9th Graders: Passive voice (Part one)

     Assalamualaikum, dear 9^th graders? …

How’s life today? … . I hope you all fine😀.

Let’s start our activity today with saying Bismillahirrohmanirrohim first.

Today’s session is Passive voice (kalimat pasif)😎.

Let’s take a look a read for a while, dears!

Have you ever eat satay, dears? ... . I’m sure you all have tasted that food.  It tastes good, right? Satay is made of chicken, beef, or lamb. ‘Sate ayam’ is made of chicken meat and it is served with peanut and soy sauce. ‘Sate kambing’ is made of beef meat and it is served with soy sauce mixed with union and tomatoes.

Pernahkah kalian makan Sate? … . Saya yakin kalian pernah mencicipi makanan tersebut. Rasanya enak, kan? Sate dibuat dari ayam, daging kambing atau sapi. Sate ayam dibuat dari daging ayam dan disajikan bersama saus kacang dan kecap. Sate kambing dibuat dari daging kambing dan disajikan bersama kecap dan bawang dan tomat.

Now, check these statements!

1.      Satay is made of chicken, beef, or lamb.

2.      ‘Sate ayam’ is made of chicken meat.

3.      It is served with peanut and soy sauce.

4.      ‘Sate kambing’ is made of beef meat.

5.      It is served with soy sauce mixed with union and tomatoes.

Let’s make it simple, dears! Most passive voice sentences have common pattern with:

“be + Verb 3”. 

-          is (be)

-          made (V3)

-          served (V3)

Let’s practice, dears! These sentences are not completed yet. Fill them with the correct words but you must change the words into past participle (Verb 3) first. Number one has done as an example for you. Remember the ‘be pattern’ is depended on the subject pronoun in the sentence.

1.      Pempek (make) of fish and tapioca starch.

Pempek is made of fish and tapioca starch.

 

2.      Some Kerupuk (fry) in very hot sand.

…

3.       The soup (cook) with some special recipe.

…

4.      Angklung (know) as traditional musical instrument from West Java.

…

5.      The flowers on the table (use) to decorate the room.

…

6.      The umbrella (carry) to anticipate the weather today.

…

    Well, dears! Can you make it? It’s easy, isn’t? Just ask me if you have a question🙋. 

I'll be glad to answer that😄. See you later on the next chap... .
