                            Passive Voice 


Haii... Everyone all meet again on my blog. I will explain about Passive Voice along with an example. Lets see together. 🙋 🙋

 Passive Voice 

Passive voice is a type of sentence or clause in which the subject receives the action of the verb.

Passive Voice Function 

The first function of the passive voice is to explain sentences whose subject cannot do a verb. Or in short, if the subject is an inanimate object. What is meant by inanimate objects here is not only physical objects, but also abstract objects, such as thoughts, values, feelings, and the like.

Example:

🐬 Those buildings were ruined by weather anomaly (passive voice)

🐬 The weather anomaly ruined those buildings (active voice

The second function of the passive voice is to explain a sentence whose subject is not known with certainty. Due to this, the object of the final sentence has to be the subject in order for the sentence to be understood.

Example:

🐬 My wallet was stolen when I strolled on this way (passive)

🐬 Someone stole my wallet when I strolled on this way (active)

The third function of the passive voice is to describe events that focus on the object, not on the subject. This means that the object of the sentence is much more important to discuss than the subject.

Example:

🐬 The experiment is conducted between June and September 2019 in Komodo Island, Indonesia (passive)

🐬 We conducted the experiment between June and September 2019 in Komodo Island, Indonesia (active)

The focus of the two examples above is actually the same, namely telling about an experiment. However, if the second sentence is used, it is as if the focus is the activities of the person conducting the experiment, not the experiment. From this alone it is clear that in this condition, the passive voice is more appropriate.

To Describe Two Events in One Sentence

Well, here comes the passive voice function that people rarely talk about! The passive voice can be used in sentences that want to include two or more verbs. One goal: so that the sentence sounds varied. Now as an example, try to compare the two sentences below:

Example:

🐬 When Faza went to school, some punk kids beat her and confiscate her pocket money

🐬 When Faza went to school, she was beaten and her pocket money is confiscated by some punk kids

Passive Voice Formulas

The passive voice is  formed from the auxiliary verb and past participle (verb-3).

auxiliary verb + past participle.

Auxiliary verbs  used in passive voice can be:

🐬 primary auxiliary verb  "be" (is, are, am, was, were),

🐬 a combination of two primary auxiliary verbs  (is / are being, was / were being, has / have been), or

🐬 combination of  primary auxiliary verb and  modal auxiliary verb  (will be, will have been)

The  past participle used is a transitive verb . Past participles are  obtained by adding -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne to the  base form, which  are  regular verbs . In the  base form, it is  an  irregular verb , the  past participle  is inconsistent.
