In English, there are two kinds of
sentence; active and passive. What makes them different is, in active voice
something that do an action is a subject, and something that receive an
action is object. Meanwhile, in passive voice, something that receive an
action is subject, and something that do an action (it can be written or
not) is written near the end of sentence. In every tensis, they also have
different pattern, and to make it easy, I write it on table:
|
TENSE
|

|

|
|

|
S
+ V1 + O
|

|
|

|
S

|
|

|
S

|
S

|
|
Example:
Jane will sweep the floor. Jane is going to sweep the floor. |
Example:
The floor will be swept by Jane. The floor is going to be swept by Jane. |
|
|
Modals
(Can, may, might, should, must, ought to) |
S + modals +
V1 + O
|
S + modals + be + V3 + by phrase
|
|
Example:
Jane can sweep the floor Jane may sweep the floor Jane might sweep the floor Jane should sweep the floor Jane must sweep the floor Jane ought to sweep the floor |
Example:
The floor can be swept by Jane The floor may be swept by Jane The floor might be swept by Jane The floor should be swept by Jane The floor must be swept by Jane The floor ought to be swept by Jane |
Nah, if you already understand about
this matery, let’s test your skill by doing this exercise:
Change this
sentence into passive voice!
1. Mr. Hopkins invited me to dinner.
2. Water surrounds an island.
3. A maid will clean our hotel room.
4. A doctor has examined the sick
child.
5. The news had surprised John.
6. She is drinking water.
7. Sue can buy that car.
8. The children were writing the
letters.
Change this
sentence into active voice!
1. My watch is going to be fixed by
the jeweler.
2. Many people are employed by that
company.
3. Sue has been hired by that
company.
4. My old car was bought by her.
5. The windows had been washed by
Mr. Fox.
6. That car can be bought by him.
From this matery, we can conclude
that in English—as I said before—there are two kinds of sentence; active and
voice. In active, the subject is something that do the action, and in passive,
the subject is something that receive the action. We can easily differentiate
them by looking at the end of sentence. If there is a “by phrase” so it must be
a passive voice.

Hallo!
Today, im gonna write some grammar
study that im sure most of u have known or learnt about this. Yep! Conditional
Sentence. It is sentence that talked about supposition, real or not.
We usually know the word if as the kind of conditional sentence, but not
only that actually, there’s also wish that can use for this kind of sentence. So, in
this post, we will learn about two materies; wish and if.
Now first, let’s learn about wish.
WISH
Betty Azar said that people often
make wishes when they want reality to be different, to be exactly the opposite
of (contrary to) the true situation. So, to make this kind of sentence, the
word wish can express a supposition about present/future and about
past. To make it simple, lets look at the table:
WISH
|
EXPLANATION
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
The True
Situation
|
The Wish
Expression
|
||
Present/future
|
In this type, you can express a situation using past verb form.
So the pattern is:
s+wish/wishes+s+verb 2+o. |
1. I don’t know the truth
2. She has to go now
3. I’m not the only one
|
1. I wish I knew the truth
2. She wishes she didn’t have to go now
3. I wish I were* the only one
|
Past
|
When you make wishes about past situation, you have to use past
perfect. So the pattern is:
s+wish/wishes+s+past perfect+o. |
1. He didn’t help her
2. I didn’t go to campus
3. She bought many
books |
1. He wishes he had helped her
2. I wish I had gone to campus
3. She wishes she hadn’t bought many books
|
*were is used for all
subjects.
Nah, if you already understand about
this first matery, let’s test your skill by doing this exercise:
THE TRUE
SITUATION
|
MAKING WISH
|
John didn’t call me last night
|
...............................................................................
|
Ann wasn’t at the class yesterday
|
.............................................................................
|
You doesn’t understand my problem
|
.............................................................................
|
I spent all of my money yesterday
|
.............................................................................
|
He didn’t finish high school
|
.............................................................................
|
Now let's move on to the second matery.
IF CONDITIONAL SENTENCE
There are three kinds of if
conditional sentence; conditional type I, conditional type II, and
conditional type III (it will be explain on the table).
In if conditional sentence,
there are two clauses; if clause and main clause. Example:
If I were there, I would help you.
if clause main clause
if clause main clause
The if clause is usually
written first, so you have use comma before main clause, and it
will be like the previous example. We also can write the main clause first,
and we don’t need to use a comma, example:
I would help
you if I were there.
main clause if clause
main clause if clause
The explanation of the three type of
if conditional sentence:
TYPE
|
EXPLANATION
|
IF CLAUSE
|
MAIN CLAUSE
|
EXAMPLE
|
I
|
The if clause still realistic, so the situation is still
possible to come, and there is no fact.
|
Simple present
|
Will/can+V1
|
If she has enough money, she can go to London.
|
II
|
It is usually used to talk about the situations that are the
opposite of the real situations. It’s unreal in the present or future. The
fact situation is in present tense form.
|
Simple past
|
Would/could+V1
|
If I were you, I wouldn’t do this.
|
III
|
It is likely about the regret of what happened in the past. The
fact situation is in past tense.
|
Past perfect
|
Would have/could have+V3
|
If I had had a chance, I would have made you happy.
|
Except a positive form, there is
also a negative form of conditional sentence, right? And instead of write the if+not
form, we also can use unless. Example:
Unless I study
hard, I will not get the best score.
Now, let’s do the last exercise:
1. Unless I had enough time, I (go, not)
………………………… to the park.
2. If she buys a car, she (drive)
………………………… to Springfield next month.
3. You could have seen my boyfriend
if you (come) ………………………… to my party.
4. I can go for a five-mile walk if
the weather (be) ………………………… good.
5. If I knew how to swim, I (go)
………………………… to the beach with you.
HOPE IT HELPS! :)

