Passive Voice

Forming The Passive Voice

Active : (a) Mary helped the boy *Mary sebagai subject *helped adalah Verb *The boy sebagai object Passive: (b) The boy was helped by Mary *The boy sebagai subject * Mary sebagai object

Dalam penggunaan Pasive Voice, object dari Active voice berubah menjadi Subject pada Passive nya : Seperti yang tergambar pada contoh di samping. Mary adalah object disana, sedangkan pada Passive voice nya Mary berubah menjadi object

Active : (c) an accident happened Passive : (d) none       Active : (e) tuti goes to the market passive: (f) none

Hanya transitive verb (verb yang diikuti oleh object) saja yang bisa dijadikan kalimat passive sedangkan intransitive verb (verb yang tidak membutuhkan object) tidak bisa di jadikan kedalam kalimat passive contoh seperti kata happen, sleep, come, seem Nah contoh (e) adalah kalimat aktif yang menggunakan adverb sebagai compliment (pelengkap) bukan object, jadi kalimat tersebut pun tidak bisa dijadikan ke dalam passive voice

Form of the passive : be + past participle (Verb 2)
