THE PASSIVE VOICE
PASSIVE VOICE
Passive - Use
We only use the passive when we are interested in the object or when we do not know who caused the action.Example: Appointments are required in such cases.
We can only form a passive sentence from an active sentence when there is an object in the active sentence.
Form
to be + past participleHow to form a passive sentence when an active sentence is given:
- object of the "active" sentence becomes subject in the "passive" sentence
- subject of the "active" sentence becomes "object" in the "passive" sentence" (or is left out)
| Active: | Peter | builds | a house. |
| Passive: | A house | is built | by Peter. |
Examples
| Active | Peter | builds | a house. | Simple Present |
| | ||||
| Passive: | A house | is built | by Peter. | |
| Active: | Peter | built | a house. | Simple Past |
| | ||||
| Passive: | A house | was built | by Peter. | |
