Active & Passive Voice:-

• Let us first understand the meaning of voice, and what is active voice and passive voice.

What is Voice of a verb?

• The voice of a verb expresses whether the subject in the sentence has performed or received the action.

Example:-

• The watchman opens the door.
• The door is opened by the watchman.

Types of Voices of Verb

Verbs have two voices

• Active Voice
• Passive Voice

Active Voice –

• When an action performed by the subject is expressed by the verb, it is an active voice. Active voice is used when more straightforward relation and clarity is required between the subject and the verb.

Active Voice example:-

• Hens lay eggs.
• Birds build nests.

Passive Voice –

• When the action expressed by the verb is received by the subject, it is passive voice. Passive voice is used when the doer of the action is not known and the focus of the sentence is on the action and not the subject.

Passive Voice Examples:

• Eggs are laid by hens.
• Nests are built by birds.

Rules for Active – Passive Voice Conversions:-

Rule 1. Identify the (S+V+O) Subject, Verb and object in the active sentence to convert to passive voice

Example:-

• He drives car. (Subject – He, verb – Drives, object – Car)

Rule 2. Interchange the object and subject with each other, i.e. object of the active sentence become the subject of the passive sentence.

Example :

• Active voice : She knits sweater. (Subject – She, Verb – Knits, Object – Sweater)

• Passive Voice : The sweater is knitted by her. (Object sweater is interchanged with the subject She).

Rule 3. Use the suitable helping or auxiliary verb (is/am/are/was, etc.). The rules for using auxiliary verbs in passive voice sentences are different for each tense.

Example:

• The letter is written by her
• A book was not bought by her
• Chocolates are being eaten by them.
