Artikel Passive Voice 

Rumus dasar Passive Voice :

be + participle (verb 3 )

Jika memiliki modal :

Modal + be + participle (verb 3 )

Contoh Passive Voice :

Active : We fertilize the soil every 6 months
Passive: The soil is fertilized by us every 6 months

Dari contoh tersebut dapat kita lihat bahwa:

1.      Object dari active voice (the soil) menjadi subject dari passive voice.

2.      Subject dari active voice (we) menjadi object dari passive voice. Perhatikan pula bahwa terjadi perubahan dari subject pronoun ‘we’ menjadi object pronoun ‘us’.

3.      Verb1 (fertilize) pada active voice menjadi verb3 (fertilized) pada passive voice.

4.      Ditambahkannya be ‘is’ di depan verb3. Be yang digunakan adalah tergantung pada subject passive voice dan tenses yang digunakan. (Perhatikan pola-pola passive voice di bawah).

5.      Ditambahkannya kata ‘by’ di belakang verb3. Namun, jika object dari passive voice dianggap tidak penting atau tidak diketahui, maka object biasanya tidak dikemukakan dan begitu pula kata ‘by’.

6.      Khusus untuk kalimat-kalimat progressive (present, past, past perfect, future, past future, dan past future perfect continuous, perlu menambahkan ‘being’ di depan verb3). Kalau tidak ditambahkan “being”, tensisnya akan berubah, bukan progressive/continuous lagi.
