ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICE 

Kalimat aktif (active voice) adalah kalimat dimana subject-nya melakukan pekerjaan.  

Kalimat pasif (passive voice) adalah kalimat dimana subject-nya dikenai pekerjaan oleh object kalimat. 

Active voice lebih sering digunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dibandingkan dengan passive voice. Namun demikian, sering kita temukan passive voice di surat-surat kabar, artikel-artikel di majalah-majalah dan tulisan-tulisan ilmiah. Passive voice digunakan karena object dari active voice merupakan informasi yang lebih penting dibandingkan dengan subject-nya.

1.   Active : He meets them everyday.
      Passive : They are met by him everyday. 

2.   Active : She watered this plant this morning
