Discussion
1. Understanding Passive Voice
Passive voice (passive sentence) is a sentence whose subject is subject to work. In
Indonesian this phrase uses a verb that begins with di (sold, called, written, etc.).
Passive voice is a grammatical construction (grammatical form) where the subject
of the sentence does not take action, but receives action or is acted upon by the other agent
(doer of action) whether mentioned or not. Conversely, in active construction, the subject is
directly related to the verb by acting as an actor. Active sentences can be transformed into
passive, but only transitive verbs (followed by direct objects) can be applied as such.

2. Formula Passive Voice

Passive voice formulas are as follows below.
S + Auxiliary + Past Participle
Note:
Auxiliary verbs can be primary auxiliary verb be (is, are, am, was, were, be, been, being), a
combination of two primary (is / are being, was / has being, has / have been) or between
primary and auxiliary verb capital (will be, will have been); while the past participle used is a
transitive verb.
Example:
• She can not drive a car. (active voice, transitive).
• He always come on time. (active voice, intransitive)

3. Use Of Passive Voice And Example

Passive sentences are generally used in the following conditions:
A. When the doer of action My money has been stolen.
is not known.  
In this passive voice
example, the speaker does
not know who stole his
wallet.
B. When the doer of action Wheat is grown in
 is clear and does not need
to be mentioned
C. When not wanting to tell
who the doer of action
(doer of action)
Karawang.
In this example, it is clear
that farmers are actors or
people who grow wheat
Mistakes were made.
In this example, the
speaker will not tell who
made the mistake.

D. When the doer of action Transjakarta is used as an

is all people (people in
general)
E. When the actor has been
mentioned in the previous
sentence (if contained in a
paragraph)
alternative means of
transportation to avoid
clock traffic.
In this example, the actors
are everyone because
Transjakarta can be used
by the public at large.
Mr. Han caught Ari
cheating on the test. Ari
was given punishment
immediately. In this
passive voice example, Mr.
Han as an actor has been
mentioned before so no
need to be added to the
second sentence.

A. Action Actors in Passive Voice

Under some conditions the use of passive voice, by-phrase is not used for some reasons as
noted above. However, we can actually include the offender if the information is very
important or under the following conditions:

a) When there is new information Bottled water comes from mountain

 (second sentence). water. It is produced by water company.

b) When knowing the name clearly the Siti Nurbaya was written by Marah
perpetrator of action or the perpetrator Roesli.
of the action is a famous person.

c) When the identity of the perpetrator is It is hard to believe that this beautiful
very surprising or unexpected. jazz melody was composed by an eight-
year-old.

B. Passive Voice with Get

The word get can also be used in passive sentences to replace to be (am / is / are). Usually
a passive sentence with the word get is used in an informal conversation. Just like when using
to be (am / is / are), the form get used is also must tailored to tense sentences.

Subject + to be + past participle (pp)

Tense Rumus Passive Voice Contoh Passive Voice

Simple Present get/gets + pp get treated
Present Continuous am/is/are getting + pp is getting treated
Simple Past got + pp got treated
Past Continuous was/were getting + pp was getting treated
Present Perfect has/have gotten + pp has gotten treated
Past Perfect had gotten + pp had gotten treated
SimpleFuture willget+pp willgettreated
Future Continuous am/is/are going to get + pp is going to get treated
Future Perfect will have gotten + pp will have gotten treated

Such is the brief explanation of passive voice in English. Keep in mind that passive
sentences are considered more formal than active sentences. Therefore, passive sentences are
commonly used in writing such as scientific writing, technical reports, and newspaper articles
and are rarely used in everyday conversations.

sentence.
