TOEFL Listening: Part A (Passive Voice)

Passive Voice

Skill 5: Passive Statements (Menguasai Strategi Konversi Aktif-Pasif)

💡 Strategi Utama: Membalik Logika Kalimat Pembicara Kedua

Dalam percakapan pendek Part A, ketika pembicara kedua menggunakan kalimat pasif (di- / ter-), maka jawaban yang benar di lembar soal sering kali berupa kalimat aktif (me- / ber-). Tugas Anda adalah fokus mendeteksi siapa yang melakukan tindakan tersebut.

📋 Rumus Konversi Logika Pasif ke Aktif:

• Jika Anda mendengar struktur pasif: Benda + to be + Verb 3 + oleh Seseorang
• Maka carilah pilihan jawaban berupa: Seseorang + Verb biasa + Benda

Opsi C adalah bentuk *restatement* aktif yang sempurna.
