Passive voice

A story book was being read by me when my friend came to my house.

Explanation:

  • Active and passive voice are the two narrative voices in English Grammer.
  • Active voice refers to the performance of a direct action by the subject.
  • The verb implied is the main verb not an auxiliary  verb followed by the past participle form of the main verb.
  • In the passive verb the opposite occurs.
  • The object of a sentence takes the place of the subject.
  • Since the subject does not perform the work directly, the object is followed by an auxiliary verb that determines the tense succeeded by the past participle form of the main verb unless the verb in the active is in the continuous progression.
  • In that case the continuous form of the verb remains, it is only preceded by the auxiliary verb 'being' and the usual auxiliary verb determining the tense precedes it.
  • For the given sentence, ' 'I was reading a story book when my friend came to my house', the verb in the active voice is 'was reading'.
  • Thus the sentence in the passive voice becomes :  A story book was being read by me when my friend came to my house.
  • The second part of the sentence,' when my friend came to my house.' does not have a direct object. Hence it cannot be changed into the passive.
