what are the rule of active and passive voice
Answers
Answer:
There are two basic rules for converting sentences from Active Voice into Passive Voice, which are common for all tenses. The places of subject and object will be interchanged in the sentence. Only 3rd form of the verb or Past Participle (e.g. written) will be used as a main verb in Passive Voice.
A verb is in the Active voice when its form shows that the person or thing denoted by the subject does something; or is the doer of the active.
Example
- Ram helps Sita.
- The chemist will have closed the shop by eight o'clock.
- My father bought a car.
A verb is in passive voice when its form shows that something is done to the person or thing denoted by the subject.
Example
- Sita is helped by Ram.
- The shop will have been closed by the chemist by eight o'clock.
- A car was brought by her father.
Important points:-
A verb is in the active voice when the person or thing denoted by the subject is "doer" of the action.
A verb is in the passive voice when the person or thing denoted by subject is the "receiver" of the action.
