Rumus Passive Voice

Passive voice merupakan ungkapan kalimat pasif dalam tatanan bahasa inggris. Dalam bentuk pasif subjek yang dikenai pekerjaan sedangkan dalam bentuk aktif subjeklah yang melakukan perbuatan. Dalam membentuk kalimat pasif yang harus kita lakukan adalah mengubah to be dan mengganti kata kerja ke dalam bentuk ketiga/V3. Berikut ini contoh dari penggunaan passive voice dengan merubah kalimat aktifnya.

Contoh passive voice

• Nanik borrow my pen (aktif)
• My pen is borrowed by Nanik (pasif) / pena saya dipinjam oleh nanik

• Lilik is watching my video (aktif)
• My video is being watched by Lilik (pasif) / video saya sedang ditonton oleh lilik

Ada beberapa bentuk umum yang sering digunakan dalam membentuk passive voice. Yang membedakan adalah waktu berlangsungnya kejadian yang diterangkan, sudah terjadi, sedang terjadi atau akan terjadi. Beberapa diantaranya yang sering digunakan adalah sebagai berikut:

No.	Struktur	Maksud…
1.	S + is/am/are/was/were + V3	di [...]
2.	S + is/am/are/was/were + being + V3	sedang [...]
3.	S + has/have/had + been + V3	telah di [...]
4.	S + will/shall/can/may/must, etc + V3	akan/dapat/mungkin/pasti di [...]

Yang paling penting di ingat sebelum kita mencoba membuat passive voice dan kalimat ungkapan lainnya (dalam bahasa inggris) adalah penggunaan to be pada subjek.

I (am/was, have/had) / khusus
He, she, it ( is/was, has/had) /tunggal
They, we, you (are/were, have/had) / jamak
