What types of Voice:
There are two types of voice:
- Active voice
- passive Voice
Active Voice:
In an active form, subject acts.
We can define this as -
An active voice is a sentence in which a verb shows that subject does an action.
Active Form:-
- Subject + Verb + Object
- Jeremy + washes + the dishes.
- The professor + teaches + the students.
Characteristics of active voice:
We shall see the characteristics of this form. In an active voice :-
- The subject of a sentence in an active form is at the starting of the sentence.
- The subject is followed by the form of ‘to be’, verb, and object.
- We can say that verb is in the Active Voice.
- An active voice tells clearly about the actor who has done it.
Pattern of sentence:
The pattern of a sentence in this voice is:
- Subject+ Verb+ Object
Example with explanation -
Here are some example with explanation –
- My son has built a website.
In the above sentence, we have a subject (my son), a verb (has built), and the object of the verb (website).
Passive voice:
- In passive voice, the action is done.
Definition:
We define this form as-
Passive voice is the sentence in which the form of verb shows that an action is done to the subject.
Passive Form:-
- Subject + be + past participle + by + Agent
- The dishes + were + washed (+ by + John).
- The students + are + taught + by + Sally.
Characteristics of passive voice:
The Characteristics of this form are -
- When we change the sentence from active to passive voice, the object becomes the subject.
- We can use sentences with only transitive verbs in passive voice that is we can change the sentences having objects into this voice.
- This form may or may not tell clearly about the actor who has done it.
- To make clear the action who has done it we should add ‘by’
Pattern of sentence :
The pattern of a sentence in this voice-
- Subject+ form of ‘to be’ + past participle of verb+ by + object
Example with explanation:
- A website has been built.
Or..
- A website has been built by my son.
In the above sentence, we have-
- the direct object of the verb (a website)
- the verb is in passive form (has been built)
- The subject is missing but we can add ‘by’ and make the subject clear.
We can have a passive and active form of following tenses with examples of three persons to understand easily.
