ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICE
Puntúa 100,00
Sentences can be active or passive. Therefore, tenses also have "active forms" and "passive forms." You must learn to
sobre 100,00 recognize the difference to successfully speak English.

Active Form
In active sentences, the thing doing the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing receiving the action is the
object. Most sentences are active.

[Thing doing action] + [verb] + [thing receiving action]

Examples:

The professor teaches the students

Subject doing the action verb Object receiving the action

John  washes the dishes

Subject doing the action verb Object receiving the action

 
Passive Form

In passive sentences, the thing receiving the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing doing the action is
optionally included near the end of the sentence. You can use the passive form if you think that the thing receiving the
action is more important or should be emphasized. You can also use the passive form if you do not know who is doing
the action or if you do not want to mention who is doing the action.
[Thing receiving action] + [be] + [past participle of verb] + [by] + [thing doing action]

Examples:
The students are taught by the teacher
Subject receiving the action passive verb doing  action

The dishes are washed by John

Subject receiving the action passive verb doing  action
