asing )
d. The door is locked
( pintu itu terkunci )
e. The window is opened
( jendela itu terbuka )
f. The room is closed
( kamar itu tertutup )
2) Kadang-kadang bentuk aktif (terutama infinitive) sering
mempunyai arti atau dimaksudkan untuk menyatakan pasif.
Contoh :
a. This book is easy to understand
( buku ini mudah untuk difahami )
b. He has a large family to support
( Dia mempunyai keluarga besar yang harus dibantu )
c. I have bought a new book to read
( Saya telah membeli sebuah buku baru untu dibaca )
d. There are many problems to solve
( Terdapat banyak masalah untuk dipecahkan )
e. There are many difficult to overcome
( Terdapat banyak kesulitan untuk diatasi )
3) Jika kita melarang melakukan sesuatu kepada orang lain
dengan melibatkan kata kerja “di”, maka setelah kata “don’t”
harus diletakan “be”.
Conto :
a. Don’t be killded ! ( jangan dibunuh )
b. Don’t be thrown ! ( Jangan dibuang )
c. Don’t be hurt ! ( Jangan disakiti )
d. Don’t be locked down ! ( Jangan dihina )
e. Don’t be written ! ( Jangan ditulis )
f. Don’t be heard ! ( Jangan didengar )
4) Jika dalam kalimat aktif terdapat dua objek, maka kedua-
duanya dapat dijadikan subjek dalam kalimat pasif.
Contoh :
a. Aktif : He gave me a book
( I was given a book by him ) passive
( a book was given to me by him ) passive
b. Aktif : She was bringing them a parcel
( They were being brought a parcel by her ) passive
( a parcel was being brought to them by her ) passive
c. Aktif : they lend me a pen
( I am lent a pen by them ) passive
( a pen is lent to me by them ) passive
