State the characteristics of active and passive sentences
Answer:
Characteristic features sentence active:
- The subject in the active sentence is the one who performs the action. Example:
- mother make cake (subject=Mom doing action=making)
- Word do his work in the library (subject=Word does action=do)
- Dirham play piano in the living room (subject=Dirham doing action=playing)
- Predicate elements are usually given the suffix me-, or ber-. Example:
- sister ride bicycle (predicate has the suffix me-)
- Aldi drink That water (predicate affixed to me-)
- Ani tells a story in front of her friends (predicate affixed with ber-)
- Has an S-P-O or S-P-O-K pattern. Example:
- Dad brings gifts (S-P-O pattern)
- My sister buys fruit at the market (S-P-O-K pattern)
Passive sentence characteristics:
- The subject of the passive voice is the one who is given the job. Example:
- Cake made by Mother (subject=Cookies are subject to work/deeds=made)
- The task done Words in the library (subject=the assignment is assigned to work=to be done)
- Piano played Dirhams in the living room (subject = piano work = played)
- Predicate elements are usually given the suffix di-, ter-, ke-an, or ter-kan. Example:
- Bike ride Sister (predicate affixed in-)
- That water drink by Aldi (predicate affixed ter-)
- The struggle now neglected (predicate affixed)
- We fatigue waiting for it (predicate affixed to-an)
- The object in the passive voice is the subject in the active sentence. Example:
- Souvenirs brought Father
- Fruit bought sister in the market
- It is usually indicated by the presence of word by, although the word by when omitted does not change the meaning of the sentence. Example:
- Television watched by Grandpa
- The vegetables were picked by Mother
