Teori dan contoh kalimat Active dan passive

Kalimat Active

 

       Active voice is sentences where the subject do the activity. Active voice used most of the time and used in a clause whose subject expresses the agent of the main verb. The Active voice is direct (performer-verb-receiver), vigourous, clear and concise. The reader knows who is responsible for the action. Example of sentences, "Andi do the homework". That means subject "Andi" doing the action to finish his "homework" as object.

Contoh Kalimat Active

 

1. Once a week,Beni cleans the house.

2. Tono repaired the car.

3. The salesman was helping the customer when the thief came into the store.

4. Many tourists have visited that castle.

5. Recently, John has been doing the work.

6. I write a letter.

7. He is buying a car.

8. I keep the butter in the fridge.

9. They stole the painting.

10.The executive committee approved the new policy

Kalimat Passive

        Passive voice is sentences where the subject get the action from the object. Passive voice used cause the object of active voice is more important for the information then the subject and used a form of the verb to be followed by a past participle and a by phrase. It is a sentences that the subject is not actor of an act, but it is the recipient of an action. If the by phrase is omitted, the reader will not directly know who or what performed in action. In passive voice, the target of the action gets promoted to the subject position. Example of the sentence, "The homework is done by Andi". That means the subject is not actor of an act, but the recipient of an action.

Genome Announcement a Milestone

      Mapping the human genome has been compared with putting a man on the moon, but I believe it is more than that, said Dr. Michael Dexter, the director of the Wellcome Trust, which funded the British part of the Human Genome Project.  

       The medical benefits of genome science, scientists agree, must be used to benefit all people, not only a privileged few. Individual privacy must be protected as science moves forward with the project, and the information must not be used to discriminate against any group or person.

    "This is the most important, most wondrous map ever produced by humankind," Clinton said in Washington. "Humankind is on the verge of gaining immense new power to heal. Genome science will revolutionize the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of most, if not all, human diseases."

      All the researchers involved praised the high level of international cooperation that enabled them to reach this stage, and they pledged to keep that momentum going.

Teori Subject - Verb Agreement

See the section on Plurals for additional help with subject-verb agreement

1. The indefinite pronouns anyone, everyone, someone, no one, nobody are always singular and, therefore, require singular verbs.
• Everyone has done his or her homework.
• Somebody has left her purse.

Some indefinite pronouns — such as all, some — are singular or plural depending on what they're referring to. (Is the thing referred to countable or not?) Be careful choosing a verb to accompany such pronouns.
• Some of the beads are missing.
• Some of the water is gone.

On the other hand, there is one indefinite pronoun, none, that can be either singular or plural; it often doesn't matter whether you use a singular or a plural verb — unless something else in the sentence determines its number. (Writers generally think of none as meaning not any and will choose a plural verb, as in "None of the engines are working," but when something else makes us regard none as meaning not one, we want a singular verb, as in "None of the food is fresh.")
• None of you claims responsibility for this incident?
• None of you claim responsibility for this incident?
• None of the students have done their homework. (In this last example, the word their precludes the use of the singular verb.

2. Some indefinite pronouns are particularly troublesome Everyone and everybody (listed above, also) certainly feel like more than one person and, therefore, students are sometimes tempted to use a plural verb with them. They are always singular, though. Each is often followed by a prepositional phrase ending in a plural word (Each of the cars), thus confusing the verb choice. Each, too, is always singular and requires a singular verb.

Everyone has finished his or her homework.

You would always say, "Everybody is here." This means that the word is singular and nothing will change that.

Each of the students is responsible for doing his or her work in the library.

Don't let the word "students" confuse you; the subject is each and each is always singular — Each is responsible.

3. Phrases such as together with, as well as, and along with are not the same as and. The phrase introduced by as well as or along with will modify the earlier word (mayor in this case), but it does not compound the subjects (as the word and would do).

• The mayor as well as his brothers is going to prison.

• The mayor and his brothers are going to jail.

4. The pronouns neither and either are singular and require singular verbs even though they seem to be referring, in a sense, to two things.

• Neither of the two traffic lights is working.

• Which shirt do you want for Christmas?

Either is fine with me.

5. The conjunction or does not conjoin (as and does): when nor or or is used the subject closer to the verb determines the number of the verb. Whether the subject comes before or after the verb doesn't matter; the proximity determines the number.

• Either my father or my brothers are going to sell the house.

• Neither my brothers nor my father is going to sell the house.

• Are either my brothers or my father responsible?

• Is either my father or my brothers responsible?

Because a sentence like "Neither my brothers nor my father is going to sell the house" sounds peculiar, it is probably a good idea to put the plural subject closer to the verb whenever that is possible.

6. The words there and here are never subjects.

• There are two reasons [plural subject] for this.

• There is no reason for this.

• Here are two apples.

With these constructions (called expletive constructions), the subject follows the verb but still determines the number of the verb.

7. Sometimes nouns take weird forms and can fool us into thinking they're plural when they're really singular and vice-versa. Consult the section on the Plural Forms of Nouns and the section on Collective Nouns for additional help. Words such as glasses, pants, pliers, and scissors are regarded as plural (and require plural verbs) unless they're preceded the phrase pair of (in which case the word pair becomes the subject).

• My glasses were on the bed.

• My pants were torn.

• A pair of plaid trousers is in the closet.

8. Some words end in -s and appear to be plural but are really singular and require singular verbs.

• The news from the front is bad.

• Measles is a dangerous disease for pregnant women.

On the other hand, some words ending in -s refer to a single thing but are nonetheless plural and require a plural verb.

• My assets were wiped out in the depression.

• The average worker's earnings have gone up dramatically.

• Our thanks go to the workers who supported the union.

The names of sports teams that do not end in "s" will take a plural verb: the Miami Heat have been looking … , The Connecticut Sun are hoping that new talent … . See the section on plurals for help with this problem.
