Takeaways

• 😀 Active voice involves the subject performing the action, while passive voice has the object of the action as the subject.
• 😀 In active voice, the subject is the doer of the action. For example, 'Reporters read news reports.'
• 😀 Passive voice in the present simple tense transforms the object into the subject. For example, 'News reports are written by reporters.'
• 😀 Present continuous tense describes ongoing actions. For example, 'Michael is baking brownies' becomes 'Brownies are being baked by Michael' in passive voice.
• 😀 Past simple tense describes actions completed in the past. In passive voice, the object becomes the subject, e.g., 'New workers were hired by the company.'
• 😀 Past continuous tense shows actions happening at a specific time in the past. Passive example: 'The customer was being helped by the salesman.'
• 😀 Present perfect tense indicates actions that started in the past and continue in the present or have an effect on it. For example, 'The book has already been discussed by them.'
• 😀 Past perfect tense is used when an action was completed before another action in the past. For example, 'The letters had been delivered by him.'
• 😀 Future simple tense is used to describe actions that will happen in the future. For example, 'New workers will be hired by the company.'
• 😀 Infinitives are used to express the base form of a verb. In passive voice, it transforms, for example, 'The letters have to be delivered by her.'

Q & A

What is the difference between active and passive voice?

Active voice is when the subject performs an action, while passive voice is when the object of the action becomes the subject of the sentence. In passive voice, the focus shifts from the doer of the action to the recipient of the action.

Can you give an example of a sentence in active voice using the present simple tense?

Sure! An example is 'Reporters read news reports.' In this sentence, 'reporters' is the subject performing the action, 'read' is the verb, and 'news reports' is the object.

How would the sentence 'Reporters read news reports' change in passive voice?

In passive voice, the sentence becomes 'News reports are written by reporters.' The object ('news reports') becomes the subject, and the verb is modified with 'are written,' followed by the agent ('by reporters').

What is the structure of a sentence in passive voice for present continuous tense?

In present continuous passive, the structure is: 'Object + is/are + being + past participle + by + subject.' For example, 'Brownies are being baked by Michael.'

How do you form a passive sentence using the past simple tense?

In past simple passive, the structure is: 'Object + was/were + past participle + by + subject.' For example, 'New workers were hired by the company last year.'

What is the meaning of the sentence 'The customer was being helped by the salesman when the thief came into the store'?

This means that the action of helping the customer was ongoing in the past when another event (the thief coming into the store) occurred. 'Was being helped' is the passive form of the present continuous tense.

Can you explain the structure of a passive sentence in present perfect tense?

In present perfect passive, the structure is: 'Object + has/have + been + past participle + by + subject.' For example, 'The book has already been discussed by them.'

What is the function of 'modal verbs' in English sentences?

Modal verbs are used to express possibility, necessity, ability, or permission. They modify the main verb to indicate the degree of certainty or obligation, such as 'can,' 'must,' 'should,' etc.

How is a passive sentence formed in the future simple tense?

In future simple passive, the structure is: 'Object + will be + past participle + by + subject.' For example, 'New workers will be hired by the company.'

What is the difference between active and passive voice in the infinitive form?

In the infinitive form, active voice uses 'to + verb' (e.g., 'She has to deliver the letters'), while passive voice uses 'to be + past participle' (e.g., 'The letters have to be delivered by her').
