Jawaban:

More than 40 fire fighters were called to the 138-year-old tea clipper ship in Greenwich early on Monday morning. The ship recently was closed to visitors so improvements costing £25 million could be carried out. A spokesman for the London fire service said the whole ship was affectedby the massive fire but nobodywas hurt. Police don't know what caused the fire yet, but said they were treating it as suspicious. That means the fire may be started on purpose rather than by accident. Chris Livett, from the group which looks after the ship, said the fire was a significant setback but they were determined to put the ship back together again. He said the decks could not be saved but the damage didn't appear as bad as first feared. Half the planking, as well as all the old artefacts on board, escaped damage as they were removed while the refurbishment work was under way. He added: "She's been through storms and hurricanes. She's been battling all her life. She's not dead yet, far from it." The Cutty Sark was used to carry tea around the world in the 19th century. It now sits at a dry dock at Greenwich as a living museum.

Penjelasan:

Untuk menjawab soal tersebut, perlu diperhatikan:

- tense kalimat, bisa dideteksi dari bagian lain kalimat atau penggunaan kata keterangan waktu (adverb of time).

- penggunaan to be + verb ke-3 ataumodal + be + verb ke-3

jadi kalau menggunakan modal misalnya may maka dalam bentuk pasifnya gunakan may be + verb ke-3.

Contoh di soal ada (could) carry out, maka bentuk pasif nya adalah could be carried out (carry itu v1, carried itu v3).

Kalau tanpa modal, maka gunakan to be + verb 3, sesuai tense dan sesuai subjeknya apakah tunggal atau jamak.
