Key Topics to Revise

1

What is Active and Passive Voice?

  • Voice shows the relationship between the subject and the verb in a sentence.
  • In active voice, the subject performs the action.
  • In passive voice, the subject receives the action.
2

When to Use Passive Voice

  • When the doer of the action is unknown: 'My bag was stolen.'
  • When the action is more important than the doer: 'The school was built in 1990.'
  • When we want to emphasize the receiver of the action: 'The award was given to Priya.'
3

Rules for Converting Active to Passive Voice

  • Step 1: Identify the subject, verb, and object in the active sentence.
  • Step 2: Make the object the new subject.
  • Step 3: Use the correct form of 'be' + past participle of the main verb.
4

Special Cases in Passive Voice

  • Pronouns change form in passive voice (e.g., 'I' becomes 'me', 'we' becomes 'us').
  • Prepositions are retained (e.g., 'look after' → 'looked after').
  • Interrogative sentences remain questions in passive voice.
