Active and Passive Voice
TO BE : be ;
am.is, are - present
was, were - past
has been, have been - present perfet
had been - past perfect
MODALS : must, can, shall, should, will, would, etc
do, does, did
Now we are still talking about them especially when we are talking about Passive Voice. In Bahasa Indonesia there are :
- Saya memanggil = I am calling--- > Active
- Saya dipanggil = I am called -- > Passive
Where is the difference?
It is in the VERB
- VERB + ing in no 1 is Active
- Verb III or Past Participle is Passive
How to make a Passive from Active ?
- Subject in Active becomes Object in Passive
Object in Active becomes Subject in Passive

|
2. To be + Verb III
|
- Tenses ( Time) is like in Active
E.g :
Active : I write a letter = Saya menulis sepucuk surat
Passive : A letter is written by me = Sepucuk surat ditulis oleh saya.
Past
Active : He hated me = Ia membenci saya
Passive : I was hated by him = Saya dibenci olehnya
Remember again :
- To be and the subject.
I am - He is. - She is – They are – the police are – the lady is – etc.
The changing of Subject to Object
I -> me, you -> you, he -> him, she ->her, we-> us, they -> them, it -> it.
The changing of irregular verbs and regular verbs.
Murder –murdered – murdered, spend –spent – spent, etc
Verb I and Verb II -> Verb III (past participle)
Verb I → Verb III -> To hate > hated, to eat -> eaten
Verb II →Verb III -> Knew > known , wrote →written
- The changing of singular and plural of personal pronouns.
Otherwise you will have difficulties in the placement of to be (am,is,are,etc)
e.g. : he is typing a letter ----- → A letter is typed by him
The police arrested the thief → The thief was arrested by the police
