Understanding Active and Passive Voice

  Active Voice

            Adalah kalimat yang subjeknya (S) melakukan pekerjaan.

Contoh:

            Ismail eats mango. (Azam makan mangga)

               S   + V + O

Note  : Ismail = S (melakukan pekerjaan makan)

Ø  Passive Voice

            Adalah kalimat yang subjeknya (S) dikenai pekerjaan.

Contoh:

            Mango is eaten by Ismail. (mangga dimakan Azam)

                S     +    V

Note : Mango = S (dikenai pekerjaan makan)

            Kalimat Active  dapat di ubah menjadi kalimat Pessive dan sebaliknya.Tetapi kalimat yang dapat diubah dari aktif menjadi pasif adalah kalimat transitif (kalimat yang memiliki objek).

Contoh:

Active             : Mary helped the boy.

                            S  +       V    +   O

Passive            : The boy was helped by Mary.

                            S  +       V

Pola dasar kalimat aktif dan pasif

Perhatikan perubahan tenses dari kalimat aktif ke pasif di bawah ini:

A.‘By’ digunakan dalam kalimat pasif apabila pelaku pekerjaan perlu untuk diketahui.

Contoh:

            ‘Life on the Mississippi’ was written by Mark Twain.

B.Kalimat pasif digunakan apabila tidak perlu diketahui pelaku pekerjaan.

Contoh:

            The streets are swept every day.

C.Kalimat pasif digunakan apabila kita tidak tahu atau lupa siapa pelaku pekerjaan.

Contoh:

            The professor was murdered.

D.Kalimat pasif digunakan apabila subject pada kalimat aktif adalah ‘people’.

Contoh:

            He is suspected of receiving stolen goods. (People suspect him of …)

E.Kalimat pasif digunakan apabila subject pada kalimat aktif berupa indefinite pronoun ‘one’.

Contoh:

            Active             : One sees this sort of advertisement everywhere.

            Passive            : This sort of advertisement is seen everywhere.

F.Kalimat pasif digunakan apabila kita lebih tertarik dengan pekerjaan (action) daripada siapa pelaku pekerjaan.

Cotoh:

            A new public library is being built.

G.Kalimat pasif dapat digunakan untuk menghindari kalimat yang janggal atau tidak sesuai dengan tata bahasa.

Contoh:

            When he arrived home a detective arrested him.

            Akan lebih baik           :

            When he arrived home he was arrested (by a detective).
