Tugas 2 bahasa inggris bisnis Active passive sentences

Active passive sentences 1.

Active voice

In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb.

These examples show that the subject is doing the verb's action.

Because the subject does or "acts upon" the verb in such sentences, the sentences are said to be in the active voice.

To change a sentence from active to passive voice, do the following:

1. Move the active sentence's direct object into the sentence's subject slot

Active Form
In active sentences, the thing doing the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing receiving the action is the object. Most sentences are active.

[Thing doing action] + [verb] + [thing receiving action]

Examples:

The professor teaches the student.

rumus : Present continous tense :

-Active => is/am/are + verb ing

-Active => will + verb 1

-Active => has/have + been + verb ing

-Active => had + verb 3

example :

Active

- dudi washes the car everyday

- they are lifting the stones

- I will buy a bag

- we sold the car last month

- they have painted their house blue

- she had posted the letter before she came here

- she has been reading a book for 5 house

- mirna writes a letter for her brother every month

- the doctor is examining the patient at the moment

- the rich man will sell his luxurious house to pay for his debt

Passive voice

One can change the normal word order of many active sentences (those with a direct object) so that the subject is no longer active, but is, instead, being acted upon by the verb - or passive.

Note in these examples how the subject-verb relationship has changed.

Because the subject is being "acted upon" (or is passive), such sentences are said to be in the passive voice.

NOTE: Colorful parrots live in the rainforests cannot be changed to passive voice because the sentence does not have a direct object.

Passive

example :


- the car is washed by dudi everyday

subjects and verbs

tugas bahasa inggris bisnis 2

Subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural). Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plura

In present tenses, nouns and verbs form plurals in opposite ways:

nouns ADD an s to the singular form,

BUT

verbs REMOVE an s from the singular form.

Here are nine subject-verb agreement rules.

1. A phrase or clause between subject and verb does not change the number of the subject.

Examples:

2. Indefinite pronouns as subjects

• Singular indefinite pronoun subjects take singular verbs.

• Plural indefinite pronoun subjects take plural verbs.

PLURAL: several, few, both, many

• Some indefinite pronouns may be either singular or plural: with uncountable, use singular; with countable, use plural.

EITHER SINGULAR OR PLURAL: some, any, none, all, most

Sugar is uncountable; therefore, the sentence has a singular verb.

Marbles are countable; therefore, the sentence has a plural verb.

3. Compound subjects joined by and are always plural.

4. With compound subjects joined by or/nor, the verb agrees with the subject nearer to it.

In the above example, the plural verb are agrees with the nearer subject actors.

In this example, the singular verb is agrees with the nearer subject director

5. Inverted Subjects must agree with the verb.

6. Collective Nouns

(group, jury, crowd, team, etc.) may be singular or plural, depending on

meaning

In this example, the jury is acting as one unit; therefore, the verb is singular.

In this example, the jury members are acting as twelve individuals; therefore, the verb is plural.

7. Titles of single entities (books, organizations, countries, etc.) are always singular.

8. Plural form subjects

• Plural form subjects with a singular meaning take a singular verb. (e.g. news, measles, mumps, physics, etc.)
• 

Plural form subjects with singular or plural meaning take a singular or plural verb, depending on meaning. (e.g. politics, economics, etc.)

In this example, politics is a single topic; therefore, the sentence has a singular verb.

In this example, politics refers to the many aspects of the situation; therefore, the sentence has a plural verb.

• Plural form subjects with a plural meaning take a plural verb. (e.g. scissors, trousers)

In this example, politics refers to the many aspects of the situation; therefore, the sentence has a plural verb.

• Plural form subjects with a plural meaning take a plural verb. (e.g. scissors, trousers)

Note: In this example, the subject of the sentence is pair; therefore, the verb must agree with it. (Because scissors is the object of the preposition, scissors does not affect the number of the verb.)

9. With subject and subjective complement of different number, the verb always agrees with the subjec
