In English, Passive = be + V3
The
tense of “be” tells us when the
action happens:
E: “This bookstore was built
in 1980 and it was renovated in 1990
Toko buku ini dibangun tahun 1980 dan direnovasi tahun 1990
but it will be demolished
in 2005.”
tetapi akan dibongkar tahun 2005.
J: “Why will it be demolished?”
Mengapa akan dibongkar, Pak?
E: “Because a big bank will be built here.”
Karena sebuah bank besar akan dibangun di sini.
J: “Then, where will the
bookstore be moved?”
Lalu toko buku itu akan dipindahkan ke mana?
E: “It will be moved to
Solo Street"
Toko buku itu akan dipindahkan ke Jalan Solo.
