What to Focus On

  • Active voice: subject performs the action.
  • Passive voice: subject receives the action.
  • The object of the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive sentence.

  • A sentence with two objects can have two possible passive forms.
  • 'By' is used in passive voice to name the doer.
  • The doer may be omitted if it is unknown or unimportant.

  • Simple present active becomes present passive with 'is/are + past participle'.
  • Present continuous active becomes passive with 'is/are being + past participle'.
  • Present perfect active becomes passive with 'has/have been + past participle'.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any sentence can be changed into passive voice.

The subject always stays the subject when a sentence is changed into passive voice.

The word by is always unnecessary in passive voice.

Memory Tips

Active voice means the subject performs the action

Passive voice means the subject receives the action

Object in active voice becomes subject in passive voice

The meaning of the sentence does not change when changed from active to passive
