 PASSIVE VOICE : IN TEXT

Hello everyone! My name is Salma, nice to meet you all, and welcome or welcome back to my blog. How are you all? I hope you all are doing safe and healthy in the middle of this pandemic. Today, i am going to explain about the use of passive voice in text.

In my previous blog, i already told you the explanation of passive voice. Passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the action (the verb) and the object of a sentence rather than subject.

We often see passive voice in texts, such as explanation text and report text. Explanation is a text which tells processes relating to forming of natural, social, scientific and cultural phenomena. Whereas report text is a type of text in English that describes the details of an object.

How Earthquakes Happen

Earthquake is one of natural disaster that destroying a certain area the most. It

recently happens in Tasikmalaya, West Java Province.

Earthquakes are caused by suddenly breaks of underground rock along a

fault. This sudden release a huge amount of seismic waves Energy. The ground will

be shaken when it happen. When two plates or two blocks of rock are rubbing

against each other, they will be sticked together. But, they don’t slide smoothly.

The rocks are not moving but still pushing against each other. After several times, the

rocks will be broken due to all the pressure that’s built up. When those rocks

break, the earthquakes happen. This is horrible and we have to maintain our

Environment, so there will be no earthquakes happen.
