Dalam bahasa Inggris terdapat kalimat aktif dan kalimat pasif layaknya bahasa Indonesia.
Pada kalimat aktif (active sentence) subjek melakukan pekerjaan terhadap objek. Sementara
pada kalimat pasif (Passive sentence) objek dilakui pekerjaan oleh subjek. Kalimat pasif
(passive voice) adalah kebalikan dari kalimat aktif (active). Passive voice dibentuk dari
kalimat aktif yang memiliki objek.
Pada bahasa Inggris bentuk pasif ditandai dengan to be + V3. To be dalam setiap kalimat
berbeda-beda, tergantung tenses kalimat tersebut.
1. Present simple
Rumus: S + am/is/are + V3 + O + Adv.
Contoh:
Active : Somebody holds a ceremony.
Passive : A ceremony is held by somebody.
2. Past simple
Rumus: S + was/were + V3 + O + Adv.
Contoh:
Active : The King of Majapahit built the castle.
Passive : The castle was built by the King of Majapahit.
Contoh lain:
- The village was destroyed by a great disaster.
- The boat was kicked by Sangkuriang.

Passive Voice
3. Simple Perfect
Rumus: S + has/have + been + V3 + O + Adv
Contoh:
Active: I have finished the assignment.
Passive: The assignment has been finished by me atau
The assignment has been finished. (tanpa objek)
4. Simple Future
Rumus: S + will / shall + be + V3 + O + Adv
Contoh:
Active: My mother will cook the fried chicken for me.
Passive: The fried chicken will be cooked for me atau
The fried chicken will be cooked for me by my mother.
Passive voice juga bisa dibentuk dari tenses lainnya, yang akan dipelajari pada tingkatan yang
lebih tinggi. Perbedaannya hanya terletak pada to be kalimat tersebut.
Ingat, dalam membuat passive voice, to be harus sesuai dengan jenis kalimat (tensesnya).
