 Subjeknya tidak diketahui:

in the Upper Old Stone Age. (Kita tidak
tahu siapa yang membuatnya.)
 Subjek tidak relevan:

built in the Australian desert. (Kita tidak
tertarik pada siapa yang membangunnya.)
 Ketika berbicara tentang kebenaran
umum:
Rules are made to be broken. (Oleh siapa
pun, kapan pun)
 Ketika ingin menekankan orang atau hal
yang ditindaklanjuti. Ini mungkin merupakan
topik utama:

researchers at the University of Toronto. It is
still the only treatment available for diabetes.
 Ketika menulis karya ilmiah. Kalimat pasif
lebih disukai dalam laporan laboratorium dan

bagian Bahan dan Metode:

This solution was then titrated with
hydrochloric acid.
