Pengertian
Passive voice adalah
suatu grammatical construction (bentuk gramatikal) dimana subject
pada sentence (kalimat) atau clause (klausa) 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
pada sentence atau clause berhubungan langsung dengan verb
dengan bertindak sebagai pelaku aksi. Kalimat aktif dapat ditransformasi
menjadi pasif, namun hanya transitive verb (mempunyai direct object)
yang dapat diberlakukan demikian.
Rumus
Passive Voice
Rumus passive voice adalah sebagai berikut di
bawah ini :
S + auxiliary verb + participle
Catatan:
- Auxiliary verb dapat berupa primary auxiliary verb be
(is, are, am, was, were, be, been, being) maupun kombinasi antara dua primary (is/are
being, was/were being, has/have been) maupun antara primary
dan modal auxiliary verb (will
be, will have been).
- Kombinasi auxiliary digunakan pada bentuk
pasif pada tenses. Penjelasan lebih lengkap dapat dilihat di Bentuk Pasif pada Tenses,
Infinitive, dan Gerund.
- Past participle yang digunakan berupa kata
kerja transitive (memiliki direct object).
Contoh:
She can’t drive a car. (active voice,
transitive), He always come on time. (active voice, intransitive)
Contoh:
play (base form) —> played (past participle), sing
(base form) —> sung (past participle)

Pengecualian
pada Transitive Verbs
Tidak semua transitive verb, kata kerja yang
memiliki direct object, dapat dipasifkan. Beberapa kata kerja tersebut
yang antara lain: have, become, lack, look like, mean,
dll akan terdengar tidak wajar maknanya ketika dipasifkan. Beberapa contoh
kalimat dari kata kerja tersebut adalah sebagai berikut.
Contoh:
- I have a great new idea. —>
tidak dapat dipasifkan dengan: A great new idea is had by me.
- The snack contains aspartame. —>
tidak dapat dipasifkan dengan: Aspartame is contained by the snack.
For example :
1. is
written by…. (ditulis oleh….)
2. are

Active and Passive Voice Sentences
Most English
sentences are written with active, passive, or neuter verbs, such as being
verbs. The active and passive voices are the two main voices in English, but
some sentences may also be considered to be in the middle or mediopassive
voice. Voice is the relationship between the subject and the verb in a clause
or the transfer of action.
-
In the active voice, the subject performs the
action. The subject of an active-voice construction is known as an agent. A
clause with an active, transitive verb will be in the form of subject-verb-object.
Example: The student finished the exercise.
-
In the passive voice, the subject receives the
action. The subject of a passive-voice construction is known as a patient. An
active voice clause can be passivized, or recast in the passive voice (for example,
to increase formality), by making the object of the active clause the subject
of the passive clause. “The exercise” is the object in the sentence above. The
verb will be “was finished.” For a passive verb, the tense and subject-verb
agreement are always shown through the auxiliary verb “to be.” The main verb is
always the past participle. The subject of the active voice sentence can be
included in a prepositional phrase with “by.”
Example: The exercise was finished by the student.
Intransitive
verbs can be used in the passive voice when a prepositional phrase is included.
1.
Active voice: The teacher referred to “voice” as a
grammatical term.
Passive
voice: “Voice” was referred to as a grammatical term by the teacher.
2.
Active voice: The man yelled at the waiter.
Passive
voice: The waiter was yelled at by the man.
3.
Active voice: Millions of people lived in the houses.
Passive
voice: The houses were lived in by millions of people.
Intransitive
verbs without prepositional phrases cannot be passivized. There is no word to become
the subject of the sentence. Active voice: Millions of people lived.
Passive voice: ? was lived. Linking verbs (such as being verbs) are
intransitive verbs that can never be used in the passive voice. They do not
show action and are thus neither active nor passive. They are called neuter
verbs.
-
In the active voice, the sentence has between
two and three noun phrases that do not require a prepositional phrase. These
are called the subject, the direct object and the indirect object.
-
I dropped the ball. (“I” is the subject. “The
ball” is the direct object.
-
The man offered the butler a reward. (“The man”
is the subject. “The butler” is the indirect object and “a reward” is the
direct object.)
-
The man offered a reward to the butler. (“The
man” is still the subject. “A reward” is still the direct object, but “the
butler” is now part of a prepositional phrase and is no longer an indirect
object.)
-
In the passive voice, the sentence has one fewer
noun phrase than the corresponding active. The subject is removed and can
appear only in an optional prepositional phrase. The object is promoted to
subject. For ditransitive verbs, the direct or indirect object can become the
subject.
1. The
ball was dropped by me. (“The ball” is now the subject. “Me” shows up in an
optional “by”-phrase.)
2. The
Butler was offered a reward by the man. (“The butler” is now the subject. There
is only one object: “a reward.” “The man” shows up in an optional “by”-phrase.)
3. A
reward was offered to the butler by the man. (“A reward” is now the subject.
“The butler” is not considered an indirect object because it is part of a
prepositional phrase. “The man” shows up in an optional “by”-phrase.)
