PASSIVE CONSTRUCTION



 Passive construction

If the subject is active i.e. if the subject does something in a sentence, the sentence is said to be in active voice.  But if the subject is passive i.e. if something is done to the subject in a sentence, it is said to be in passive voice. 

When a sentence in active voice changed in to passive voice, the meaning won’t change.

 Eg: - He (subject) cleans (verb) the room (object) (Active voice)

The room (subject) is cleaned (verb) by him (object) (Passive voice)

Changes to be made in Passive construction

(1) - Changes in verbs (only transitive verbs)

Present tense – am/is/are + past participle

Past tense – was/were + past participle

Future Tense – will be + past participle

Present continuous – am/is/are + being + past participle

Past continuous – was/were + being + past participle

Future continuous – Passive not in use.

Present perfect – have/has + been + past participle

Past perfect – had + been + past participle

Future perfect – will have + been + past participle

Present Perfect continuous – Passive not in use

Past perfect continuous – Passive not in use.

Future perfect continuous – Passive not in use.

 

(2) - Changes of subject and object

The subject of the sentence in active voice will become object in passive construction.  So, if it is a pronoun, its objective case should be written in the sentence of the passive voice.  Similarly the object of the sentence in active voice will become the subject of the sentence in passive voice.  So, if it is a pronoun its subjective case should be written then.

(3) – Placing, 'by', in front of the object of the sentence in passive construction.
