Voice (Active and Passive):-

Voice is that branch of grammar which studies the form

that the verb takes in a sentence to determine the status of

the subject and the object.

Types

Active Voice

Passive Voice


http://sscportal.in







Active Voice:- A verb is said to be in the Active Voice when its subject

acts or when the emphasis is on the doer or the subject.

The active voice is so called because the person or thing

denoted by the subject acts.

Example Mohan sang a song.

Here, the subject Mohan is acting.


http://sscportal.in







Passive Voice :-

A verb is in the Passive Voice when the subject is being

acted upon or when the emphasis is on the object or the

work done. The passive voice is so called because the

person or thing denoted by the subject that is not active but

passive, and suffers or receives some action.

Example A song was sung by Mohan.

Here, the subject is being acted upon.

third form and add is/am/are before it, depending on the

number and person of the subject in the active voice.

Active: S + V,(s, es) + O

Passive: O + is/ am/ are + V, + by + S

and being is inserted between is/am/are and the verb.

Active- S + is/ am/ are + V1 ing + O

Passive- O+ is/ am/ are + being + V3 + by + S
