Hai Arka! Kakak bantu jawab, ya.

Jawaban yang tepat untuk pertanyaan tersebut adalah "Yes, I do. There are modal verbs written in passive voice: must be disclosed, can be stored, and can be turned." ("Iya. Terdapat modal verbs yang ditulis dengan passive voice: must be dispossed, can be stored, and can be turned.")

Yuk, kita bahas!

Soal tersebut menanyakan apakah terdapat passive voice lainnya yang tidak ditulis dengan Simple Present & Past Tense pada kalimat V.

Pola kalimat V adalah modalitas (modal verb) Hal ini dapat diketahui dari frasa "must be dispossed, can be stored, can be turned" yang secara berturut-turut menunjukkan kewajiban serta kemampuan. Akan tetapi, penulisan modal tersebut adalah passive voice. Hal ini dikarenakan frasa tersebut diikuti dengan be + V3. Secara berturut-turut, artinya adalah "harus dibuang, bisa disimpan, bisa dibalik".

Jadi, memang terdapat passive voice lainnya yang tidak ditulis dengan Simple Present & Past Tense pada kalimat V.

Dengan demikian, jawabannya adalah "Yes, I do. There are modal verbs written in passive voice: must be disclosed, can be stored, and can be turned."
