Namun sebagai catatan bahwa tidak semua kalimat aktif (active voice) dapat di rubah menjadi

kalimat pasif (passif voice). Kalimat yang dapat di rubah menjadi kalimat pasif adalah kalimat
aktif yang mempunyai objek, yaitu kalimat verbal yang memiliki kata kerja transitive.

Rumus Passive Voice

Pada dasarnya rumus passive voice hanya ada satu yaitu S + Auxiliary Verb + Past Participle. S
berarti subjek, auxiliary verb berarti kata kerja bantu, dan past participle berarti verb3 (bentuk
ketiga dari suatu kata kerja). Nah yang menjadi masalah sekarang adalah auxiliary verb yang
seperti apa yang di gunakan, karena jika kita berkomunikasikan dapat menggunakan berbagai
macam tenses, sehingga auxiliary verb yang di gunakan tentu saja dapat berbeda, untuk itulah
rumus passive voice di atas harus di spesifikkan sesuai dengan tenses yang akan di gunakan.

Namun sebelumnya, anda harus paham terlebih dahulu dengan rumus-rumus tenses, baru
kemudian mempelajari rumus passive voice sesuai dengan tenses, agar tidak bingung nantinya.
Untuk yang belum paham rumus tenses, berikut rumusnya

EVENT/TIME Present Past Future Past future

S + is/am/are + S + was/were + S + will + verb1
Simple Non verb non verb S + Be + Going S + would + verb1
S + verb1 S + verb2 to + Verb1
S + is/am/are + S + was/were + S + will + be + S + would + be +
Continuous
verb.ing verb.ing verb.ing verb.ing
S + have/has + S + will + have + S + would + have +
Perfect S + had + verb3
verb3 verb3 verb3
Perfect S + have/has + S + had + been + S + will + have + S + would + have +
continuous been + verb.ing verb.ing been + verb.ing been + verb.ing

Perlu di ketahui juga bahwa rumus tenses di atas juga merupakan rumus active voice, jadi jika
kalian ingin mengubah kalimat aktif yang termasuk dalam salah satu tenses, semisal kalimat aktif
yang merupakan present continuous tense, maka untuk mengubahnya anda harus menggunakan
rumus passive voice yang di gunakan pada present continuous tense, begitu juga untu semuanya.
Untuk rumus passive voice nya sendiri adalah sebagai berikut:
EVENT/TIME Present Past Future Past future
S + Is/am/are + S + Was/were +
S + Will/shall + Be S + Would/should + Be
Simple
Verb3 Verb3 + Verb3 + Verb3
S + Is/am/are + S + Was/were +
