Hi, friend! Maybe it’s the first time i use english for this blog. Hahaha… i think no. The first post that use english here. haha…

I got this from my sister class presentation… Sorry, if my english didn’t very well… Oke, i want to tell you about the passive voice.   Maybe you have got it from another source, haha… i just want to share…

  • Characteristics

The characteristics of  passive voice are

  1. The object of an active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
  2. Intransitive (don’t use object) verbs like happen, seem, etc can’t be used in the passive voice
  • How To Make a Passive Voice?

Follow this steps…

  1. Find out the tenses of the sentence to make the to be
  2. Change the object of the active sentence become the subject of the passive voice
  3. Check the subject, is it plural or singular? It’s to make the to be too
  • Pattern

The pattern of the passive voice is

Subject + to be + Past Participle (Verb 3)

  • Example
  1. Simple Present (Subj + verb + obj)

I drive a car becomes A car is driven by me

Are you confuse?? i think no, okay!! If you still confuse, continue reading to get another explanation

  1. Present Continous (Subj + to be + verb + ing + obj)

I am driving a car becomes A car is being driven by me

I can get an explanation here. I(subj) am(to be) driving(verb + ing) a car(object), its in active voice… why A car is being driven by me as a passive voice from this?

A car is change from an object in active becomes a subject in passive.

is is a to be of the car

being driven is a verb. We must add being in this tense. Why?? I don’t know better if you ask my sister class… haha…

Ow yeah… for another example, you can find out by yourself… see ya…
