PASSIVE VOICE

GRADE 9
BEFORE STUDYING, LET'S PRAY TOGETHER
 PASSIVE VOICE
The passive voice is a grammatical construction in which
the subject of a sentence or clause denotes the recipient of
action rather than the performer.
The English Passive Voice is formed with an auxiliary
verb “ be “ plus a past participle of a transitive verb.

( Passive Voice adalah kontruksi gramatikal dimana subyek

dari kalimat atau klausa menunjukkan penerima tindakan,
bukan pelaku. Kalimat pasif dibentuk dengan kata kerja
bantu “be + Kata kerja ke 3 dari kata kerja transitif).
EXAMPLE

The Pattern of Passive Voice:

Subject + be + V3 + by + Object

Active : She writes a letter

Passive : A letter is written by her

1. Obyek dari kalimat aktif berubah menjadi Subyek dalam kalimat pasif.
2. Subyek kalimat aktif (she) berubah menjadi Obyek dalam kalimat
pasif.
3. Bentuk kata kerja (write) berubah menjadi to be + past participle
( written)
4. Pada kalimat pasif ditambahkan kata “by” di belakang V3. Namun, jika
obyek dianggap tidak penting atau tidak diketahui, maka obyek
biasanya tidak dikemukakan begitu pula kata”by”.
