Menggunakan Present Perfect dalam Bentuk Pasif
Kita sudah melihat contoh-contohnya ketika berbentuk aktif, yaitu ketika subjek digambarkan sedang melakukan suatu tindakan. Ketika kita menggunakan bentuk pasif, kita berfokus pada apa atau siapa yang menerima tindakan.
Kita bisa menggunakan bentuk pasif hampir dalam semua tenses dengan cara menambahkan verb “to be” sebelum kata kerja. Contohnya, dalam present simple:
- Bentuk aktif: People collect the goods.
- Bentuk pasif: The goods are collected.
Pada bentuk past simple, kalimat tersebut menjadi:
- Bentuk aktif: People collected the goods yesterday.
- Bentuk pasif: The goods were collected yesterday.
Apabila diperlukan, kita bisa mengekspresikan hal yang sama dengan present perfect:
- Bentuk aktif: People have collected the goods.
- Bentuk pasif: The goods have been collected.
Penggunaan tense ini dalam bentuk pasif sebenarnya sama tujuannya dengan bentuk aktif, yaitu untuk mengekspresikan sesuatu yang baru saja terjadi, membicarakan pengalaman hidup, serta membicarakan tindakan-tindakan yang baru dilakukan.
Dalam bentuk pasif dari present perfect, kita selalu gunakan has/have been + V3. Berikut ini ada beberapa contohnya:
- The interns have been trained.
- The proposals have been written.
- Have the applicants been interviewed?
- The applications haven’t been checked yet.
- Has he been introduced to the new manager?
- He’s been taken to see the president.
- Sara has been promoted three times.
Demikian Rumus Present Perfect Tense.
