Kalimat aktif (active voice) adalah kalimat dimana subject-nya melakukan pekerjaan, sebaliknya, 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..
Contoh active voice :
- She buys a book.
- They played football.
- He brings some books.
- We fertilize the soil every 6 months.
- He meets them everyday.
Contoh passive voice :
- A book is bought by her
- Football was played by them
- Some book are brought by him
- The soil is fertilized by us every 6 months.
- They are met by him everyday.
