2. Introduction
• Active voice is a sentence, where the subject is the one
whose are responsible for the action. Otherwise, in the
passive voice, the object is the one whose are responsible
for the action, instead of the subject.
• Kalimat aktif (active voice) adalah kalimat dimana subject-
nya melakukan pekerjaan, sebaliknya, kalimat pasif
(passive voice) adalah kalimat dimana subject-nya dikenai
pekerjaan oleh object kalimat.
• We often find the passive voice in thearticle of
newspapers, magazines, and scientific literature. Passive
voice is used, because the object from the active voice, is
the more important information than the subjects.
• Sering kita temukan passive voice di surat-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.

4. Forms of Passive Voice
There are some general forms that used in the passive voice.
Things that differentiate it, is when the moments occur. Is it
already happens, is happens, or will happens.
Ada beberapa bentuk umum yang sering digunakan dalam
membentuk passive voice. Yang membedakan adalah waktu
berlangsungnya kejadian yang diterangkan, sudah
terjadi, sedang terjadi atau akan terjadi. Beberapa
diantaranya yang sering digunakan adalah sebagai berikut:

9.  There are three words that can be used in
passive voice.
 By; is used to express a reason for an passive
doings
 Born; is used when we talk about a born of
someone, or a happenings
 Get; can be used to subtituate to be , in the
situation where it takes place.

10.  Untuk menyatakan apa penyebab sebuah tindakan pasif, kita bisa
menggunakan by. Contoh:
Ø This photo was taken by my friend.
Ø I was given this by my brother.
 Seringkali tidak diperlukan untuk menyatakan penyebab
tindakan pasif, khususnya jika dipahami dengan jelas atau tidak
relevan. Sebagai contoh:
Ø The meeting was cancelled (pertemuan itu dibatalkan). (Informasi
penting yang ingin disampaikan adalah pembatalan
pertemuan, bukan siapa yang membatalkannya.)
Ø These boots were made in Italy (sepatu-sepatu boot ini dibuat di
Italia). (Informasi yang penting dalam kalimat ini adalah bahwa
sepatu-sepatu tersebut dibuat di Italia, bukan siapa yang
membuatnya).

11.  Get bisa digunakan menggantikan to be pada situasi dimana
sesuatu terjadi. Contoh:
Ø Our flight got cancelled = Our flight was cancelled.
Ø I got paid today = I was paid today.
 Get tidak bisa digunakan pada situasi-situasi umum dan apabila
bersama dengan kata kerja yang menyatakan keadaan (bukan
tindakan). Contoh:
Ø He is liked by a lot of people. – Benar
Ø He gets liked by a lot of people. - Tidak benar
Ø She is known to be a hard-working employee. – Benar
Ø She gets known to be a hard-working employee.- Tidak benar
 Get digunakan lebih sering dalam bahasa Inggris informal.

12.  Ketika berbicara tentang kelahiran orang
tertentu atau suatu peristiwa, kita
menggunakan bentuk pasif “to be born”.
Contoh:
 Ø I was born in Iran.
 Ø The twins were born just last year.

13. Indirect Object as Passive Object
 ACTIVE: Someone gave Mrs. Grim an award.
 PASSIVE: Mrs. Grim was given an award by someone.
 ACTIVE: Someone gave an award to Mrs. Grim.
 PASSIVE: An award was given to Mrs. Grim.
Direct Object (Object Langsung): Sesuatu.
Indirect Object (Object tak langsung): yang menerima sesuatu.
Contoh 4 kalimat di atas semuanya mempunyai makna yang sama.
Mrs. Grim: sebagai object tak langsung (Indirect Object), dan an award: sebagai object langsung (Direct
Object).
Baik Object langsung ataupun Object tak langsung bisa menjadi Subject dalam bentuk kalimat pasif.
CATATAN: Ketika object langsung menjadi subject, frase “to” biasanya digunakan didepan atau sebelum
object tak langsung (lihat contoh kalimat ke 4).
