1 Passive voice Simple Present
2 General Tips The active form of a verb focuses on the doer of the action Passive voice is used when the focus is on the receiver of the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action. The general rule of rewriting active sentences into passive is as follows: Active: [ S + V + O ] Passive: [ O + form of be + V 3 + (by +S)]
3 ** When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following: the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. A form of (be) is added depending on the tense of the active sentence. The main verb is changed into the past participle (V 3 ) the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence OR IT IS DROPPED IF IT IS NOT IMPORTANT OR UNKNOWN. In general, if the subject of the sentence is a pronoun, or a general noun like people, someone, somebody, something, a man, a woman, theres no need to mention it in the passive form. S = the doer of the action O = the receiver of the action
4 Simple present passive Form: 1.Affirmative statements: Active: [ S + V 1 + O ] Passive: [ O + is/are/am + V 3 + (by + S) ] e.g., 1. Active: They eat sandwiches every day. Passive: Sandwiches are eaten every day. 2. Active: Someone visits the old lady at night. Passive: The old lady is visited at night. 3. Active: They ask me all the time. Passive: I am asked all the time.
5 2. Negative statements Active: [ S + dont/doesnt + V base + O ] Passive: [ O + isnt/arent/am not + V 3 + (by +S) ] e.g., 1. Active: People dont eat kim-bap hot. Passive: Kim-bap isnt eaten hot. 2. Active: Saudi Arabia doesnt import oil and gas. Passive: Oil and gas arent imported by Saudi Arabia. *** NOTICE that do and does are deleted.
6 3. Questions: Active: [(Wh-) + do/does + S + V base + O ] Passive: [Wh-) + is/are/am + O + V 3 + (by + S) ] e.g., 1. Active: Do they eat kabsa hot? Passive: Is kabsa eaten hot? 2.
