Untuk membuat kalimat aktif menjadi kalimat pasif, perhatikan beberapa langkah berikut ini:
1. Letakan objek dari kalimat aktif di awal kalimat pasif.( objek kalimat aktif menjadi subjek kalimat pasif)
2. Jika dalam kalimat aktif tidak ada “to be” maka tambahkanlah “to be” yang sesuai dengan subjek dalam kalimat pasif tersebut, dan yang sesuai dengan bentuk tenses-nya.
3. Letakkan kata kerja utama (Verb) dari kalimat aktif sesudah “to be” dalam bentuk past participle ( Verb 3)
4. Letakkan preposition “By” sesudah kata kerja utama dalam kalimat pasif sebelum subjek.
