My beloved students, Active and Passive Voice is the last English material for us in this semestar. 

Last year in XI, we have learned about Passive Voice. Do you still remember about it? Yeah...let's check it out on the video for remaining.

ACTIVE VOICE 

In Active Voice, the subject is doing the action  and Object is the one receiving the action.  Active Voice is simpler and easier than passive voice.

Pattern:

Subject(Doer)+Verb + Object (receiver)

Example:

1. Komang eats the pizza in his room

• Komang : Subject
• eats : Verb
• The Pizza : Object
• in his room : Adverb of place

Komang is the “doer” (doing something)

“Eats” is the verb (active) that he/ she does

Pizza is the reciever of the action.

2. Johnny Washes the car in the yard.

• Johnny : Subject
• Washes : Verb
• The car : object
• In the yard : Adverb of place.

“Johnny” is the “doer” (doing something)

“washes” is the verb (active) that he/ she does

“car” is the reciever of the action.

 

PASSIVE VOICE

In passive Voice,  the subject is receiving the action and the object is the one doing the action. The “doer” is written at the end of the sentence and the receiver is beginning of sentence, we can simply say:

• “Object” (receiver) becomes “the subject” (receiver)
• “Subject” (doer) becomes “Object” (doer)

Every Active Voice can be changed  into Passive Voice but still using the Tenses.

The pattern of Passive Voice

Subject (receiver) +be / to be +Verb 3 +by + Object (doer)

• Be / to be : is, am, are, was, were (depends on the tense and the quantity)
• V3: Past Participle

 

Example :

Alexandra takes the book.

“Alexandra” is the “doer” (doing something)

“takes” is the verb (active) that he/ she does

“ book” is the reciever of the action.

 

The passive Voice :

The book is taken by Alexandra

More Example:

1. They will sweep the floor      (modal : Will). Menjadi The floor will be Swept by them (using “be”)
2. Tiffany can open the  big doors (Modal : “can”.) menjadi  The big doors  can be opened by Tiffany (using “Be”)

More examples about active and Passive Voice:

• Active: Maya closed her shop last week
• Passive: the shop was closed by Maya last week

•  Passive: The meeting  will be cancelled by Selena Tomorrow
•  Active : Selena will cancel the meeting tomorrow.
