ACTIVE & PASSIVE VOICE

Active Voice (Sentences On) is the subject line to do something or to do a job. In the Indonesian language characteristics of the active sentence is the verb always beginning with "me" and a few more have the prefix "be".

Passive Voice (Sentences Passive) is a sentence that is the subject of a job or experiencing something. In other words, the sentence is subject to the target activity stated by the verb. In the Indonesian language traits are passive verb phrases that begin with "in-" and some have the prefix "ter-" (depending on the context of the sentence).

We only use the passive when we are interested in the object or when we do not know who caused the action.

Example: Appointments are required in such cases.

We can only form a passive sentence from an active sentence when there is an object in the active sentence.
