hemmm PASSIVE VOICE ? ada yang tau gaa ? kalo belum tau , yuk kita beljar bareng :D  capcups~
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.

Construction of the Passive Voice

The structure of the passive voice is very simple:
subject + auxiliary verb (be) + main verb (past participle)
The main verb is always in its past participle form.

subject	auxiliary verb (to be)		main verb (past participle)
Water	is		drunk	by everyone.
100 people	are		employed	by this company.
I	am		paid	in euro.
We	are	not	paid	in dollars.
Are	they		paid	in yen?

Use of the Passive Voice

We use the passive when:

• we want to make the active object more important
• we do not know the active subject

  	subject	verb	object
  give importance to active object (President Kennedy)	President Kennedy	was killed	by Lee Harvey Oswald.
  active subject unknown	My wallet	has been stolen.	?

  Conjugation for the Passive Voice

  We can form the passive in any tense. In fact, conjugation of verbs in the passive tense is rather easy, as the main verb is always in past participle form and the auxiliary verb is always be. To form the required tense, we conjugate the auxiliary verb. So, for example:
  
• present simple: It is made
• present continuous: It is being made
• present perfect: It has been made
