Question

active and passive of class 8standarf​

Answer 1

Active Voice : When the Subject of a Verb acts, the Verb is said to be in the Active Voice ; as—

I made a mistake.

Passive Voice : When the object of the Active Voice becomes the Subject, the Verb is said to be in the Passive Voice ; as—

A mistake was made by me.

The Subject dominates in Active Voice but the Object dominates in Passive Voice.

Note. It is only the form of the verb in a sentence which shows whether the subject is the doer or the receiver of the action. A sentence in passive voice may or may not have the ‘by’ phrase attached. Thus in the above sentences, ‘A mistake was made’ is a complete sentence.

2. Rules for changing a Verb from the Active Voice into the Passive Voice:

1. The object of the Active Verb is made the Subject of the Passive Verb.

2. The Subject of the Active Verb is made the object of some Preposition (generally ‘by’).

3. The Verb of the Active Voice gets the Past Participle form of the Finite Verb and some form of the verb ‘to be’ [be, is, am. are, has been, was, were, had been, will be, is being etc.) will be used before it in the passive voice.

4. Some vague and indefinite subjects like ‘everyone’, ‘they’, ‘people’, ‘someone’, ‘somebody’, ‘everybody’, ‘anybody’, etc. are dropped if they are the subjects of the active voice. If so, the preposition ‘by’ is also not used.

5. The Tense of the Verb does not change.

Example: He has done his work. (Active)

His work has been done by him. (Passive)
