Preface
Passive dan active adalah dua grammatical voice dalam tata bahasa Inggris.
Pada passive voice, subjek kalimat adalah patient (penderita) yang menerima aksi yang dinyatakan oleh kata kerja.
Konstruksi umum passive voice adalah:
Subject + be + past participle (v₃)
Contoh: The book is read ~ Buku dibaca.
Dalam active voice, subjek kalimat adalah agent (pelaku) aksi.
Konstruksi umum passive voice adalah:
Subject + verb + object
Contoh: I read the book ~ Saya membaca buku.
ーーーーーーーーーーーー
Explication
Cars have been produced by the company since the beginning of the century.
- Cars → patient
- The company → agent
- Have been produced → verb in the present perfect tense
Jika kalimat passive di atas diubah ke kalimat active dengan tense yang sama (present perfect), maka kalimatnya menjadi:
The company has produced cars since the beginning of the century.
Tapi, jika dibuat dalam present perfect, kalimat tersebut secara semantik berarti perusahaan (company) sudah tidak lagi membuat mobil. Sedangkan dari kalimat pasif "mobil telah dibuat oleh perusahaan sejak awal abad" dapat diartikan perusahaan masih membuat mobil sampai sekarang. Jadi, sebaiknya kita gunakan present perfect continuous (have/has been v-ing) untuk kalimat active-nya.
Jadi, kalimat active yang lebih tepat adalah:
The company has been producing cars since the beginning of the century.
Ingat, perfect continuous (present, past, ataupun future) dan future continuous tidak/jarang dibuat dalam bentuk pasif karena karena canggung (akward).
