4. PASSIVE VOICE
11
Passive voice adalah suatu grammatical construction (bentuk gramatikal) dimana subject
kalimat 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 berhubungan langsung dengan verb dengan
bertindak sebagai pelaku aksi. Kalimat aktif dapat ditransformasi menjadi pasif, namun
hanya transitive verb (diikuti direct object) yang dapat diberlakukan demikian.
Form :
S+ Auxiliary Verb + Past Participle
Auxiliary verb dapat berupa primary auxiliary verb be (is, are, am, was, were, be, been,
being), kombinasi antara dua primary (is/are being, was/were being, has/have been) atau
antara primary dan modal auxiliary verb (will be, will have been); sedangkan past participle
yang digunakan berupa kata kerja transitive.
Contoh:
She cant drive a car. (active voice, transitive).
He always come on time. (active voice, intransitive)
Komponen
Contoh Kalimat Passive Voice
Subject be PP
I am paid in dollars.
I am Paid
(Saya dibayar dalam dollar.)
the red velvet The red velvet recipe is used by many people.
is Used
recipe (Resep red velvet tsb digunakan oleh banyak orang.)
12

Thin Thinner The thinnest
2. Two syllable adjectives which end in -y usually form the comparative by adding -er and
the superlative by adding -est, (note the change of -y to -i in the comparative/superlative)
e.g.:
3. Two syllable adjectives ending in -ed, -ing, -ful, or -less always form the comparative
with more and the superlative with the most, e.g.:
14
4. Adjectives which have three or more syllables always form the comparative and
superlative with MORE and THE MOST, e.g.:
Note :
The only exceptions are some three syllable adjectives which have been formed by
adding the prefix -un to another adjective, especially those formed from an adjective
ending in -y. These adjectives can form comparatives and superlatives by using
more/most or adding -er/-est,
Examples:
Unhappy Unhappier The unhappiest/ the most unhappy.
IRREGULAR ADJECTIVES
15
1. Comparatives are very commonly followed by than and a pronoun or noun group, in
order to describe who the other person or thing involved in the comparison is, e.g.:
John is taller than me.
I think that shes more intelligent than her sister.
2. Comparatives are often qualified by using words and phrases such as much, a lot, far,
a bit/little, slightly etc., e.g.:
You should go by train, it would be much cheaper.
Could you be a bit quieter?
3. Two comparatives can be contrasted by placing the before them, indicating that a
change in one quality is linked to a change in another, e.g.:
The smaller the gift, the easier it is to send.
The more stressed you are, the worse it is for your health.
4. Two comparatives can also be linked with and to show a continuing increase in a
particular quality, e.g.:
The sea was getting rougher and rougher.
Her illness was becoming worse and worse.
16
This restaurant is the best in town.
6. RELATIVE CLAUSE
Adjective clause atau relative clause adalah dependent clause yang berfungsi sebagai
adjective dan menjelaskan noun atau pronoun pada main clause dari suatu complex sentence
(kalimat yang terdiri dari independent clause dan satu atau lebih dependent clause).
Posisi adjective clause selalu mengikuti noun atau pronoun yang diterangkannya. Di
dalam kalimat, noun atau pronoun itu berfungsi sebagai subject atau object. Adjective clause
dimulai dengan suatu kata yang disebut relative pronoun (who, whom, that, which, whose,
etc) yang berfungsi menjembatani hubungan dengan noun atau pronoun yang
diterangkannya.
Keterangan:
Complex Sentence:
17
Independent Clause + Adjective Clause

*Relative pronoun (who, which, that) dapat berfungsi sebagai subject jika tidak ada subject.

Object* Pembuktian:

coba substitusi dengan it (objective
personal pronoun)
Possessive whose
Pembuktian:
coba substitusi dengan his (possessive
18
personal pronoun)
Saat menerangkan subject, posisi adjective clause akan berada di tengah kalimat. Klausa tersebut
dapat diapit koma ataupun tidak, tergantung pada penting atau tidaknya informasi yang
dibawanya. Informasi tersebut dinilai penting (essential/restrictive) jika akan mengubah makna
kalimat jika dihilangkan. Pada situasi tersebut, koma tidak digunakan. Klausa yang membawa
informasi penting tersebut dinamakan defining clause. Sebaliknya, jika informasi tidak penting
(non-essential/non-restrictive) sehingga dapat dihilangkan tanpa merubah makna kalimat, maka
koma perlu digunakan. Klausa yang membawa informasi tidak penting tersebut dinamakan non-
defining clause.

7. ADJECTIVE ORDER
Adjective berfungsi untuk menerangkan noun. Biasanya posisi adjective di depan noun
yang diterangkannya (fungsi attributive). Ketika menerangkan noun, mungkin digunakan
lebih dari satu adjective.
20
Pada situasi ini, kita perlu menggunakan adjective order (urutan adjective dalam bahasa
Inggris berdasarkan kategori) untuk menempatkan setiap kata sifat tersebut pada posisi yang
tepat.
Tabel Adjective Order
Urutan Kategori Penjelasan Contoh
menyatakan seberapa tua atau muda suatu ancient, antique, new, old,
3 Age
kata benda young
Ketika menerangkan noun, dua adjective pada kategori yang sama dapat digunakan secara
bersamaan dengan tanda baca comma (dapat dipisahkan pula dengan coodinate conjunction
and atau but). Adapun tiga atau lebih adjective dari kategori yang sama pisahkan dengan
comma dan coordinate conjunction and atau or.
21
Contoh:
the small, important component (the small but important component)
a smart, talented, and communicative worker
Contoh Adjective Order
Beberapa contoh adjective order yang membentuk noun phrase adalah sebagai berikut:
Det. Opinion Size Age Shape Color Origin Material Purpose Noun
8. LINKING VERB
Linking verb adalah kata kerja penghubung (perantara) antara subjek dengan
Complementnya (predikat) yang fungsinya untuk memberikan identitas atau menggambarkan
subjek dari kalimat tersebut. Namun meskipun kata kerja, linking verb bukan merupakan
sebuah action atau tindakan nyata. Ia hanya sebuah kata kerja yang berfungsi untuk
menjelaskan keadaan dari subjek. Karena ia adalah berupa verb (kata kerja), maka dalam
praktik penggunaannya, linking verb harus menyesuaikan dengan bentuk subjeknya. Misal
subjeknya adalah orang pertama tunggal, maka linking verbnya harus berupa is atau jika verb
lainnya harus ditambahkan -s dibelakangnya.
22
Contoh: Royhan is handsome. Royhan adalah Subjek, sedangkan complementnya Royhan
adalah handsome, dan is hanyalah kata penghubung (Linking verb). Sehingga jika is
dihilangkan tetap kalimatnya tidak kehilangan makna. Tetap Rohyan handsome.
We also use it for something that was true but no longer is.
o There used to be a cinema in the town but now there isn't.
o She used to have really long hair but she's had it all cut off.
o I didn't use to like him but now I do.
23
'Used to do' is different from 'to be used to doing' and 'to get used to doing'
1. To be used to doing
We use 'to be used to doing' to say that something is normal, not unusual.
o I'm used to living on my own. I've done it for quite a long time.
o Hans has lived in England for over a year so he is used to driving on the left now.
o They've always lived in hot countries so they aren't used to the cold weather here.
