Passive Voice
Membentuk Kalimat Passive
Dalam kalimat pasif, objek dari kalimat aktif menjadi subjek di kalimat pasif. Contoh:
Active: The children helped the old man.
Passive: The old man was helped by the children.
Dari contoh di atas, terlihat bahwa objek (the old man) di kalimat aktif menjadi subjek di kalimat passive. Hanya kalimat transitif (kalimat yg membutuhkan objek) yg digunakan dalam kalimat passif. Contoh:
Active: An accident happened.
Passive: (tidak ada)
