Penjelasan:
Untuk menentukan apakah itu active voice atau passive voice, periksa apakah subjek kalimat yang melakukan aksi atau dia yang terkena aksi (verb itu dikenakan terhadap dia).
Kalau dia yang melakukan aksi (dalam bahasa Indonesia bisa dengan imbuhan me- ) maka dia adalah active voice. Contoh dalam bahasa Indonesia (dia me-nanam, bukan di-tanam/ He plants bukan he is planted)
Sebaliknya kalau dia yang terkena aksi, maka itu adalah passive voice. Contoh: Saya di-tampar, bukan me-nampar (I was slapped, bukan I slap)
Setelah itu tinggal menyesuaikan sesuai dengan rumus pembentukan kalimat passive, dan bagaimana mebuat sebuah kalimat pasif.
Selamat belajr!
