In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb.
These examples show that the subject is doing the verb's action.
Because the subject does or "acts upon" the verb in such sentences, the sentences are said to be in the active voice.
To change a sentence from active to passive voice, do the following:
1. Move the active sentence's direct object into the sentence's subject slot
Active Form
In active sentences, the thing doing the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing receiving the action is the object. Most sentences are active.
[Thing doing action] + [verb] + [thing receiving action]
Examples:
The professor teaches the student.
rumus : Present continous tense :
-Active => is/am/are + verb ing
-Active => will + verb 1
-Active => has/have + been + verb ing
-Active => had + verb 3
example :
Active
- dudi washes the car everyday
- they are lifting the stones
- I will buy a bag
- we sold the car last month
- they have painted their house blue
- she had posted the letter before she came here
- she has been reading a book for 5 house
- mirna writes a letter for her brother every month
- the doctor is examining the patient at the moment
- the rich man will sell his luxurious house to pay for his debt
One can change the normal word order of many active sentences (those with a direct object) so that the subject is no longer active, but is, instead, being acted upon by the verb - or passive.
Note in these examples how the subject-verb relationship has changed.
Because the subject is being "acted upon" (or is passive), such sentences are said to be in the passive voice.
NOTE: Colorful parrots live in the rainforests cannot be changed to passive voice because the sentence does not have a direct object.
Passive
example :
- the car is washed by dudi everyday
- the stones are being lifted by them
- a bag will be bought by me
- the car was sold last month
- the house has been painted blue by them
- the letter had been posted before she came here
- the book has been being read for 5 house
- a letter for mirna’s brother is written by her every month
- the patient is being examined by the doctor at the moment
- his luxurious house will be sold by the rich man to pay for his debt
