Passive Voice

Here is a brief review of the form and function of the passive voice. Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. Example: My car was stolen. Form of Passive:

When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:

1 The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.

2 The finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle).

3 The subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence. It is introduced by by (ex. by me). (Be careful: the pronoun has to be me, you, him, her, it, us, them.) It can also be dropped if it is not important to know who did the action. (ex. The car was washed.)

Exercise G

Write "A" in the blank beside the sentence in the active voice, "P" in the blank beside the sentence in the passive voice.

Example: A This book was written by me.

P Peter sold this house.

1. _______ Bob made the coffee. 2. _______ The coffee was made by Bob. 3. _______ The package was sent by my uncle. 4. _______ My uncle sent the package. 5. _______ Nuclear reactors produced radioactive wastes.

Subject + finite form of to be + Past Participle (3rd column of irregular verbs)



6. _______ Radioactive wastes are produced by nuclear reactors. 7. _______ Air pollution caused acid rain. 8. _______ The acid rain was caused by air pollution.

Exercise H

Write passive sentences in Simple Present.

Example: The documents / print _The documents are printed__

The door / open __________________________________________________ The books / buy __________________________________________________ The car / wash ___________________________________________________ The book / read / not ______________________________________________ The food / eat / not _________________________________________________
