PASSIVE VOICE

What is the passive voice, how to use the passive voice, and when it is appropriate to use it? Let's look at an example of this in advance:Active Voice: Aldi reads a book, is converted to a form of passive voice into a book is read by Aldi.

The above examples give an explanation that the active voice is used to declare the activities undertaken by the subject (actor), and passive voice is used to express what is going on by the subject. Aldi Aldi  reads a book means reading books, meaning Aldi Aldi is the subject and read a book, then the book is an object. Book is read by Aldi means a book read by, means the book that had been the object now is the subject, and that happened in the book is a book read by Aldi.
How to use the passive voice, passive voice pattern changes:
S + Tobe + V3 + by agent.
Specification:
S = Subject
Tobe = is, am, are, was, were, have been, has been, had been.
V3 = verb form 3rd
by agent = Performers
Use tobe adapted to the tenses used in the active voice sentences.
Example 1:
Active Voice in Present tenses:
Aldi reads a book
Subject = Aldi
V1 = Read
Objeck = Book
Then change to the Passive Voice is:
A Book is read by Aldi
Book = Subject
Is = tobe (because of the active present tense to present tense passive)
Read = V3 of the read
by Aldi = Agent
Example 2:
Active Voice in Present Perfect:
Rini has read a book
Subject = Aldi
Tobe = Has (Tobe on Active Present Perfect)
V3 = Read
Book = Object
Then change to the Passive Voice is:
A book has been read by Aldi
Book = Subject
Tobe = Has been (Tobe on Passive Present Perfect)
V3 = Read
By agent = Aldi


Simple Present tense


An Active sentence in the simple present tense has the following structure:Subject + first form of the verb + objectA passive sentence in the simple present tense has the following structure:Object of the active sentence + is/am/are + past participle form of the verb + by + subject of the active sentence

Changing a negative sentence into the passive

Active: I do not write a letter.Passive: A letter is not written by me.Active: I do not abuse my servants.Passive: My servants are not abused by me.Active: I do not write novels.Passive: Novels are not written by me.Active: He does not tease her.Passive: She is not teased by him.

Changing an interrogative sentence into the passive

Structure: Is/are/am + object of the active verb + past participle form of the verb + by + subject of the passive verbActive: Do you write a letter?Passive: Is a letter written by you?Active: Do you write stories?Passive: Are stories written by you?Active: Does she make candles?Passive: Are candles made by her?Active: Who does not obey you?Passive: By whom are you not obeyed?Active: Which newspaper do you read?Passive: Which newspaper is read by you?Active: Does she do her duty?Passive: Is her duty done by her?The following table changes from Active Voice all tenses to Passive Voice




Notes:The object of the active verb becomes the subject of the passive verb. Therefore, sentences which do not have an object cannot be changed into the passive. The following sentences, for instance, cannot be changed into the passive because they do not have objects.The old man sat in a corner.The child sleeps.The wind blows.The dog barks.The fire burns.He laughed aloud.
