Passive voice

Menjelaskan apa itu passive

voice, kegunaanya dan
bagaimana cara
menggunakannya disertai
dengan contoh-contohnya.
 Apa itu passive voice?
Passive voice dalam bahasa indonesia dikenal dengan
nama kalimat pasif. Kalimat aktif dan kalimat pasif memiliki
beberapa perbedaan yang sangat mendasar. Bila pada
kalimat aktif subjek kalimat (orang) melakukan pekerjaan,
sedangkan dalam kalimat pasif subjek bukanlah pelaku
pekerjaan melainkan objek.

Active : S + Verb/Modal+ O

Passive: S + Verb/Modal+
O
Kalimat pasif dalam bahasa indonesia dapat dengan
mudah dibentuk yaitu hanya dengan menambahkan
awalan di- di depan kata kerja. Contohnya:
 Aktif: adik menendang bola.
 Pasif: bola ditendang adik.

Tetapi dalam bahasa inggris terdapat cara yang sedikit

berbeda untuk merubah kalimat aktif menjadi kalimat
pasif. Kita harus merubah beberapa bentuk kata
kerjanya dan menambahkan to be di depannya.
Contohnya :
 Aktif : My brother kicks the ball.
Passive : The ball is kicked by My brother.
Kapan kita menggunakan
passive voice?
A. Passive voice digunakan jika kita hanya ingin fokus
pada kejadian bukan pada siapa yang
melakukannya.

Active : The man is kicking the ball now.

Passive: The ball is being kicked now. /
The ball is being kicked by the man now.
B. Passive voice digunakan untuk menghindari suatu
subject yang semu (someone, somebody)

Active : Someone hit the mirror last night.

Passive: The mirror was hit last night. /
The mirror was hit by someone last night.
Note:
Dalam bahasa inggris terdapat beberapa kata kerja yang bisa
memiliki 2 object, seperti : Teach, pay, give, ask, tell, show, offer.

Active : Mr. Aldo teaches me Math.

Passive : I am tough Math by Mr. Aldo. /
Math is tough by Mr. Aldo to me.
