Active Voice refers to that type of voice, wherein the subject carries out the action designated by the verb. Passive Voice is a kind of voice, wherein the subject acts as the recipient of the action. As the subject is responsible for the action, it appears at the first place. Object on which the action is performed, appears . What is the passive voice? The passive voice in English grammar allows us to make the recipient of the action the focus of the sentence; the person or thing performing the action is unknown, unimportant or obvious. The passive is formed as follows form of be + past participle. Learn the difference between the active and passive voice with Lingolia, then put your knowledge to the test in the exercises. Example My bike was stolen last night. The cellar in our building was broken into and several bikes were taken. I called the police earlier, but they had already been informed by my neighbour. An investigation is being conducted, but the thief has not been arrested yet. Any information should be reported to the police. When to use the passive in English grammar Active sentences usually follow the subject-verb-object word order and focus on the person or thing performing the action. Example A criminal stole my bike. In contrast, the passive voice focuses on the action itself. Passive sentences tell us what happens to the recipient of the action. Example My bike was stolen. We use the passive when the person or thing performing the action known as the agent is unknown, unimportant or obvious. Examples My bike was stolen. → unknown agent An investigation is being conducted. → obvious agent the police A mistake has been made. → avoids naming the agent Any information should be reported to the police. → people in general If we want to include the agent of a passive sentence, we use the preposition by. Example My bike was stolen by a criminal. They had already been informed by my neighbour. How to form the passive in English grammar Passive sentences are formed as follows form of be + past participle of the main verb. Only the form of the verb be changes depending on the tense that we are using; the past participle remains the same in every tense. The table below provides an overview of the passive voice in all of the English tenses. How to change a sentence from active to passive When transforming a sentence from active to passive, we can take a step-by-step approach. Step 1 identify the object of the sentence and bring it to the front active Someone stole my bike. passive My bike … Step 2 identify the tense and conjugate the verb be accordingly active Someone stole my bike. = simple past passive My bike was … Step 3 find the past participle of the main verb active Someone stole my bike. → steal – stole – stolen passive My bike was stolen. Step 4 decide if you need to include the agent active Someone stole my bike. → Who stole the bike? We don’t know. The agent is unknown and therefore unnecessary in this case. Step 5 if the agent is important, we introduce it using the preposition by. active A cyclist caused the crash. passive The crash was caused by a cyclist. This sentence does not make sense without the agent. Note Because the direct object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence, we can only use transitive verbs in the passive voice steal a car, write a book, make a mistake …. Intransitive verbs do not take a direct object arrive, die, go … so cannot be used in the passive. Learn more about the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs. Table of English Tenses in Active and Passive Check out the table below to learn how to change active sentences into the passive voice in every tense. The passive in sentences with two objects Certain verbs like ask, give, offer, pay, send, show etc. are used with two objects. Usually, one is a person indirect object and the other is a thing direct object. In the active voice, these sentences can be expressed in two different ways Example Someone gave Josie this calendar. Someone gave this calendar to Josie. indirect object IO Josie; direct object DO this calendar This is the same in the passive voice; either object can become the subject of the passive sentence. Example Josie was given this calendar. indirect object Josie → subject Josie This calendar was given to Josie. direct object this calendar → subject this calendar Changing object pronouns to subject pronouns When the indirect object of an active sentence is an object pronoun me, you, him, her …, we must change it to a subject pronoun in the passive voice. Personal & Impersonal Passive In formal situations such as news reports or academic articles, we use reporting verbs and verbs of speech and thought in the passive voice to express information in a neutral, unbiased way. Common verbs agree, announce, assume, believe, claim, consider, declare, expect, feel, find, know, mention, say, suppose, think, and understand. Such sentences can start with it impersonal passive or with the subject personal passive. Example It is said that this area has a high crime rate. impersonal passive This area is said to have a high crime rate. personal passive = They say that this area has a high crime rate. Impersonal Passive Sentences in the impersonal passive begin with it it is