Jawaban dan Penjelasan

Berikut ini adalah pilihan jawaban terbaik dari pertanyaan diatas.

PASSIVE VOICE

Three persons have been arrested by the policemen for committing a theft.

EXPLANATION

Passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the recipient of the verb and the action rather than the doer of action (Agent).

The steps how to change the active voice to the passive voice are :

~ the object of active-voice sentence is moved to the subject of passive-voice sentence. Meanwhile, the subject of active voice is moved to the object of passive voice accompanied with the "by" preposition. The agent is sometimes omitted if it doesn't refer to the specific person (someone, somebody).

~ all of the verbs are changed into the past participle (V³).

BASED ON YOUR QUESTION

PRESENT PERFECT

A : S+has/have+verb³+O
