Extra data:-

An action or information can be expressed in a sentence.

In English the sentences are active or passive.

Voice:-

Voice is the form of the verb which donates whether the subject does the work or something is done to the subject.

There are two types of voice:-

• Active voice

• Passive voice

Active voice:- 

• When subject does something in a sentence it is said to be in Active voice.

Subject + Verb + Object

Passive voice:- 

• When something had done to the substance in a sentence it is said to be in Passive voice.

Object + Verb + By + Subject

Rules for changing active voice into passive voice:-

⭐️The object of the verb is changed to the subject position and the subject to the object position.

⭐️Verb in active voice is changed into its Passive form(Past participle form).

⭐️ While changing we have to aware of Verb.

⭐️ In active voice the subject is initial position .

⭐️In passive voice the object is in initial position .

⭐️The object in active voice becomes subject in passive voice.

⭐️The subject in active voice becomes object in passive voice.

⭐️Verbs in present continuous tense, past continuous tense and future continuous tense cannot be changed into passive voice.

⭐️In passive voice, 'by' is placed before the object

⭐️.If there are modals in the sentence, then the form is $\boxed{\rm{modal + be + past \: participle}}$modal+be+pastparticiple modal+be+pastparticiple modal.

⭐️The pronouns in the active are also changed accordingly like I becomes me, they becomes them etc.

⭐️For order making sentences, the passive form is $\boxed{\rm{let + object + be + past \: participle}}$let+object+be+pastparticiple let+object+be+pastparticiple let+object+be+pastparticiple .

Active and Passive Voice –

• verb(s) - is/am/are + verb(ed)
• verb(ed) - was/were verb(ed)
• will + V1 - will be verb(ed)
• is/am/are gerund - is/am/are being verb(ed)
• was/were gerund - was/were being verb(ed)
• has/have verb(ed) - had/have been verb(ed)
• had verb(ed) - had been verb(ed)
• will have verb(ed) - would be verb(ed)
• would V1 - would be verb(ed)
• would have verb(ed) - would have been verb(ed)
• Modal V1 - modal be verb(ed)
• to V1 - to be verb(ed)
• to have verb(ed) - to have been verb(ed)
• gerund - being verb(ed)

We usually use the passive voice

• For emphasis

Ex:- A tree in out garden was uprooted by the strom.

Here the stress is on the fact that the tree in the garden was uprooted rather than on the storm.

When the identity of the subject is not clear or not known.

Ex:- The glass window pane was broken (By some one)

Some sentences in the active voice have two objects .

• The direct object answers the question Whom or What.

• The indirect object answers the question of To whom,or For whom.

Ex:- Sita drew a map for geetha.

• Here a map answer that question What and is the object.

• Geetha answers the question for whom and is the Indirect object.