said/believed/agreed etc. + that + clause. Examples It is believed that the suspect has blonde hair. It is said that the neighbourhood is a hotspot for crime. It is assumed that the thief is local to the area. Note in the impersonal form, only the reporting verb is formed in the passive voice; the rest of the sentence stays the same. Personal Passive Sentences in the personal passive begin with the subject and contain an infinitive clause subject + is said/believed/thought etc. + to + infinitive. Examples The suspect is believed to have blonde hair. The neighbourhood is said to be a hotspot for crime. The thief is assumed to be local to the area. We use the perfect infinitive have + past participle after the reporting verb to refer to the past. Example The theft is believed to have occurred at midnight last night. The thief is said to have acted alone. have/get something done We can also form the passive with have/get + object + past participle. Note get is more informal than have. We use this form when someone else does something for us, particularly in the context of paid services. Active I do my hair. I do this myself Passive I have/get my hair done. I pay someone else to do this for me Like with a standard passive, the agent of the action is unknown or unimportant; the focus is on the action itself. Example Tom has/gets his car cleaned at the garage. If we want to include the agent, we use by. Example He had his suit made by a tailor. We can use this structure in every tense Examples I’m getting my hair done tomorrow. present progressive We had our kitchen renovated last year. simple past They’ve had the dishwasher repaired several times. present perfect simple Info This passive structure is a type of causative. You can learn more on our page all about causative structures with have and get. Passive with have In addition to services, the passive with have has an extra meaning.

See all my exercises about the passive here. An active sentence like I drank two cups of coffee has the subject first the person or thing that does the verb, followed by the verb, and finally the object the person or thing that the action happens to. So, in this example, the subject is 'I', the verb is 'drank' and the object is 'two cups of coffee'. But, we don't always need to make sentences this way. We might want to put the object first, or perhaps we don't want to say who did something. This can happen for lots of reasons see the explanation further down the page. In this case, we can use a passive, which puts the object first Two cups of coffee were drunk we can add 'by me' if we want, but it isn't necessary. How to make the Passive in English We make the passive by putting the verb 'to be' into whatever tense we need and then adding the past participle. For regular verbs, we make the past participle by adding 'ed' to the infinitive. So play becomes played. Click here to learn about irregular verbs. TenseActivePassive present simple I make a cake.

Practise with these exercises Verbs with two objects Some verbs that have two objects can make two different active sentences, and so two different passive sentences too GiveActive He gave me the book / He gave the book to me. You can choose either of the two objects to be the subject of the passive sentence. Passive I was given the book by him/ The book was given to me by him. Other verbs like this are ask, offer, teach, tell, lend, promise, sell, throw. Try an exercise about this hereThe passive in subordinate clauses You can make the passive in a subordinate clause that has a subject and a normal conjugated verb. This is really the same as a normal passive. Active I thought that Mary had kissed John. Passive I thought that John had been kissed by Mary. Active He knew that people had built the church in 1915. Passive He knew that the church had been built in 1915. You can also make the passive using a passive gerund or a passive infinitive in the same place as a normal gerund or infinitive. The child loves being cuddled. She would like to be promoted. Try an exercise about this here When should we use the Passive? 1 When we want to change the focus of the sentence The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. We are more interested in the painting than the artist in this sentence 2 When who or what causes the action is unknown or unimportant or obvious or 'people in general' He was arrested obvious agent, the police. My bike has been stolen unknown agent. The road is being repaired unimportant agent. The form can be obtained from the post office people in general. 3 In factual or scientific writing The chemical is placed in a test tube and the data entered into the computer. 4 In formal writing instead of using someone/ people/ they these can be used in speaking or informal writing The brochure will be finished next month. 5 In order to put the new information at the end of the sentence to improve style Three books are used regularly in the class. The books were written by Dr. Bell. 'Dr. Bell wrote the books' sound clumsy 6 When the subject is very long I was surprised by how well the students did in the test. More natural than 'how well the students did in the test surprised me' 403 ERROR Request blocked. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time.
