 Definition
Passive voice is a type of English sentence that
emphasizes the object (receiver of action). In
Indonesian, passive sentences are usually
preceded by the prefix ‘ter-’ or ‘di-’.

While the active sentence emphasizes the subject

or actor of the activity (doer of action). That is a
sentence whose subject does the job or an action.
 Definition
In addition to focusing on objects, passive voice is
also useful as a statement when the subject or
actor is not clearly known or indicates that the
subject is an inanimate object.

Because the focus is on the subject and object in

the sentence, the use of pronouns and third-form
verbs (V3) also needs to be understood in passive
voice.
