PASSIVE VOICE

Pengertian Passive Voice

Passive voice adalah suatu
grammatical construction (bentuk
gramatikal) dimana subject pada
sentence (kalimat) atau clause
(klausa) tidak melakukan aksi,
melainkan menerima aksi atau
ditindaklanjuti (receiver of action)
oleh agent lain (doer of action) baik
disebutkan ataupun tidak.

Penggunaan Passive Voice

a. Digunakan ketika doer of action (pelaku
aksi) tidak diketahui.
ex :
- Someone knocked on your door last
night = Your door was knocked on last
night
- Somebody has used the computer without
permission = The computer has been
used without permission

b. Digunakan ketika doer of action tidak

pentinguntuk disebutkan. Misalnya karena
pelaku aksi tersebut sudah jelas / bisa ditebak
atau merujuk kepada orang secara umum.
ex :
- You can view the results on the web = The
final results can be viewed on the web
- The teacher instructed the students to solve
the math problem = The students were
instructed to solve the math problem

c. Digunakan untuk memberi penekanan

pada object.
ex :
- Sunmark Press published The Enzyme
Factor at the first time in 2005 = The
Enzyme Factor was published at the first
time in 2005 by Sunmark Press
- I have to collect more than 20,000 dollars
to buy the car = More than 20,000 dollars
have to be collected to buy the car.

d. Digunakan sebagai variasi pada

tulisan. Misalnya pelaku aksi telah
disebutkan pada kalimat
sebelumnya.
ex :
- KPK investigators knew that Neneng
Sri Wahyuni returned to Indonesia.
They arrested the woman on June
13. = KPK investigators knew that
Neneng Sri Wahyuni returned to
Indonesia. The woman was
arrested on June 13.
