1. Passive voice
1.1 Definition of passive voice
Passive voice is a sentence which has been reversed. A sentence always contains at least
a subject and an object, so as in passive sentence. It is distinguished with active sentence, if
active sentence means the subject is the one who doing action, in passive voice the subject is the
one who received an action. If we look at the formula of a general active sentence:
Subject + verb + object
We can see from the formula above, the object comes after a verb (can be auxiliary verb
or action verb). It means the object receive an action from the subject. While in passive, the
object becomes the subject but it does not do an action, it receives. The formula will be:
Object + auxiliary verb + v3 + by + subject
A formula of passive sentences can be different depends on the tenses used, but it always
contains auxiliary verb, participle (V3), and by. Object pronoun (me, you, him, her, it, us, them)
in active sentence (object) will be subject pronoun (I, you, they, we, she, he, it) if it being the
subject in the passive sentence. For example:
He is disappointing me → I am being disappointed by him
So, we can say the formula is:

Subject + auxiliary verb + v3 + by + object

We knew that the formula
depends on the tenses used, so there are 16 formulas of passive voice. So as the tenses, passive
voices are 16:
1. Simple present
2. Present continuous
3. Present perfect
4. Present perfect continuous
5. Simple past
6. Past continuous
7. Past perfect
8. Past perfect continuous
9. Simple future
10. Future continuous
11. Future perfect
12. Future perfect continuous
13. Past future
14. Past future continuous
15. Past future perfect
16. Past future perfect continuous

1.2 Formulas of passive voice

As we know from the explanation above, the general formula of passive voice is:
Subject + auxiliary verb + v3 + by + object
But, since it depends on the tenses, in this part we will learn about 16 formulas of passive voice.

1.2.1 Simple present

When using the passive voice Simple Present Tense, it means you will be more
focused on the object in the sentence. The object will change position to replace the
subject. The role of the subject becomes less important to mention in the sentence.

1.2.2 Present continuous

In the passive voice of continuous present tense, the sentence shows that the
action is being done on the object. When we interchange the sentence, we should use an
auxiliary verb with being and past participle of a verb in passive voice of continuous
present tense. Formulas:

Active Passive
S + is/am/are + V-ing + O + C S + is/am/are + being + V3 + by + O + C
S + is/am/are not + V-ing + O + C S + is/am/are not being + V3 + by + O + C
Is/Am/Are + S + V-ing + O + C? Is/Am/Are + S +being + V3 + by + O + C?

1.2.3 Present perfect

1.2.4 Present perfect continuous

Present perfect continuous tense is used to express an event which began in the

continuous refers to something that is continuing in the present. Formulas:

S + have/has not been + V-ing + O + C

1.2.5 Simple past

Basically, the use of simple past is to express an action which happen in the past
and done in the past. It is different with present tense, because it uses auxiliary verb
‘was’, ‘were’, and ‘did’ and using the V2. Time signals which usually used in this tense
are last year, last week, yesterday, 2 hours ago, this morning, etc. Formulas:

Active Passive
S + V2 + O + C S + was/were + V3 + by + O + C
S + did not + V1 + O + C S + was/were not +V3 + by + O + C
Did + S + V1 + O + C? Was/Were + S + V3 + by + O + C?

1.2.9 Simple future

Simple future tense is a tense to describe an event that has not started and will
occur in the future. Sentences in the simple future tense can be marked by the use of the
words will, shall, and going to. Simple future tense is also used to express a prediction or
desire.
It is different from the active sentence formulation of the future tense which uses
the basic verb or "bare infinitive" as the predicate, while for the passive sentence it will
use the past participle or the third form of the verb (verb-3).
As it is also known that the formula for the future tense is divided into two forms,
namely with capital "will/shall" and "going to". The two forms of this formula will also
apply to passive voice future tense sentences.
For the difference between the formula and the active sentence, in this passive
sentence, "be" will be inserted after the modal "will" and after "going to". Then as usual,
the subject that is usually active will become the object in the passive sentence.
Formulas:
Active Passive
S + will/shall + V1 + O + C S + will be + V3 + by + O + C
S + is/am/are going to + V1 + O + C S + is/am/are going to be + V3 + by + O + C
S + will not + V1 + O + C S + will not be + V3 + by + O + C
S + is/am/are not going to + V1 + O + C S + is/am/are not going to be + V3 + by + O
Will + S + V1 + O + C? Will + S + be + V3 + by + O + C?
Is/Am/Are + S + going to + V1 + O + C? Is/Am/Are + S + going to be + V3 + by + O?
