SIMPLE PRESENT

IN THE PRESENT SIMPLE IT IS USED WHEN YOU WANT TO EXPRESS A ACTION putting more emphasis on the object than on the person performing said action.

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

EXAMPLES:The water is boiled for two minutes. (You can add the agent if you wish)T-Shirts are made of cotton (by the manufacturers)

EXAMPLES:A burger is not being eaten (by me)A show about him is not being made (by them).

STRUCTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE IN PRESENT CONTINUOUS:

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

PRESENT CONTINUOUS

It is used to describe actions that are happening at the present moment or around the current time. We can use passive voice with Present Continuous Tense in our sentences to direct the focus of the sentence on to the action rather than the subject. The "Being" is added to make the time clear

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 PARTICIPLE + (BY THE AGENT)

EXAMPLES: (You can add the agent if you wish)The book has not been read.The songs have been sung.

EXAMPLES:The house was cleaned today.The desserts weren't made.

SUBJECT + WAS/ WERE + PAST PARTICIPLE + (BY THE AGENT)

STRUCTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE IN PAST SIMPLE:

PAST SIMPLE

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.

SUBJECT + WAS/WERE + BEING + PAST PARTICIPLE + (BY THE AGENT)

PAST CONTINUOUS

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.*Actions that were occurring at a particular time in the past*Actions that are happening at the moment you speak

STRUCTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE IN PAST CONTINUOUS:

EXAMPLES:The documents were being reviewed.The car was being driven (by my brother).

SUBJECT + had + BEEN + PAST PARTICIPLE + (BY THE AGENT)

STRUCTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE IN PAST PERFECT:

PAST PERFECT

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. Emphasis is placed on the result itself, and the performer of the action may be unknown, unimportant, or obvious. Often the executor is not mentioned.

EXAMPLES:I had never been abroad before I went to Canada last year. The cake had been eaten.

EXAMPLES:A book will be read by John.A new element will be discovered (by the scientists.)

SUBJECT + WILL BE + PAST PARTICIPLE + (BY THE AGENT)

STRUCTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE IN FUTURE SIMPLE:

FUTURE SIMPLE

When the object is more important than the subject. To avoid mentioning the subject or when it is not known. To make a formal or neutral statement. In scientific or academic writings to focus on the process or result.

EXAMPLES:His debts are going to be paid by me.The case is going to be investigated by the police.

SUBJECT + AM/IS/ARE + GOING TO BE + PAST PARTICIPLE + (BY THE AGENT)

STRUCTURE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE IN FUTURE SIMPLE "GOING TO":

FUTURE SIMPLE "GOING TO"
