ANSWER :-
Active & Passive Voice
Let us first understand the meaning of voice, and what is active voice and passive voice.
What is Voice of a verb?
The voice of a verb expresses whether the subject in the sentence has performed or received the action.
Example:-
▶The watchman opens the door.
▶The door is opened by the watchman.
Types of Voices of Verb
Verbs have two voices :-
• Active Voice
• Passive Voice
Active Voice :-
When an action performed by the subject is expressed by the verb, it is an active voice. Active voice is used when more straightforward relation and clarity is required between the subject and the verb.
Active Voice example:-
▶Hens lay eggs.
▶Birds build nests.
Conversion of Active and Passive voice examples :-
•Rita wrote a letter. (Subject + Verb + Object)
•A letter was written by Rita. (Object) + (auxiliary verb) + (past participle) + (by subject).
•She cooks food. (Subject + Verb + Object)
•The food is cooked by her.
• (Object) + (auxiliary verb) + (past participle) + (by subject )
Rules for Active – Passive Voice Conversions
Rule 1. Identify the (S+V+O) Subject, Verb and object in the active sentence to convert to passive voice
Example :-
He drives car. (Subject – He, verb – Drives, object – Car)
Rule 2. Interchange the object and subject with each other, i.e. object of the active sentence become the subject of the passive sentence.
Rule 2. Interchange the object and subject with each other, i.e. object of the active sentence become the subject of the passive sentence.Example :-
Active voice : She knits sweater. (Subject – She, Verb – Knits, Object – Sweater)
Active voice : She knits sweater. (Subject – She, Verb – Knits, Object – Sweater)Passive Voice : The sweater is knitted by her. (Object sweater is interchanged with the subject She).
Rule 3. In passive voice sometimes the subject is not used, i.e. the subject in passive voice can be omitted if the sentence without it gives enough meaning.
Example :-
Milk is sold in litres
Rule 4. Change the base verb in the active sentence into the past participle ie. third form verb in a passive sentence i.e. preceded by (By, With, to, etc). Base verbs are never used in passive voice sentences.
Example :-
•Active voice: She prepares dinner.
•Passive voice: The dinner is prepared by her.
•Active voice: She knows him.
•Passive voice: He is known to her.
•Active voice: Juice fills the jar.
•Passive voice: The jar is filled with juice.
Rule 5. While conversion of Active voice sentence to Passive voice sentence, the pronoun used in the sentence also changes in the following manner.
Active Voice Pronoun Passive Voice Pronoun
I Me
We Us
He Him
She Her
They Them
You You
It It
Rule 6. Use the suitable helping or auxiliary verb (is/am/are/was, etc.). The rules for using auxiliary verbs in passive voice sentences are different for each tense.
Example :-
•The letter is written by her
• A book was not bought by her
•Chocolates are being eaten by them.
