PASSIVE VOICE..

The passive voice is a grammatical construction (specifically, a "voice"). The noun or noun phrase that would be the object of an active sentence (such as Our troops defeated the enemy) appears as the subject of a sentence or clause in the passive voice (e.g. The enemy was defeated by our troops).

“Passive voice is a type of sentence or clause in which the subject receives the action of the verb.”

Passive voice adalah suatu grammatical construction (bentuk gramatikal) dimana subject kalimat tidak melakukan aksi, melainkan menerima aksi atau ditindaklanjuti (receiver of action) oleh agent lain (doer of action) baik disebutkan ataupun tidak.

Sebaliknya, pada konstruksi active, subject berhubungan langsung dengan verb dengan bertindak sebagai pelaku aksi. Kalimat aktif dapat ditransformasi menjadi pasif, namun hanya transitive verb (diikuti direct object) yang dapat diberlakukan demikian.

Rumus passive voice adalah sebagai berikut:

S + be + past participle + (by agent)

ket:

S : Subject

be : auxiliary verb (am, is, are, was, were, has been, have been, will be, dll)

past participle: atau bisa disebut verb 3 (kata kerja bentuk ke 3)

(by agent) : pelaku dari tindakan

Contoh:

    Active voice: I read a book.

    Passive voice: A book is read by me.

    Active voice: He drive a car last night.

    Passive voice: A car was driven by him last night.
