CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION



Passive voice is a sentence which the subject of his work is the object sentence. And also a sentence that is often used in English. Passive voice is also known in the Indonesian language, for example, makan into dimakan,
The passive voice is less usual than the active voice. The active voice is the "normal" voice. But
sometimes we need the passive voice. In this lesson we look at how to construct the passive voice, when to use it and how to conjugate it.
How to form a passive sentence:
  1. Put object of sentence active in early passive sentence. (Objects sentence active be subject sentence passive)
  2. If in active sentence no one auxiliary (to be), then add “to be” which appropriate with subject in a passive sentence , and appropriate with its tense forms
  3. Put the verb from the active sentence after the auxiliary (To Be) in form of Past participle
  4. Put the preposition “By” after the verb in a passive sentence before subject. (In some state particular, “By” can be removed because  its means already understandable)
