Active Voice.

>> Voice refers to the form of a verb that indicates when a grammatical subject performs the actionor is the receiver of the action.

>> When a sentence is written in the active voice, the subject performs the actioni.e I make a cake. I am making a cake. I made a cake I have made a cake. I will make a cake.

Possive Voice

in the passive voice, the subject receives the action. In this case, we can use a passive, which puts the object first. We make the passive by putting the verb 'to be' into whatever tense we need and then adding the past participle. Active PassiveI make a cake A cake is made (by me). I am making a cake. A cake is being made (by me).

When should we use the Passive?

• When we want to change the focus of the sentence
• The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. (We are more interested in the painting than the artist in this sentence)

01

• When who or what causes the action is unknown or unimportant or obvious or 'people in general
• He was arrested (obvious agent, the police).My bike has been stolen (unknown agent).

02

• In factual or scientific writing
• The chemical is placed in a test tube and the data entered into the computer.

03

• In order to put the new information at the end of the sentence to improve style
• When the subject is very long
• In formal writing instead of using someone/ people/ they (these can be used in speaking or informal writing)

How do we for a passive sentence?

Passive forms are made up of the verb be with a past participle. If we want to show the person or thing doing the action, we use by: She was attacked by a dangerous dog.The money was stolen by her husband.
