Kalimat transformasi yang benar untuk poin 3 adalah ...
Soal di atas meminta kita merubah/mentransformasi kalimat aktif menjadi kalimat pasif (Passive Voice). Transformasi adalah merubah bentuk kalimat dengan komponen subject, verb, dan object yang sama namun dengan bentuk kalimat berbeda (kalimat negatif/tanya/pasif, dan sebagainya).
Passive Voice memiliki formula umum: to be + Verb-3. Fungsinya adalah memberi penekanan pada kalimat atas objek yang dikenai tindakan dan bukan subjek yang melakukan tindakan. Namun penerapannya mengikuti aturan masing-masing Tenses.
Poin 3 merupakan kalimat aktif Simple Present, maka yang digunakan adalah:
Formula Passive Voice untuk Simple Present
- Positive → O + am/is/are + Verb-3 + (by + S)
- Negative → O + am/is/are + not + Verb-3 + (by + S)
- Yes/No Question → Am/is/are + O + Verb-3 + (by + S)?
- WH-word Question → WH-word + Am/is/are + O + Verb-3 + (by + S)?
Catatan penggunaan to be is/am/are:
- am → I
- is → he, she, it, objek tunggal
- are → you, they, we, objek jamak
Kalimat aktif pada poin 3 adalah: Uncle John washes his car in the afternoon.
- Uncle John → S
- washes → Verb-1
- his car → O
- in the afternoon → Complement (keterangan)
Maka jika dirubah sesuai formula kalimat positif Passive Voice: O + am/is/are + Verb-3 + (by + S)
- O → His/Uncle John's car
- to be → is (karena objek tunggal 'car')
- Verb- 3 'washes' → washed
- by + S → by Uncle John/him. Pronoun "him" digunakan untuk menggantikan kata Uncle John.
Subject Pronoun berubah menjadi Object Pronoun dalam Passive Voice.
- I → me
- You → you
- We → us
- They → them
- He → him
- She → her
- It → it
Maka kalimatnya akan menjadi: Uncle John's car is washed by him in the afternoon.
Jadi, kalimat transformasi yang benar untuk poin 3 adalah, "Uncle John's car is washed by him in the afternoon."
