kalimat aktif dan pasif dalam bahasa inggris | Passive Voice #kampunginggris

Introduction

This tutorial aims to help English learners understand the difference between active and passive voice, as well as how to convert sentences from one form to another. Mastering these concepts is essential for effective communication in English, whether in writing or speaking.

Step 1: Understanding Active and Passive Voice

• Active Voice: The subject performs the action of the verb. Example: "The cat chased the mouse."
• Passive Voice: The subject receives the action of the verb. Example: "The mouse was chased by the cat."

Key Characteristics

• In active voice, the focus is on the doer of the action.
• In passive voice, the focus shifts to the recipient of the action.

Step 2: Converting Active Sentences to Passive

To change an active voice sentence into passive voice, follow these steps:

1. Identify the subject, verb, and object in the active sentence.
2. Move the object of the active sentence to the subject position in the passive sentence.
3. Change the verb to the appropriate form of "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb.
4. Optionally, include the original subject preceded by "by."

Example Transformation

• Active: "The chef cooks the meal."
• Identify: Subject (the chef), Verb (cooks), Object (the meal).
• Passive: "The meal is cooked by the chef."

Step 3: Understanding Tenses in Active and Passive Voice

Active and passive voice can be used in all tenses. Here’s how to form passive sentences in various tenses:

Present Simple

• Active: "She writes a letter."
• Passive: "A letter is written by her."

Past Simple

• Active: "He completed the project."
• Passive: "The project was completed by him."

Future Simple
