Passive Voice

(Simple Present Tense)

1. Pengertian Passive Voice

Passive Voice adalah kalimat pasif yang subjeknya menerima tindakan, bukan melakukan tindakan. Fokus kalimat pasif ada pada hasil atau objek yang dikenai tindakan, bukan pada pelaku.

Contoh perbandingan:

• Active: The teacher explains the lesson.
• Passive: The lesson is explained by the teacher.

 

2. Kegunaan Passive Voice

Passive Voice digunakan untuk:

1. Menekankan objek atau hasil tindakan
   → The homework is collected.
2. Ketika pelaku tidak diketahui
   → The window is broken.
3. Ketika pelaku tidak penting
   → English is spoken here.
4. Dalam teks formal, seperti pengumuman, laporan, atau aturan
   → Mobile phones are not allowed.

 

3. Ciri-ciri Kalimat Passive

Kalimat passive memiliki ciri-ciri sebagai berikut:

1. Subjek menerima tindakan
2. Menggunakan to be (am/is/are)
3. Menggunakan Verb 3 (Past Participle)
4. Pelaku diawali kata by (jika disebutkan)
5. Objek kalimat aktif berubah menjadi subjek kalimat pasif

 

4. Ketentuan Passive Voice (Simple Present)

Untuk tingkat dasar, passive voice hanya dapat dibuat dari kalimat aktif yang memiliki objek (transitive verb).
