Pengertian dan Contoh Kalimat Passive Voice

Passive voice dapat diartikan sebagai suatu kalimat dimana subjek dalam kalimat tersebut menerima aksi, bukan sebagai pelaku aksi. Kebalikan dari active voice yang terfokus pada pihak pelaku aksi (doer of action), passive voice lebih fokus pada pihak yang menerima (hasil) suatu aksi (receiver of action).

Dalam penggunaannya, passive voice ini jarang digunakan untuk percakapan sehari-hari karena lebih bersifat formal. Berikut ini contoh kalimat passive voice;

Active

My parents plant some flowers (subjek = pelaku)

Passive

Some flowers are planted by my parents (subjek = penerima aksi)

Ciri Umum dan Contoh Kalimat Passive Voice

Berupa kalimat aktif yang dapat dirubah menjadi kalimat pasif. Kalimat aktif ini umumnya menggunakan transitive verbs (kata kerja yang membutuhkan objek) antara lain bring, buy, make, write dan lain sebagainya.

Namun sebaliknya, kalimat aktif yang menggunakan intransitive verbs (kata kerja yang tidak membutuhkan objek) antara lain arrive, cry, die, go atau swim, tidak dapat dirubah ke kalimat pasif. Walau begitu, jika intransitive verbs diikuti preposition, kalimat pasif bisa saja dibuat walau cenderung terkesan kaku.

Passive Voice biasanya selalu disesuaikan dengan tenses dan dapat dirumuskan sebagai berikut

Subject + to be (am/is/are) + past participle (pp)

Berikut ini tenses yang umum digunakan beserta rumus dan contoh frasenya

  • Simple Present (am/is/are + pp) = are created
  • Present Continuous (am/is/are being + pp) = are being created
  • Simple Past (was/were + pp) = were created
  • Past Continuous (was/were being + pp) = were being created
  • Present Perfect (has/have been + pp) = have been created
  • Past Perfect (had been + pp) = had been created
  • Simple Future (will be + pp) = will be created
  • Future Continuous (am/is/are going to be + pp) = are going to be created
  • Future Perfect (will have been + pp) = will have been created

Selain itu, kata get dapat pula menggantikan to be seperti dalam percakapan informal namun juga harus disesuaikan pula dengan konteks yang mengikutinya.

Contoh dan Penggunaan dari Passive Voice

  1. Bila pelaku tak disebutkan/ diketahui pasti. Contoh;

My book has been stolen.

Dalam kalimat ini, pembicara tidak tahu siapa pencuri bukunya.

  1. Bila pelaku telah dijelaskan dan tak perlu lagi disebut. Contoh;

Corn is grown in Java.

Dirasa cukup jelas dimana petani sebagai pelaku atau penanam jagung.

  1. Bila tidak ingin menyebut si pelaku. Contoh;

Mistakes were made.

Pembicara tidak ingin mengungkap siapa yang berbuat salah.

  1. Bila pelaku adalah banyak orang/ umum. Contoh;

Transjakarta is used as an alternative means of transportation.

pelaku merupakan publik sebab transjakarta bisa saja digunakan masyarakat umum.

  1. Bila pelaku sudah disebutkan sebelumnya. Contoh;

Mr. Umar caught Budi cheating on the exam. Budi was given punishment.

Mr. Umar sebagai pelaku telah disebut sebelumnya, sehingga dalam kalimat kedua (passive voice) tak perlu lagi disebutkan.

Dalam konteks passive voice tertentu, by-phrase (frasa pelaku) tak selalu digunakan sebab sejumlah alasan seperti yang tertulis tadi. Walau begitu, kita juga bisa mencantumkan pelaku bila informasi itu bersifat penting, contoh;

  • Bila ada informasi baru (dalam kalimat kedua).
  • Bila pelaku sudah diketahui namanya atau orang terkenal.
  • Bila identitas di pelaku tidak diduga sebelumnya.
