Penggunaan Active dan Passive Voice pada Setiap Tenses

Active Voice adalah kalimat dimana subject-nya melakukan pekerjaan (kalimat aktif).

Sebaliknya, Passive Voice adalah kalimat dimana subject-nya dikenai pekerjaan oleh object kalimat (kalimat pasif).

Active voice lebih sering digunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dibandingkan dengan passive voice.

Meskipun begitu, kita seringkali menemukan passive voice di beberapa surat kabar, artikel-artikel di majalah-majalah, dan tulisan-tulisan ilmiah.

Passive voice digunakan karena object dari active voice merupakan informasi yang lebih penting dibandingkan dengan subject-nya.

Active VoicePassive Voice
We fertilize the soil every 6 monthsThe soil is fertilized by us every 6 months

Dari kedua contoh diatas, dapat dilihat bahwa :
  • Object dari active voice (the soil) menjadi subject dari passive voice
  • Subject dari active voice (we) menjadi object dari passive voice
  • Terjadi perubahan dari subject pronoun 'We' menjadi object pronoun 'Us'
  • Verb 1 (fertilize) pada active voice menjadi verb 3 (fertilized) pada passive voice
  • Ditambahkannya be 'Is' di depan verb 3. Be yang digunakan adalah tergantung pada subject passive voice dan tenses yang digunakan. (Perhatikan pola-pola passive voice di bawah).
  • Ditambahkannya kata 'by' di belakang verb 3. Namun, jika object dari passive voice dianggap tidak penting atau tidak diketahui, maka object biasanya tidak dikemukakan dan begitu pula kata 'by'.

Khusus untuk kalimat-kalimat progressive :
Perlu menambahkan ‘being’ didepan verb 3.

Kalau tidak ditambahkan "being", tensesnya akan berubah. Bukan progressive/continuous lagi.

Berdasarkan keenam poin di atas maka passive voice mengikuti pola sebagai berikut :


Subject + be + Verb3 + by + Object + modifier
