Passive voice

EXAMPLES:A car is given to me by him.The bananas are eaten by the children.Lovely songs are sung by her.

FORM: subject + to be (is/are) + past participle + (by the agent)

The basic structure of the passive voice in the present simple is:

SIMPLE PRESENT

Present Simple Passive is used to talk about some actions that are performed in the present or repeatedly (habits), simple statements of fact or universal truth. The agents of such actions may be denoted with 'by': This work is performed by a new company.

Examples:You are being ridden. You (guys) are being riddenHe/she/it is being found. They are being found

FORM: OBJECT + TO BE (AM/IS/ARE) + BEING + PAST PARTICIPLE + (BY THE AGENT)

Present continuous

We use it when the focus is on the action or the object of a sentence rather than the subject. It is used to describe actions that are happening at the present moment or around the current time. The "Being" is added to make the time clear. THE STRUCTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE IN PRESENT CONTINUOUS:

EXAMPLES:We've been robbed! Our house has been sealed. Your status has been updated.

PRESENT PERFECT

The present perfect passive voice in English is used to focus attention on the action that has been performed, rather than who or what has performed it.

STRUCTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE IN PRESENT PERFECT:FORM: Subject + Have/Has been + past pasrticiple + (By the agent)

It is formed with an auxiliary verb was / were and a past participle. And it is used when the complement of the sentence is the most important, when the subject does not matter or is unknown, or when it is clear without having to mention it.STRUCTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE IN PAST SIMPLE:SUBJECT + WAS/ WERE + PAST PARTICIPLE + (BY THE AGENT)

PAST SIMPLE

EXAMPLES:Something was stolen from our garage last night. Some sort of creature was born.I was located We were located

EXAMPLES:The book was being read by the boyPancakes were being made in the kitchen.She was being hugged by her brother.

PAST CONTINUOUS

Notice that, in the continuous passive, the word “being” is always present – no matter what the verb tense is. The passive voice with the past continuous in English is used to describe actions that are being carried out at the moment you are speaking. STRUCTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE IN PAST CONTINUOUS:SUBJECT + WAS/WERE + BEING + PAST PARTICIPLE + (BY THE AGENT)

STRUCTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE IN PAST PERFECT:subject + had + been + past participle (by + agent).

EXAMPLES: When had the bag been found? The story had been written Had the problem been solved?

Something had been done by someone before sometime in the past. It is used when we care about the outcome of an action that occurred in the past, often before some other event. In the passive voice, an action is performed on the subject.

PAST PERFECT

It is used when talking about an action that will have been completed before a specific time in the future. The passive voice is used when more attention is paid to the action than to who is doing it.STRUCTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE IN FUTURE SIMPLE:SUBJECT + WILL BE + PAST PARTICIPLE + (BY THE AGENT)

FUTURE SIMPLE

EXAMPLES: The cookies will be made tomorrowThe fundraiser will be organized by us.The books will be handed out to the students.

EXAMPLES:My sister is going to be visited by her friend lucia's debts are going to be paid by me..

FUTURE SIMPLE "GOING TO"

WHEN SOMETHING IS GOING TO BE DONE BY SOMEONE IN THE FUTURE

STRUCTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE IN FUTURE SIMPLE "GOING TO":FORM: SUBJECT + AM/IS/ARE + GOING TO BE + PAST PARTICIPLE + (BY THE AGENT)

When it is used with the main verb 'be', It is used to express obligations, recommendations or advice, giving an opinion of what is considered correct.EXAMPLES:Every holiday should be a leisured escape from the daily grind.This cream should be used at night, with a clean face.

STRUCTURESUBJECT + WILL HAVE + BEEN + PAST PARTICIPLE + (BY THE AGENT)
