what is active pasive


Qba: In active sentence we have a normal subject - object relation {<someone> VERB <something>} e.g. [Johhny is throwing a ball]. In a passive version of this sentence we change that standard relation the other way around - subject becomes object and object becomes subject. Also, we change the word formation by adding 'to be' before our VERB, changing it accordingly and adding 'by' to indicate the doer. Therefore we have {<something> to be + VERB + by <someone>} [Ball is being thrown by Johhny]