Kalau diliat-liat, sekarang ini tuh minat baca buku di Indonesia kayaknya meningkat, ya? Apa aku aja yang kemaren-kemaren nggak merhatiin? Nah, berhubung aku ini bookworm, alias doyan banget baca, haha, aku mau kasih rekomendasi buat kalian yang suka novel thriller tapi yang masih ringan buat dibaca.
Judulnya OMEN, apaan tuh omen? Tenang, ini bukan novel tentang tikusnya si Dono di Warkop DKI kok, haha. Omen itu artinya pertanda buruk. Omen ini serial novel yang ditulis oleh Lexie Xu, orang Indonesia loh ya! Jadi, di serial Omen ini, ada 7 novel, tapi percaya deh, kalo kalian udah baca satu novel, rasanya nggak rela buat berenti, terus di kuping tuh kayak ada bisikan mbak-mbak Gramed, "ayo beli lagi yang kedua, ketiga, semuanya sampe lengkap!" HAHAHA
Novel pertama di serial ini berjudul Omen, selanjutnya ada 7 Lukisan Horor, Misteri Organisasi Rahasia The Judges, Malam Karnaval Berdarah, Kutukan Hantu Opera, Sang Pengkhianat, dan Target Terakhir.
Novel-novel ini bercerita tentang Erika, si cewek tomboy preman sekolah yang bersama teman-temannya melewati berbagai macam kasus yang sadis banget, dan kadang bikin mual. Contohnya ada korban yang dilukain, abis itu didandanin kayak badut serem gitu. Terus ada juga siswa yang notabene-nya pemain bola nomor satu di sekolah, dilukai dengan cara lututnya dipaku sampe berdarah-darah. Ada juga yang diiket dan matanya dijahit sampai rapat. Pokoknya sadis!
Kasus-kasus itu tentunya terjadi bukan tanpa alasang, dong? Jadi, sebenarnya ada masalah internal di salah satu "jagoan" di novel ini. Si jagoan sebenarnya nggak tau dan nggak sadar atas apa yang terjadi sebenernya. Yah, ada "musuh di balik kayar" yang sengaja merancang semua kejadian sadis dengan tujuan tertentu. Walaupun genrenya thriller, tapi novel ini masih ringan buat dibaca, kok! Masih ada cinta-cintaannya, tokoh charming yang too perfect, juga tentang kehidupan anak SMA yang kelewat serem, haha.
Hebatnya, si penulis selalu ngegantungin cerita di akhir, bikin penasaran. Yah, biar gitu juga novelnya nagih, kok, bikin pengen baca terus. Coba dibaca deh novelnya, seru, beneran, aku nggak pernah bohong anaknya. Yuk dibaca!

I looked at my husband’s sleepy face. He was really tired and I didn’t wanna woke him up. I looked closer and smiled.
I really loved him since the first time we met. He cheated on me several times, I still gave him a chance tho. I really loved him until I wanna be with him forever, for the rest of our life. I really loved him until I couldn’t accept another women in his life.
I touched his face slowly then kissed his lips. Oh! He woke up!
“I’m sorry, Baby.” I said.
He smiled at me and kissed me back.
“What’s wrong, Baby?” He asked, and again, he smiled.
“Nothing. I just love you too much.” I hugged him tight.
“I love you too, Eva!” Then I hug him tighter and choked him until he couldn’t breath.
Then I whispered, “my name is Emma!”
