Question :

[ Change the voice ]

Answer :

I was given a story book by my friend.

Knowledge Booster :-

An action or information can be expressed in a sentence.

In English the sentences are active and 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 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 initial position.

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

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

✯ In passive voice, 'by' is placed before the subject.

✯ If there are modal verbs in the sentence, then the form is

modal verb + be + past participle

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

✯ For order making sentences, the passive form is

let + object + be + past participle

Active and passive voice :-

• verb(s) - am/is/are + verb(ed)

• verb(ed) - was/were + verb(ed)

• will + V1 - will + be + verb(ed)

• am/is/are + gerund - am/is/are + being + verb(ed)

• was/were + gerund - was/were + being + verb(ed)

• have/has + verb(ed) - have/has + been + verb(ed)

• had + verb(ed) - had + been + verb(ed)

• modal + V1 - modal + be + verb(ed)

• to + V1 - to + be + verb(ed)

▪We usually use the passive voice for emphasis.

Example : A tree in our garden was uprooted by the storm.

Here the stress is on the fact that the tree in the garden was uprooted by the storm.

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

Example : I have been invited to their house (By someone)

▪ 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.

Example : Sita drew a map for Geetha.
