1. What is simple pasive voice ?

Passive voice adalah suatu grammatical contruktion (bentuk gramatikal) dimana
subject kalimat tidak melakukan aksi, melainkan menerima aksi atau ditindak lanjuti
(receiver of action) oleh agent lain (doer of action) baik disebutkan ataupun
tidak. Sebaliknya, pada konstruksi active, subject berhubungan langsung dengan verb dengan
bertindak sebagai pelaku aksi. Kalimat aktif dapat ditransformasi menjadi pasif, namun
hanya transitive verb (diikuti direct object) yang dapat diberlakukan demikian.
The passive voice is a grammatical construction (specifically, a "voice"). The noun or noun
phrase that would be the object of an active sentence (such as Our troops defeated the
enemy) appears as the subject of a sentence with passive voice (e.g. The enemy was defeated
by our troops).
The subject of a sentence or clause featuring the passive voice typically denotes the recipient
of the action (the patient) rather than the performer (the agent). The passive voice
in English is formed periphrastically: the usual form uses the auxiliary verb be (or get)
together with the past participle of the main verb.
For example, Caesar was stabbed by Brutus uses the passive voice. The subject denotes the
person (Caesar) affected by the action of the verb. The agent is expressed here with the
phrase by Brutus, but this can be omitted. The equivalent sentence in active voice is Brutus
stabbed Caesar, in which the subject denotes the doer, or agent, Brutus. A sentence featuring
the passive voice is sometimes called a passive sentence, and a verb phrase in passive voice is
sometimes called a passive verb.
