VI. Materi Pembelajaran :

tindakan /kegiatan / kejadian tanpa perlu menyebutkan pelakunya
dalam teks ilmiah. (Passive Voice ).

activity /happening without necessary mentioning the agent in
scientific texts.

3.5 ; 4.5 : “PASSIVE VOICE “ :

All the passive verbs are formed with : BE + PAST PARTICIPLE or V3

The object of an active sentence becomes the subject of a passive sentence.

Only transitive verbs can be used in the passive. A transitive verb is a verb that is
followed by an object.
For example : Active : Bob mailes the letter. ( It can be made into passive ).
Passive : The letter is mailed by Bob.

While an intransitive verb is a verb that is not followed by an object and an intransitive
verb can not be made into passive.
For example :
1).The weather is fine today ( It can not be made into passive ).
2). We are well now. ( It can not be made into passive ).

The “ by – phrase “ is used in passive sentences when it is important to know who

performs an action.
For example :
This sweater is made by my aunt. “ by my aunt “ is important information.
= My aunt makes this sweater.( = active )

Usually, there is no “ by – phrase “ in a passive sentence. The passive is used when it is

not known or not important to know exactly who performs an action.
For examples :

Page | 2
1.That sweater is made in Korea. ( “by someone” is not necessary to be written).
Active = Someone makes that sweater in Korea.
2. Spanish is spoken in Colombia. ( “by people” is usually omitted ).
Active = People speak Spanish in Colombia.

Or, we can also say :

Note :
1. The agent must be written if the agent has already been clear,
such as : by the students, by Mr. Usrok, by Miss/ Mrs. Ucrit, etc.
Example :
Active : The students practice their speaking skills well.
Passive : The speaking skills are well practiced by the students.
Or :The students’ speaking skills are well practiced (by them).

2. The agent that / which must be omitted / left out, such as : by people, by
somebody, by someone, by something.
e.g :
a). Active : People speak English all over the world.
Passive : English is spoken all over the world.

b).Active : Noone brings a big English dictionary in this classroom.

Passive : A big English dictionary is not brought in this classroom.

3.The agent that / which can be written or can be omited / left out, such as :
by me, by you, by him, by her, by them, by us, by it. ( “ by “ followed by
pronouns ).
e.g :
Active :We don’t eat the food in the classroom during the lesson.
Passive : The food are not eaten ( by us ) in the classroom during the lesson.

Note =
1. When the verb in the active voice takes two objects, it is more usual in English to
make the PERSONAL object as the subject of the passive voice.
e.g =
Active = Someone gave me a book.
Passive = I was given a book.

The form = ‘ A book was given to me ‘ would be used when we need to

stress/ emphasize this new subject.

2. In the passive voice it is more usual to put an adverb of manner immediately in

front of the past participle it qualifies.
e.g =
Active : The carpenter makes this chair very well.
Passive :This chair is very well made by the carpenter.

3. PREPOSITIONS or ADVERB PARTICLES must not be left out with verbs

requiring them.
e.g =
