PASSIVE VOICE

Passive voice digunakan pada saat:

The house was built in 1997. (rumah ini dibangun thn 1997-siapa yang membangun tidak penting)

2. Untuk memperhalus kalimat

Contoh:

The vase is broken. (vasnya pecah, entah siapa yang memecahkannya)

Bandingkan dengan: YOU broke the vas.

3. Pada saat tindakannya yang lebih dipentingkan daripada pelakunya.
