Active and Passive Voice

Brought to you by the Purdue University Online Writing Lab.
Graphics for this handout were produced by Michelle Hansard.


Active Voice

In sentences written in active voice, the subject performs the action expressed in the verb; the subject acts.

\"The
\"Pooja
\"Scientists
\"Watching

 

In each example above, the subject of the sentence performs the action expressed in the verb.

Would you like to see examples of all the verb tenses in active voice?

Passive Voice

In sentences written in passive voice, the subject receives the action expressed in the verb; the subject is acted upon. The agent performing the action may appear in a "by the . . ." phrase or may be omitted.

\"The
\"Research

\"Experiments
(agent performing action has been omitted.)

\"I

 

Sometimes the use of passive voice can create awkward sentences, as in the last example above. Also, overuse of passive voice throughout an essay can cause your prose to seem flat and uninteresting. In scientific writing, however, passive voice is more readily accepted since using it allows one to write without using personal pronouns or the names of particular researchers as the subjects of sentences (see the third example above). This practice helps to create the appearance of an objective, fact-based discourse because writers can present research and conclusions without attributing them to particular agents. Instead, the writing appears to convey information that is not limited or biased by individual perspectives or personal interests.

You can recognize passive-voice expressions because the verb phrase will always include a form of be, such as am, is, was, were, are, or been. The presence of a be-verb, however, does not necessarily mean that the sentence is in passive voice. Another way to recognize passive-voice sentences is that they may include a "by the..." phrase after the verb; the agent performing the action, if named, is the object of the preposition in this phrase.

Would you like to see examples of all the verb tenses in passive voice?

Choosing Active Voice

In most nonscientific writing situations, active voice is preferable to passive for the majority of your sentences. Even in scientific writing, overuse of passive voice or use of passive voice in long and complicated sentences can cause readers to lose interest or to become confused. Sentences in active voice are generally--though not always-- clearer and more direct than those in passive voice.

passive (indirect) active (direct):

\"The

\"Over
\"The \"She
\"Your \"I

Sentences in active voice are also more concise than those in passive voice because fewer words are required to express action in active voice than in passive.

passive (more wordy) active (more concise)

\"Action

\"The
\"By \"By

Changing passive to active

If you want to change a passive-voice sentence to active voice, find the agent in a "by the..." phrase, or consider carefully who or what is performing the action expressed in the verb. Make that agent the subject of the sentence, and change the verb accordingly. Sometimes you will need to infer the agent from the surrounding sentences which provide context.

Passive Voice Agent Changed to Active Voice
\"The most of the class \"Most
\"Results agent not specified; most likely agents such as "the researchers" \"The
\"A the CIA director and his close advisors \"The
\"Mistakes agent not specified; most likely agents such as "we" \"We

 

Choosing Passive Voice

While active voice helps to create clear and direct sentences, sometimes writers find that using an indirect expression is rhetorically effective in a given situation, so they choose passive voice. Also, as mentioned above, writers in the sciences conventionally use passive voice more often than writers in other discourses. Passive voice makes sense when the agent performing the action is obvious, unimportant, or unknown or when a writer wishes to postpone mentioning the agent until the last part of the sentence or to avoid mentioning the agent at all. The passive voice is effective in such circumstances because it highlights the action and what is acted upon rather than the agent performing the action.

active passive
The dispatcher is notifying police that three prisoners have escaped. Police are being notified that three prisoners have escaped.
Surgeons successfully performed a new experimental liver-transplant operation yesterday. A new experimental liver-transplant operation was performed successfully yesterday.

"Authorities make rules to be broken," he said defiantly.

"Rules are made to be broken," he said defiantly.

In each of these examples, the passive voice makes sense because the agent is relatively unimportant compared to the action itself and what is acted upon.

Changing active to passive

If you want to change an active-voice sentence to passive voice, consider carefully who or what is performing the action expressed in the verb, and then make that agent the object of a "by the..." phrase. Make what is acted upon the subject of the sentence, and change the verb to a form of be + past participle. Including an explicit "by the..." phrase is optional.

Active Voice Agent Changed to Passive Voice
\"The The presiding officer \"The
\"The The leaders \"A
\"Scientists The scientists \"Traces

In each of these examples, the passive voice is useful for highlighting the action and what is acted upon instead of the agent.

Some suggestions

1. Avoid starting a sentence in active voice and then shifting to passive.

Unnecessary shift in voice Revised
Many customers in the restaurant found the coffee too bitter to drink, but it was still ordered frequently. Many customers in the restaurant found the coffee too bitter to drink, but they still ordered it frequently.
He tried to act cool when he slipped in the puddle, but he was still laughed at by the other students. He tried to act cool when he slipped in the puddle, but the other students still laughed at him.

2. Avoid dangling modifiers caused by the use of passive voice. A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence.

