Concept of Active and Passive Voice
Based on Dulay, Burt.& Krashen (1982)The active voice when
it expresses an action performed by
its subject and the passive voice when it expresses an action performed upon
its subject or when the subject is the result of the action
Voice in English grammar refers to the active and
passive use of a verb. The active voice is used in making a straightforward
statement about an action; that is the “doer” of the action is the grammatical
subject, and the “receiver” of the action is the grammatical object. In the
passive voice, the same action refers to indirectly; that is the original
“receiver” of the action is the grammatical subject, and the original “doer” of
the action is the grammatical object of the preposition by (Frank, M., 1972:
55).
Qodir (2006: 10-13) defines basically in English
there are only two voices namely active voice and passive voice. The active
voice of the verb simply means the form of the verb used when the subject is
the doer of the action. Many active voice sentences are transitive sentences. A
transitive sentence is a sentence with a subject that performs the verbal
action and an object that receives the verbal, active voice is stemming from
which the passive voice is produced and The passive voice in general is formed
by putting the verbs "to be" before the main verb, and the main verb
of the active sentence must be changed into past participle.
Therefore, to differentiate active and passive voice,
the writer can conclude that the pattern of active voice is someone does something, while in
passive voice something is done by
someone.
