How do you tell the passive voice from the active voice?

In the active voice, the subject doesthe doing of the verb.In the passive voice, the subject ishaving the action done to it.

6

A couple of other tricks …

If there is only one word in the verb it is active voice. Passive voice always requires the verb “to be” in some form plus a past participle – in other words, at least two words.

7

A couple of other tricks …

Also, if you see the word “by” orcan insert the words “by someone”in the sentence, it is passive.Example: My money was stolen (by someone).This sentence is passive voice.

Notice, too, that it has a form of the verb “to be” plus a past participle.

One of the main reasons we use the passive voice is when we don’t want to mention who or what the action is done by. It’s unknown or not important. Still we can recognize whether a sentence is passive by the “be + past participle” structure and by putting “by someone” after the verb. If it still makes sense, it is passive.

One way of thinking of it is that in the present and past continuous, the main part of the verb has an “ing”. What you do is replace the “ing” verb with “being” and put the past participle of that verb when you are making the passive.

58

There are two things to look at here. One – These occur when the past participle is after the verb “to be”.If we are describing how something is feeling, you use the –ed form, as in “I’m bored.”If you are describing how some is, use the –ing form, as in “The instructions are confusing.”

59

Two: This is what you do if the verb/adjective is directly in front of the noun.Ask “Is the noun being done to (-ed) or is it doing the doing (-ing)?”Following are some examples.

60

It is freezing weather. The weather is freezing things.It is frozen food. Something is freezing the food.So, would a room be crowding or crowded?Would a man be accusing or accused?Would a car be stealing or stolen?Would a door be revolving or revolved?

67

What you need to know here is that the verb “get” means that you are “becoming” something.I am getting tired.I’m not tired yet, but I soon will be.What you need to remember is that you must use the proper verb tense with get.What do I mean?

68

I get tired. Stating a fact.He gets tired. Stating a fact.I am getting tired. Happening now.You are getting tired. Happening now.He is getting tired. Happening now.He got tired. Happened in the past.He will get tired. Happening in the future.

69

Finally, how do you deal with questions in the passive?First, just do the same as you always have.Will John eat the pie?Will the pie be eaten by John?

70

Next, if the question in the active has the question words (who, what, where, ect.), you don’t get rid of them.When will John eat the pie?When will the pie be eaten by John?
