An action or information can be expressed in a sentence.

In English the sentences are active or passive.

Voice:-

Voice is the form of the verb which donates whether the subject does the work or something is done to the subject.

There are two types of voice:-

• Active voice

• Passive voice

Active voice:- 

• When subject does something in a sentence it is said to be in Active voice.

Subject + Verb + Object

Passive voice:- 

• When something had done to the substance in a sentence it is said to be in Passive voice.

Object + Verb + By + Subject

Rules for changing active voice into passive voice:-

⭐️The object of the verb is changed to the subject position and the subject to the object position.

⭐️Verb in active voice is changed into its Passive form(Past participle form).

⭐️ While changing we have to aware of Verb.

⭐️ In active voice the subject is initial position .

⭐️In passive voice the object is in initial position .

⭐️The object in active voice becomes subject in passive voice.

⭐️The subject in active voice becomes object in passive voice.

⭐️Verbs in present continuous tense, past continuous tense and future continuous tense cannot be changed into passive voice.

⭐️In passive voice, 'by' is placed before the object

⭐️.If there are modals in the sentence, then the form is $\boxed{\rm{modal + be + past \: participle}}$modal+be+pastparticiple modal+be+pastparticiple modal.

⭐️The pronouns in the active are also changed accordingly like I becomes me, they becomes them etc.

⭐️For order making sentences, the passive form is $\boxed{\rm{let + object + be + past \: participle}}$let+object+be+pastparticiple let+object+be+pastparticiple let+object+be+pastparticiple .

We usually use the passive voice

• For emphasis

Ex:- A tree in out garden was uprooted by the strom.

• Here the stress is on the fact that the tree in the garden was uprooted rather than on the storm.

• When the identity of the subject is not clear or not known.

Ex:- The glass window pane was broken (By some one)

• Some sentences in the active voice have two objects .

• The direct object answers the question Whom or What.

• The indirect object answers the question of To whom,or For whom.

Ex:- Sita drew a map for geetha.

• Here a map answer that question What and is the object.

• Geetha answers the question for whom and is the Indirect object.
