            There are so much patterns for this question sentences with different condition. There are:

Ø  When you want to ask yes / no questions about the identity or description of a person, place or thing (Be + subject + adjective +?). Example: Am I your friend?

Ø  When you want to ask yes / no questions about a present or past location (Be + subjective + preposition + ?). Example: Are the keys under the books?

Tag Question

·         Definition

            A tag question is a special construction in English. It is a statement followed by a mini-question.

·         Characteristic

            Tag questions can be used to ask confirmation. They mean something like: “Is that right?” or “Do you agree?” they are very common in English.

·         When Are This Questions Tag Used

            When someone want to make sure or confirm about something with a single or minimal question in a sentence.

·         Pattern and Example

            The structures of tag questions are:

Ø 
Positive statement tag questions. Look at these examples with positive statements. You will see that most off the time, the auxiliary verb from the positive statement is repeated in the tag and changed to negative.

  

Ø     Negative statement tag questions. Look at these examples with negative statements. Notice that the negative verb in the original statement is changed to positive in the tag.

Tag question special cases with negative adverbs. The adverbs never, rarely, seldom, hardly, barely and scarcely have a negative sense. Even though they may be in a positive statement, the feeling of the statement is negative. We treat statements with these words like negative statements, so the question tag is normally positive. Look at these examples:

·         Against Statement

There is a bird, isn’t there?	Change the auxiliary depend on subject that you are using into the question tag
There are birds, aren’t there?
That is a bird, isn’t that?
This is a bird, isn’t it?
These are birds, aren’t these?
Those are birds, aren’t those?
It is a bird, isn’t it?

ACTIVE AND PASSIVE SENTENCES

Active sentences describes a sentence where the subject performs the action stated by the verb.  In active sentences, the thing doing the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing receiving the action is the object. Most sentences are active. Accessed from http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-active-and-passive-voice.html and http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/activepassive.html April 19^th, 2017.

Passive Sentences describe a sentences subject is acted upon by the verb. the subject is being acted on by the verb and the subject typically comes after the action.
In passive sentences, the thing receiving the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing doing the action is optionally included near the end of the sentence. You can use the passive form if you think that the thing receiving the action is more important or should be emphasized. You can also use the passive form if you do not know who is doing the action or if you do not want to mention who is doing the action

Accessed from http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-active-and-passive-voice.html and http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/activepassive.html April 19^th, 2017.

But I think the active sentence is a sentence that the subject is active and related to the object being done and whose sentence does not need to be accompanied again with the verb while the passive sentence is the opposite of the sentence that states the subject is not active or doing activities but must be accompanied again with the verb.

 Pattern of Active and passive sentences

·         Active Sentences

[Thing doing action]+[verb]+[thing receiving action]

                                         Or

S + V (kata kerja yang disesuaikan dengan tenses-nya) + O

·         Passive Sentences

[Thing receiving action]+[be]+[past participle of verb]+[by]+[thing doing action]

                                                                 Or

                                     S + be + past participle + (by agent)/O

       

       *by agent : orang yang melakukan tindakan

Transitive and Intransitive Verb

·         Transitive Verb

      Transitive verb is a verb object in the hearts That requires a sentence. The object can be either a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun.

Example : I Likes Strawberry

                 Likes is a transitive verb

                 Strawberry is a shaped object of noun

·         Intransitive Verb

         Intransitive verb is a verb that does not need the object. Without the presence of the object to the verb intransitive, it still implies that we can digest.

Example : Peter Crying or He arrived

                 Peter and He is a Subject

                 Crying and Arrived is a Intransitive Verb

        We can equip it with the all sentence with adverb example Peter crying every morning and He arrived last night.

·         Simple Present Tense

Active  : S + V1 + O

Passive : S + is/am/are + V3 + ….

Example : A : She writes the memo carefully.

      P : The memo is/are written carefully.

·         Simple Past Tense

Active   : S + V2 + O

Passive  : S + was/were + V3 + ….
Example : A : She wrote the memo carefully.

                  P : The memo was/were written carefully.

·         Present Continues/Progresive

Active  : S + is/am/are + V-ing + O

Passive  : S + is/am/are + being + V3 + …
Example : A : She is writing the memo carefully.

      P : The memo is/are being written carefully.

·         Past Progresive Tense/Past Continues Tense

Active  : S + was/were + V-ing + O

            Passive  : S + was/were + being + V3 + …
            Example : A : She was writing the memo carefully.

                              P : The memo was being written carefully.

·         Present Perfect Tense

Active  : S + has/have + V3 + O

Passive : S + has/have + been + V3 + …

Example : A : She has writing the memo carefully.

                  P : The memo has been writing carefully.

·         Past Perfect Tense

Active  : S + had + V3 + O

Passive : S + had + been + V3 + …

Example : A : She had writing the memo carefully.

                  P : The memo had been writing carefully.

·         Auxsallaries/help

Modals + be + V-3

Example : A: She should bring her phone to call her sister
                 P : Her phone should be brought by her to call her sister

            In my opinion it easier to make active and passive sentences and change both of the active sentence into a passive or otherwise use Simple Present Tense because it uses direct v1 and objects as well as his passive only use is / am / are as its object and its v3 as a verb. usually the action is happening so much easier to understand
