2. Kalimat aktif (active voice) adalah kalimat dimana subject-nya melakukan pekerjaan,
kalimat pasif (passive voice) adalah kalimat dimana subject-nya dikenai pekerjaan oleh object
kalimat.
Contoh :
 Active : We fertilize the soil every 6 months
 Passive: The soil is fertilized by us every 6 months
Dari contoh ini dapat kita lihat bahwa:
1. Object dari active voice (the soil) menjadi subject dari passive voice
2. Subject dari active voice (we) menjadi object dari passive voice. Perhatikan pula bahwa
terjadi perubahan dari subject pronoun ‘we’ menjadi object pronoun ‘us’.
3. Verb1 (fertilize) pada active voice menjadi verb3 (fertilized) pada passive voice.
4. Ditambahkannya be ‘is’ di depan verb3. Be yang digunakan adalah tergantung pada
subject passive voice dan tenses yang digunakan. (Perhatikan pola-pola passive voice di
bawah).
5. Ditambahkannya kata ‘by’ di belakang verb3. Namun, jika object dari passive voice
dianggap tidak penting atau tidak diketahui, maka object biasanya tidak dikemukakan dan
begitu pula kata ‘by’.
6. Khusus untuk kalimat-kalimat progressive (present, past, past perfect, future, past future,
dan past future perfect continuous, perlu menambahkan ‘being’ di depan verb3). Kalau
tidak ditambahkan “being”, tensisnya akan berubah, bukan progressive/continuous lagi.
Berdasarkan keenam poin di atas maka passive voice mengikuti pola sebagai berikut:
Subject + be + Verb3 + by + Object + modifier
Pola active dan passive voice pada tiap tensis

are.
