Passive Voice (Kalimat pasif)

Passive voice adalah bentuk kalimat yang menonjolkan objek yang dikenai aksi, bukan pelakunya — padanan kalimat "di-" dalam bahasa Indonesia. "Somebody stole my bike" (aktif) menjadi "My bike was stolen" (pasif). Rumus intinya satu: be + V3, dan yang berubah-ubah hanyalah bentuk "be"-nya mengikuti tense.

Rumus passive voice di semua tense utama

Tense	Aktif	Pasif
Simple present	writes	is written
Present continuous	is writing	is being written
Simple past	wrote	was written
Past continuous	was writing	was being written
Present perfect	has written	has been written
Past perfect	had written	had been written
Simple future	will write	will be written
Modal	can write	can be written

Langkah mengubah aktif → pasif: (1) objek kalimat aktif menjadi subjek, (2) tambahkan be sesuai tense, (3) kata kerja menjadi V3, (4) pelaku asli boleh ditambahkan dengan by — atau dihilangkan jika tidak penting.

Kapan passive voice dipakai?

• Pelakunya tidak diketahui atau tidak penting: My wallet was stolen. (siapa pencurinya tidak diketahui)
• Aksinya lebih penting dari pelakunya: The bridge was built in 1920.
• Bahasa formal dan ilmiah: The samples were analyzed in the laboratory.
• Menghindari menyalahkan langsung: Mistakes were made.
