Skill
5: Past Participle
Sebelumnya,
telah dibahas tentang skill 4 pada structure
question yaitu tentang penggunaan dan posisi Present Participle. Skill 5 membahas tentang penggunaan dan
posisi Past Participle yang berbentuk passive voice (di ...). Past
Participle sering berakhiran -ed, tapi perlu diketahui bahwa banyak bentuk past
participle yang irregular (tidak beraturan). Banyak kata kerja termasuk
yang berkhiran -ed dapat meembingungkan apakah verb itu simple past atau past
participle.
1. She
painted this picture. (simple past)
2. She
has painted this picture. (past
participle)
3. The
picture painted by Karen is now in a museum (adjective)
Past participle yaitu Verb
III: purchased, written, taught,dll. Bentuk present
participle dapat menjadi pengecoh dalam soal tes Structure
TOEFL. Past participle bisa saja menjadi adjective (kata
sifat) yang umunya menjelaskan subjek layaknya appositive atau
menjadi bagian dari kata keja (verb) ketika di dahului oleh be (am, is,
are, was, were) dan have (have, has, had)
1. The
family has purchased a television.
Past participle
'purchased' merupakan bagian dari kata kerja
karena di dahului oleh have (has).
2. The
poem was written by Paul.
Past participle
'written' juga merupakan bagian dari kata kerja karena
di dahului oleh be (was).
3. The
television purchased yesterday was expensive.
Past participle
‘purchased’ tidak diikuti oleh be atau pun have maka merupakan bentuk adjective yang menjelaskan
masing-masing subjek dari kalimat yaitu television.
Contoh
soal TOEFL terkait Past Participle
The packages
_____ mailed at the post office will arrive Monday.
a) have
b) were
c) them
d) just
Jika di lihat
sekilas atau hanya awal kalimatnya saja bisa-bisa kita terkecoh dengan
menganggap mailed itu sebagai verb dari kalimat
padahal kalau kita lihat kalimatnya selengkapnya maka kita lihat
ada verb di sana yaitu will arrive. Jadi dapat kita ketahui
bahwa mailed itu bukanlah bagian dari verb melainkan
sebagai adjective. Olehnya jawaban a) havedan d) were tidak
dibutuhkan oleh mailed -yang berfungsi sebagai adjective. Jawaban c) them
(objek tidaklah dibutuhkan. Jadi jawaban paling tepat yaitu d) just
(adverb).
