ACTIVE & PASSIVE VOICE
 The passive vs the active voice:

The Active Voice The Passive Voice

Most countries in Latin America Spanish is spoken in most countries

speak Spanish. in latin America.
Use of the passive voice:
Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not
important or not known, however, who or what is performing
the action.
Example: "A letter was written."
The focus, here, is on the fact that a letter was written. We
don't know, however, who wrote it.
Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active
voice, as the following example shows:
Example: A vase was broken.
Focus, here, is on the fact that a vase was broken, but we don't
blame anyone. Compare this to: "You broke the vase."
Form of the passive voice:

Subject + the appropriate form of to be + Past Participle

NOTE: The appropriate form of to be = To be is put in the the

tense of the active voice main verb.
When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the
following:
The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the
passive sentence.
The form of the verb is the appropriate form of to be (the tense
of the active voice main verb) + the past participle.
The subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the
passive sentence (or is dropped.)
 Passive Verb Form

• simple present • am/are/is + pp

• present continuous • am/are/is being + pp
• simple past • was/were+ pp

• present prefect • have/has/been+ pp
• past perfect • had been + pp

must, have to, may, and might) are often used
in the passive.

 Passive voice sentences with two Objects:
Rewriting an active sentence with two objects in passive voice means that one of
the two objects becomes the subject, the other one remains an object. Which
object to transform into a subject depends on what you want to put the focus on.

Active/Passive Subject Verb Object 1 Object 2

Active: Nancy offered a flower to me.
Passive: A flower was offered to me by Nancy.
Passive: I was offered a flower by Nancy.
Impersonal Passive:
Study these examples:
They say that the planet is in danger.
It is said that the planet is in danger.
This type of passive is called impersonal because we use the
impersonal form "it is..." This is only possible with verbs of
perception (e. g. say, think, know ...)
Examples:    
It is said that...
It is thought that...
It is believed that...
It is known that...                      
It is also common that we start the passive form of these
sentences with the subject of the that-clause:
Examples:
They say that the planet is in danger.= The planet is said to be
in danger.
They think that women live longer than men. = Women are
thought to live longer.
- Passive voice merupakan kalimat yang mempunyai karakter yang khas baik
itu pada kata kerjanya (verb), maupun struktur kalimatnya, dimana bentuk
verb pada passive voice selalu menggunakan bentuk Verb-3 (Past
participle), dan subjek kalimat (tidak seperti kalimat aktif) dikenai
pekerjaan (menjadi objek penderita) dari suatu kata kerja,
Misalnya,
* Saya <subjek> menendang <k. kerja> bola itu. (aktif)
I kick the ball.
(Subjek melakukan perbuatan)
Tapi, .......
* Bola itu <subjek> ditendang <k. kerja> oleh saya. (pasif)
The ball is kicked <verb-3> by me.
(Subjek dikenai pekerjaan)
- Verb-3 (Past participle) pada kalimat pasif merupakan kata kerja utama
be (are/am/is,
(main verb) yang selalu diawali oleh bentuk-bentuk ‘to be’
were/was, be, been, dan being) being

BENTUK-BENTUK TOBE + VERB 3

- Verb-3 (Past participle) pada kalimat pasif kurang lebih bermakna ‘di….
atau ter....’
Misalnya,
Basic Verb Verb-3
* write <menulis> written <ditulis>
* buy <membeli> bought <dibeli>
* sign <menandatangani> signed <ditandatangani>
* play <memainkan> played <dimainkan>
- Cara merubah suatu kata kerja menjadi Verb-3 (Past participle),
ditetapkan berdasarkan 2 kriteria verb, yaitu:
1. Verb yang perubahannya beraturan (Regular verb)
Tambahkan akhiran ’-ed’ / ’-d’ atau ’-ied’ pada regular verb!
Misalnya,
Cancel → Canceled
Change → Changed
Study → Studied
2. Verb yang perubahannya tidak beraturan (Irregular verb)
Misalnya,
Choose → Choosen
Sing → Sung
Break → Broken
- Kalimat pasif hanya berlaku untuk kalimat yang memiliki ‘transitive verb’
saja, yaitu kata kerja yang memungkinkan memiliki objek.
Misalnya,
* Menulis (write), adalah transitive verb (bisa dibuat kalimat pasif)
Dinda menulis sebuah ceritera pendek <objek>. (aktif)
aktif
Sebuah ceritera pendek ditulis oleh Dinda. (pasif)
pasif
Tapi, ........
* Pergi (go),
go adalah intransitive verb (tidak mungkin memiliki objek)
Saya pergi ke sekolah setiap pagi <keterangan tempat>. (aktif)
Ke sekolah dipergii ..... ???????? → Rancu!!!
Cape dech !!!!!
 TIPS ZITU KALIMAT PASIF
A. Langkah-langkah Merubah Kalimat Aktif Menjadi Kalimat Pasif
1. Ambil Objek Kalimat Untuk Kemudian Dijadikan Subjek Kalimat Pasif.
(Posisi objek ada setalah Verb/Kata Kerja)
2. Tambahkan bentuk To Be yang tepat dengan ketentuan:
□ Untuk Kalimat Yang Sudah Ber-Auxiliary
- Modal Auxiliary (Tambahkan To Be bentuk dasar, yaitu BE):
Will / Would (Akan) → Will be / Would be
Can / Could (Bisa, Dapat) → Can be / Could be
May / Might (Boleh / Mungkin) → May be / Might be
Shall / Should (Akan / Seharusnya) → Shall be / Should be
Must (Harus) → Must be
- To Have Auxiliary (Tambahkan To Be bentuk Past Participle, yaitu BEEN):
Have / Has (Sudah, Telah) → Have been / Has been
Had (Sudah, Telah) → Had been
- To be Bentuk Present & Bentuk Past (Tambahkan To Be bentuk Present Participle, yaitu BEING):
Are / Am / Is → Are being / Am being / Is being
Were / Was → Were being / Was being
□ Untuk Kalimat Yang Tidak Ber-Auxiliary
- Verb 1 Berakhiran ‘-s’ (Pilih To Be bentuk present ‘IS’)
- Verb 1 Biasa (Pilih To Be bentuk Present ‘ARE’ atau ‘AM’ <untuk subjek ‘I’>)
- Verb 2 (Pilih To Be bentuk Past, yaitu: - ‘WAS’ <untuk subjek tunggal>)
- ‘WERE’ <untuk subjek jamak>
