Pengecualian pada beberapa kata kerja transitif
Beberapa kata kerja transitif dalam bahasa Inggris ternyata tidak bisa diubah ke dalam
bentukpassive voice lho. Kata kerja transitif seperti have, look, like, become, mean dan
beberapa kata kerja transitif lainnya akan terasa aneh bila diubah ke dalam bentuk passive
voice. Misalnya :
The candy contains aspartame.
tidak dapat dipasifkan menjadi : Aspartame is contained by the candy.
