PASSIVE VOICE

• Passive Voice merupakan kalimat pasif dalam bahasa Indonesia.

Contoh : Andi melempar bola (Aktif) Andi throw the ball (active)
Bola dilempar Andi (Pasif) the ball is thrown by Andi (passive)

• Passive voice merupakan bentuk kalimat dimana subjek kalimat menerima aksi, bukan
melakukan aksi. Tidak seperti kalimat aktif yang fokus pada pelaku tindakan, kalimat pasif
lebih berfokus pada pihak atau objek yang menerima hasil dari suatu aksi tersebut
(penerima tindakan)
• Bila pada kalimat aktif subjek kalimat (orang) melakukan pekerjaan, sedangkan dalam
kalimat pasif, subjek kalimat bukanlah pelaku pekerjaan melainkan objek.
