Syarat-syarat membentuk kalimat Passive Voice :
1. Kalimat Verbal
Yakni kalimat yang kata kerja utamanya ( Ordinary) berupa selain be.
2. Menggunakan Transitive Verb yakni kata kerja yang membutuhkan objek, baik yang diikuti oleh 1 objek (Monotransitive ) maupun yang diikuti oleh 2 objek ( Ditransitive).
3. Kalimat yang berupa kata kerja yang berupa kegiatan ( Dinamic Verb ).
Yang tidak dapat dipasifkan :
1. Kalimat Nominal.
2. Kalimat yang memakai Intransitif Verb ( Verb yang tidak membutuhkan objek )
3. Kata kerja have/has yang bermakna memiliki ( posses )
Have/has secara struktur tidak dapat dipasifkan , tetapi secara meaning dapat dipasifkan dengan catatan mengganti have/has dengan belong to.
Contoh kalimat : I have a new car ( Active Voice ) tidak boleh dipasifkan menjadi A new car is had by me. Makara kalimatnya harus dirubah menjadi A new car belong to me . ( structure active tapi meaning passive )
