Active
voice (active voice) is the
subject of the sentence in which it does the
job, on the contrary, the passive
voice (passive voice) is the subject of the
sentence in which the subject of work by the
object of the sentence. Active voice is more
often used in everyday life than the passive voice.
Nevertheless, we often find the passive voice in
the newspapers, articles in magazines and scholarly
writings. Passive voice is used as
the object of the active voice is more important information than its subject.
Example :
- Active : We fertilize the soil every 6
months
- Passive: The soil is fertilized by us
every 6 months
From this example we can see that:
1.
Object of the active voice (the soil) became the
subject of the passive voice.
2.
The subject of the active voice (we) became the
object of a passive voice. Note also that there is a change of subject pronoun
'we' being the object pronoun 'us'.
3.
Verb1 (fertilize) the active voice becomes verb3
(fertilized) in the passive voice.
4.
He added that be 'is' in front verb3. Be used is
dependent on the subject of passive voice and tenses are used. (Note the
passive voice patterns below).
5.
He added the word 'by' in the back verb3. However,
if the object of the passive voice is not important or not known, then the
object is usually not mentioned and so is the word 'by'.
6.
Especially for progressive sentences (present,
past, past perfect, future, past futures, and the future perfect continuous
past, need to add 'being' in front verb3). If not added "being",
tensisnya will change, not the progressive / continuous again. Consider the
examples in point h - o below.
Based
on the six points above the
passive voice follow
the following pattern:
Subject + be + Verb3
+ by + Object + modifier
