CHAPTER 2 DISSCUSSION
A. Definition
Passive voice is a form of sentence where the subject of the sentence receives the action,
not performs the action. Unlike active voice which focuses on the party taking the action (doer of
action), this form focuses more on the party or object that receives the result of the action
(receiver of action).
Passive sentences are used when the subject is subject to work that has the meaning of at-
or ter-.
Active sentences is when the subject of the sentence performs the action in the sentence,
Passive sentences is when the subject of the sentence has an action done to it by someone or
something else.
Active : My parents plant some flowers (Actor of action).
Passive : Some flowers are planted by my parents.
Generally, active sentences that can be transformed into passive sentences are in the form
of active sentences containing transitive verbs (verbs that require a direct object) such as make,
bring, buy, write and so on. On the other hand, passive sentences containing intransitive verbs
(verbs that do not require a direct object) such as cry, swim, go, arrive, and die cannot be
converted into passive sentences.

CHAPTER 3 CLOSING
A. Conclusion
Thus a brief explanation of the passive voice in English. Passive sentence is when the subject
of the sentence has an action done by someone or something else. The object of the active verb is
the subject of the passive verb. Therefore, verbs that cannot be followed by an object
(intransitive verbs) cannot be used in the passive form. And passive sentences are considered
more formal than active sentences. Therefore, the passive voice is generally used in writing such
as scientific writing, technical reports, and newspaper articles and is rarely used in everyday
conversation.
