In this session, i will explain about
Passive voice. What is the passive voice? Enjoy read it ^^
The passive voice is formed by
using the appropiate form of the verb to
be and a past pasticiple. It is
less usual than the active voice. The active voice is the “normal” voice.
To make a passive sentence we need “to be + a past pasticiple”.
Look at the sentence patterns below:
1.
Simple Present : S + is/am/are + past
participle + by + Object
2.
Present Continuous : S + is/am/are
+ being + past participle + by + Object
3.
Simple Past : S + was/were + past participle
+ by + Object
4.
Simple Present with modals : S + modal + be + past participle + by
+ Object
5.
Present Perfect :
S + have/has + been + past participle + by + Object
6.
Past Perfect :
S + had + been + past participle + by + Object