Dangling modifier with passive voice Revised
To save time, the paper was written on a computer. (Who was saving time? The paper?) To save time, Kristin wrote the paper on a computer.
Seeking to lay off workers without taking the blame, consultants were hired to break the bad news. Who was seeking to lay off workers? The consultants?) Seeking to lay off workers without taking the blame, the CEO hired consultants to break the bad news.

3. Don't trust the grammar-checking programs in word-processing software. Many grammar checkers flag all passive constructions, but you may want to keep some that are flagged. Trust your judgement, or ask another human being for their opinion about which sentence sounds best.

Saya diberi tugas membuat tape ketan. Tolong jelaskan lebih jauh tentang langkah langkahnya dan metode supaya bisa dibuat dengan sebaik-baiknya. tolong tuliskan juga bahan dan alat-alatnya u/ membantu dlm proses riset saya...?

Bahan
Beras ketan, direndam semalam
Ragi tape


Cara pembuatan
1. Habis direndam, ditiriskan. Boleh diaron dulu dengan sedikit air, atau langsung dikukus hingga ketan empuk.
2. Angkat, dinginkan.
3. Taburi secara merata dengan ragi tape.
4. Tutup dengan rapat (sebaiknya ditutup dengan bahan yang tidak terlalu kedap, misal daun pisang atau kain), simpan di tempat hangat selama minimal sehari. Cek kematangan setelah sehari. Begitu matang, langsung simpan di lemari es dan santap segera (kalau tidak, dikhawatirkan akan menghasilkan banyak alkohol dan tidak layak dimakan).

tolong kirim contoh teks deskriptif mengenai \" family members\", \" my house\",/ \" my pet\"

Jin Jin is a panda. She is a huge creature and stands at one metre in height. She weighs a hefty one hundred kilogrames.     Jin Jin uses her strong jaw muscles and huge teeth to strip away the hairy sheath of the bamboo shoots.      Jin Jin is an expert tree climber. She likes to climb on top trees to rest, sleep or simply to bask in the sun. Unfortunately, Jin Jin is unable to master the technique of balancing on the branches, thus she seldom stays long on trees. Moreover, she has to stay on the ground most of the time as she spends the greater part of the day eating.

Pak, saya boleh minta contoh descriptive teks tentang abang gak ? saya butuh hr ini krn besok hrus dikumpilkan. trims

kami akan berikan contoh dan kamu akan bikin sendiri. 

Paris

Paris is the capital of a European nation, France. It is also on of the most beautiful and famous cities in the world.

         Paris is called the City of Light. It is also an international fashion center. What stylish women are wearing in Paris will be worn by women all over the world. Paris is also famous for its world center of education. For instance, it is the headquarters of UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

         The Seine River divides the city into two parts. Thirty-two bridges cross this scenic river. The oldest and perhaps the most well known in Pont Neuf was built in the sixteenth century. Sorbonne, a famous university, is located on the left bank (south side) of the river. The beautiful white church Sacre Coeur lies on the top of a hill called Montmartre on the right bank (north side) of the Seine.

         There are many other famous places in Paris, such as the famous museum the Louvre as well the cathedral of Notre Dame. However, the most famous landmark in this city must be the Eiffel Tower.

         Paris is named after a group of people called Parisii. They built a small village on an island in the middle of the Seine River about two thousand years ago. This island is called Ile de la Cite. It is where Notre Dame located. Today around eight million people live in the Paris area.

 

My Favourite Teacher

         

       Everyone has a favourite teacher, someone who we feel a special connection with. In primary school, my favourite teacher was Ms. Nuraini. I was not such a good pupil, but just looking at Ms. Nuraini made me feel that I was going to learn.

        Ms. Nuraini was 45 years old and rather short about 1.50 meters. Since I’m short too, I always feel a bit nervous with tall teacher who tower menacingly over me. It was reassuring to be around Ms. Nuraini. Also, I always enjoy the fragrance of the herbs that she grew in our classroom.

        On the top of her round head, Ms. Nuraini always wore a colorful headscarf with an intriguing design. This, plus her warm smile, brightened the lessons in her classroom. However, the best part of her face was her kind eyes that said to her students, ”I care deeply about you.”

        Ms. Nuraini usually wore bright long sleeve blouse that went well with her coffee-color skin. She did not wear much jewelry, just a simple Casio watch on her left hand and a ruby red ring on the ring finger of her right hand. The other ‘decoration’ on her hand came from types of ink from whiteboard markers and other sources.

        On most days, Ms. Nuraini wore loose-fitting pants. Finally, on her feet, she often had brown closed-toe shoes with just a slightly raised heel that made a peculiar ‘clip-clop’ sound as she walked. These low-heeled shoes made it easy for Ms. Nuraini to walk briskly around the classroom to help us when we were doing group activities.

         I can still feel her friendly touch on my shoulder as she stood listening carefully to our group or explaining something that none of us could figure out.
