For
information :
1) If
the action is not
known for certain subject, then the object offender on passive sentences
like “by him,
by someone, by
them, by the people, etc.”
can be eliminated.
Example :
(Active) Someone stole my car.
(Passive)
My car was stolen.
2) Objects
in the passive voice actors must still
be written if that
perform certain actions
already the subject, for example: by Rini,
by Chairil Anwar, by Colombus, by H. Mansyur, etc.
Example : (Active) Chairil
Anwar wrote “Aku”.
(Passive) “Aku” was written by Chairil
Anwar.
3) If
the active sentence
with two objects
are the direct and indirect object has two
passive forms.
Example : (Active) Nadin gives me a bag
(Passuve)
Direct : I am given a bag by Nadin.
Indirect : A bag is given to me by Nadin
4) Which
can be used as passive
only active sentences
that predicate form :
Ø Transtive
Verb is a verb
which still requires
an object, likes : buy, bring, give, tell, do visit,
drink eat, agree, discover, write, etc.
*
He writes….. WHAT….?
So the
verb "writes" still requires or
demands object or
complement.
Ø Meanwhile,
active sentences with
Intransitive Verb (verb that requires no object)
can not be passive. Without object or
complement, a sentence that uses the verb types can already be understood. For
example : go, arrive, come, sleep, look, seem, appear, bleed, etc.
Example :
|
·
They sleep soundly
|
·
You look very so handsome
|
|
·
Mariza just arrived at school
|
·
All students come on time
|
|
·
Tina seems so tired
|
·
That man appears strange and
suspicious
