B. KETENTUAN
- Being hanya terdapat pada tenses present continuous dan past continuous. Tenses continuous yang lain tidak menggunakan being dalam polanya.
- Kalimat yang dapat dipasifkan hanyalah kalimat yang memiliki objek (transitif).
Contoh:
He left his family: bisa dipasifkan karena berobjek (his family)
He left this morning: tidak bisa dipasifkan karena tidak berobjek (this morning adalah adverb) - Objek di kalimat aktif (active voice) menjadi subjek di kalimat pasif (passive voice).
Contoh:
AV: Robert is washing the car in the backyard.
PV: The car is being washed by Robert in the backyard. - Subjek kalimat pasif tersebut menentukan jenis verb yang digunakan, apakah tunggal atau jamak.
Contoh:
AV: Robert is washing the cars in the backyard.
PV: The cars are being washed by Robert in the backyard. - By + agent (pelaku) tidak selalu muncul dalam passive voice, utamanya jika pelaku tidak jelas, tidak penting (untuk disebutkan), atau telah dikenal luas.
Contoh:
AV: Someone took my book yesterday.
PV: My book was taken (by someone: dihilangkan) yesterday.
