Tak hanya dalam Bahasa Indonesia, dalam Bahasa Inggris pun juga dikenal
kedua jenis kalimat ini.

Pada artikel kali ini, kita akan membahas mengenai kalimat pasif alias passive
voice mulai dari definisi sampai juga contoh kalimatnya.

Definisi Passive Voice

Dilansir dari The Writing Center, passive voice merupakan “a passive
construction occurs when you make the object of an action into the subject of a
sentence.

That is, whoever or whatever is performing the action is not the grammatical
subject of the sentence.”

Dari definisi di atas dapat disimpulkan bahwa passive voice subjek kalimat tidak
melakukan aksi melainkan menerima aksi.

Misalnya dalam Bahasa Indonesia, kata kerja menjadi berawal di-, seperti:
disapu, disetir, dimakan, dan sebagainya.

ditambahkan akhiran -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, atau -ne. Contohnya:

 Some flowers are planted by my parents.

 My phone was stolen.
