PART : PASSIVE VOICE

__________

ANSWER :

No, we can't change the sentence "i went to the beach last week" into passive form because this sentence contains intransitive verb , the verb "went" doesn't need an object. Passive voice can change active voice if the sentence contains transitive verb and the object .

Let's analyse parts of speech !

The word "I" as the subject

The word "went" as the verb ( past tense form )

The word "to" as the preposition ( to connect other parts of speech)

The word "the beach" as the adverb of place ( it explains its verb "where did you go")

The word "last week" as the adverb of time ( it explains its verb "when did you go" )

According to the analysis , we can't find the object . The function of an object as the person/ thing receives the action from the doer action or we can say "What did you do"  but we can't find it because the verb "went" as the independent phrase, it doesn't need an object to explain clearly. We have already known that the verb "went" is clear enough, it means we move/ step away from one place to another place.

On the other hand, Passive voice requires an object ( person/thing receives the action)  to be focused on rather than the subject ( the doer of action ). This pattern as the main identification of passive voice.

Not all the active sentences can be changed into passive voice, we need to know what the object is. We can't change the active sentence into passive sentence if the sentence doesn't contain the object or contains the intransitive verbs , such as go, sleep, occur, happen .

EXPLANATION :

PASSIVE VOICE

• Passive voice is focused on the object and the action rather than the doer of the action. When we want to change the active voice to the passive voice, keep in mind that we must put the object at the beginning of sentence as well as the action. Meanwhile, the doer of the action will be the agent in the passive voice.

• Harap diperhatikan baik-baik, bahwa tidak semua kata kerja yang terlampir dalam kalimat aktif bisa dirubah ke dalam bentuk Passive. Pastikan bahwa kalimat aktif tersebut termasuk transitive verb ( dimana kata kerjanya memerlukan obyek untuk memperjelas informasi ). Passive voice tidak bisa merubah kata kerja tanpa obyek ( Intransitive verb ).  Contoh : Go, sleep, occur, happen .

Dalam perububahan dari kalimat aktif ke passive, obyek kalimat aktif akan diposisikan sebagai Subyek dalam kalimat pasif. Sedangkan Subyek kalimat aktif akan diposisikan sebagai obyek preposisi ( Agent ). Passive voice mengikuti bentuk tenses dan tidak merubah arti sebenarnya dari kalimat aktif.

Harap diperhatikan pronoun nya ( kata ganti orang ). Pronoun akan berubah berdasarkan posisi kelas kata ( parts of speech ) dalam kalimat pasif.
