Answer:
Active / Passive Voice Form
In an active sentence, the subject is before the predicate (verb and object).
e.g. Global warming, deforestation, and pollution destroy the earth’s natural resources.
(Subject) (Verb) (Object)
In a passive sentence, the subject of the sentence is placed after the verb in the object position.
e.g. The earth’s natural resources are destroyed by global warming, deforestation, and pollution.
(Object in subject position) (Verb) (Subject in object position)
The passive voice is formed using the verb “to be” + the past participle.
Examples of the VERB “TO BE”: am, is, are, was, were, been, being
Examples of the PAST PARTICIPLE: seen, gotten, lived, worked, bought, taught, loved, caught, ect..
Passive
She was being watched by the police.
The house is being taken care of by the neighbors.
A bomb was detonated in the hotel lobby.
The project will be completed before Saturday.
Active
The police were watching her.
The neighbors are taking care of the house.
Someone detonated a bomb in the hotel lobby.
Someone will complete the project before Saturday.
Sometimes the subject disappears completely in the passive voice:
Pride and Prejudice was written in 1813. (Writer of the book is absent)
Sometimes the subject remains, after the preposition “by”
Pride and Prejudice was written by Jane Austen in 1813.
What’s the difference?
Understanding the difference between active and passive voice allows you to control your writing style. Both styles have their appropriate uses. Consider the active sentence, “I love you”, versus the passive “You are loved by me”. Which is stronger? Which one would you rather hear? Some students think that using the passive voice makes them sound more academic, but (as in the above example) when it is misused, it just sounds wordy. On the other hand, sometimes the passive voice is more appropriate. Imagine that you are writing an article about cotton. Is it better to write “People have used cotton for thousands of years” or “Cotton has been used for thousands of years”? In this situation, the passive construction is better because the writer’s topic remains in the foreground of the sentence and the subject (people) is implied, so it doesn’t need to be included in the
Although the active voice is usually better, the passive voice has its place too. After you have written your rough draft, and after you have revised the content of your work, you should assess your use of active or passive voice as a part of the proofreading process. If you find you are overusing the passive voice, it is very easy to change. First, figure out who or what is the
