THE USE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE

1. We don’t know who the subject is, or it’s not important who the subject is.

Somebody cleaned the room . The room was cleaned.

2. When it is obvious who the subject is because it is the person who usually does it:

The cleaner cleaned the room . The room was cleaned.

SENTENCES THAT CANNOT BE CHANGED INTO THE PASSIVE VOICE

• Not all verbs in sentences take an object .
• Some sentences are complete without an object .
• Example. John slept well. John lives far away.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACTIVE & PASSIVE

Active voice

Meaning

Passive voice

Active voice is when the subject in a sentence is the doer of the action.

Subject

The subject is always the doer .

Passive voice means that the subject in a sentence is the receiver of the action.

Verb used

Receiver is always the subject.

Active verb

Passive verb

3 STEPS OF FORMULATING THE PASSIVE VOICE

• Put the object at the beginning of the sentence.
• Conjugate the verb ‘to be’ in the same tense as the active sentence.
• Put the main verb in the Past Participle form.

Example 1. The postman delivers the mail.

Step 1. - the object is ‘ the mail ’

Step 2. – the tense is Present Simple = ‘ be ’

Step 3. - the verb ‘ deliver ’ in PP form is ‘ delivered ’.

The mail is delivered .

Example 2. The workers are painting our house .

Step 1. - the object is ‘ our house ’

Step 2. – the tense is Present Continuous ‘ is being ’

Step 3. - the verb ‘ paint ’ in PP form is ‘ painted ’.

The house is being painted .

Note! Put the verb ‘ to be ’ in plural when necessary.

The house s are being painted .

ADDING THE DOER OF THE ACTION

• If we want to put the subject in the sentence we use ‘by’.

• My breakfast was prepared by my mom .

REMEMBER !

• It the active sentence begins with ‘no-one’ or ‘nobody’, the passive sentence will be negative

• Nobody watched TV .

• TV was not watched .

• If there is a preposition between the verb and the object, the preposition will remain after the verb.

• I am looking for the textbook .

• The textbook is being looked for .
