Keep Looking Rainbow

Keep Looking Rainbow

Rainbow

I like to see you

Although you make me feel ashamed

Cause you remind the memory of the past

Someone who used to hug me

I am an admirer of your color

You dance in the sky

I enjoy the flavors you bring

Giving god as consolation

(Also read : Father Inspires Life Lesson)

You arise after the sky drizzles

Drizzling in your charms

As if the world stopped

So I can enjoy your colors

(Also read other article at : Valuable Learning From Sacrifice)

You come when it rains

To complement the existing loneliness

And you leave when the rain stops

To accompany his loneliness

(Also read other article at : Contoh Soal Auxiliary Modal Will)

While I want to keep looking

Is there a little time?

To feel the joy for a moment?

The Pattern of Passive and Active Voice

The Pattern of Passive and Active Voice

When we talk about the passive voice, there is no doubt we will also talk about the active voice. So below we will share about active and passive voice. (Also read : Reported or Indirect and Direct Speech)

The use of Active and Passive Voice

We use the active form to say what the subject does. For example:

I speak English every day at work.
I repaired the flat tire on the car.

We use the passive form to say what happens to people and things, to say what is done to them. For example:

English is spoken here.
The car is being repaired.

We use the passive form when we don’t know who did the action. For example:

The car was damaged while it was parked on the street.
The shirts were made in Turkey.

We use the passive form when what was done is more important than who did it. For example:

It was approved by Gerry last week.
I was informed by the Human Resources Manager only two days ago. (Also read other article at : Jenis Kata Tanya Bahasa Inggris)
