how to use active sentence and passive sentence past form




HOW TO USE ACTIVE SENTENCE AND PASSIVE SENTENCE PAST FORM

In the active voice, do something is the subject of the sentence and anything that receives the action is the object. Most of the sentences in the English language is an active sentence. Subject/something action] + [Verb/kata kerja] + [Object/ Something to receive act]
  • Example :  The teacher(Subject) teachs(Verb) the students(Object)
In the passive voice, something that receives the action is the subject of the sentence and something to take action (optional, can be written or not) written near the end of a sentence. We can use the passive voice if we think that something that receives the action is more important or should be emphasized to the listener. we can also use the passive voice if we don't know who is doing the action or if we don't to mention who is doing the action. [Something receiving action] + [be] + [past participle (verb 3) of the verb] + [by] + [something actions]
  • Example :  The students(Subject) are(be) taught(verb3) by the teacher.
