Dalam Bahasa Inggris, active dan passive voice menggambarkan dua cara yang benar secara tata bahasa untuk menyusun kalimat. Keduanya memiliki kegunaannya masing-masing, dan penulis dapat memilih kapan menggunakan setiap bentuk kalimat.

Dalam active voice, orang atau benda yang bertanggung jawab atas tindakan dalam kalimat tersebut diletakkan di awal. Dalam passive voice, orang atau benda yang dikenai tindakan diletakkan di awal, dan pelaku ditambahkan di akhir, diperkenalkan dengan preposisi "by".

Bentuk pasif dari kata kerja ditandai dengan bentuk "to be". Misalnya, kalimat "was formulated" berada dalam bentuk pasif sedangkan "formulated" berada dalam bentuk aktif.

Bagaimana cara menggunakan passive voice untuk mengubah fokus kalimat? Pahami lebih lengkap dengan latihan dan baca penjelasannya untuk membantu lebih paham.

Mengenal apa itu passive voice

Kalimat pasif adalah ketika kita mengambil objek dari kalimat aktif dan menjadikannya subjek dari kalimat baru. Kita biasanya membentuknya dengan menggunakan kata kerja 'be' dan past participle. Ini adalah bentuk kalimat, bukan tenses, sehingga dapat digunakan dengan berbagai tenses dari 'be'. Contohnya seperti:

The letter was written.
The chemicals are mixed together.
Our tours are led by local experts.
