DEFINITION
 Passivce voice is when the subject of a sentence receives the action of the verb rather that perforing the
action.
 In grammar, voice indicates the relationship between the subject of the sentence and its verb.
 English has two voices
 Active voice, the subject performs the verb, as in Toni bake cakes. In this example Toni is doing the
action of the verb (baking cakes)
 Passive voice, a subject the verb’s action performed on it. It receives the action, as in : Cakes are baked
by Toni. Here, Toni is still doing the action, but cakes is the subject. They are receiving Toni’s action
 A sentence written in the passive voice often uses the verb be. Also the performer of the action is also in
a preposition phrase, as in I was hit by snowballs
 The simplest way to determine if a sentence is in the passive voice is to read the sentence and think
about who is doing what. If the performer of the action comes arter the verb, the sentence is most likely
in the passive voice and not active

Kapan kita menggunakan passive voice?
 A. Passive voice digunakan jika kita hanya ingin focus pada kejadian bukan pada siapa yang
melakukannya.

Active : ‘The man is kicking the ball now.’

(pria itu sedang Menendang bola sekarang.)
Passive : ‘The ball is being kicked now./ the ball is
Being kicked by the man now.’
(bola itu sedang ditendang sekarang./bola
sedang Ditentang oleh pria itu sekarang.)
 B. Passive voice digunakan untuk menghindari suatu subject yang
semu (someone, somebody).

 Active : ‘someone hit the mirror last night.’

(seseorang memukul cermin tadi malam.)
 Passive : ‘The mirror was hit last night./the mirror was
Hit by someone last night.’
(cermin dipukul tadi malam./cermin
dipukul oleh seseorang tadi malam.)
1. Passive Voice berhubungan dengan tenses dalam kalimatnya, jadi sebelum
kita merubah kalimat aktif menjadi pasif kita harus lihat terlebih dahulu
bentuk tenses nya.
2. Kata kerja ke 3 (VERB 3) dalam rumus passive voice itu bersifat mutlak.
3. Penggunaan “to be” dalam kalimat passive voice itu “conditional”
maksdunya adalah, to be yang digunakan menyesuaikan dengan penggunaan
tenses nya.
