at the airport. 2. What can you say
about the form of
the verb?
 Most transitive verbs
(verbs that take an
object) can be used in
both active and passive
voice.
 The voice of the verb
does not normally affect
the meaning of a
sentence but it does
change the focus.
● In the active voice, the focus or the
subject is the doer of the action.
● To shift the focus to the receiver of
the action, use the passive voice.
● In the passive voice, the subject is
acted upon by the object of the verb
or receives the action of the verb.
For example:
His fans carried Manny to the town plaza.
(active voice)
Manny was carried by his fans to the
town plaza. (passive voice)
 More examples
Through
group activity
In each group there will be
pairs of sentences, underline
the verb(s) and identify which
verbs are passive and which
are active. Then encircle the
noun that serves as the main
focus of each sentence.
Are you ready?
It is high time for the
group
Presentation…
 Changing sentences from
passive to active voice and
vice versa
In changing sentences from
active to passive and vice
versa these are the rules to be
followed:
1 Simply exchange the places of the
subject and the object. The subject
should become the object and vice-e-
versa while changing a sentence from
Active to Passive voice or reverse.
Active voice: She bought a new car. (She is the
subject and a new car is an object.)
Passive voice: A new car was bought by her. (A
new car is a subject and her is the object.)
2 Always blindly convert the main verb
into its past participle or third form while
converting from active to passive voice.
To remind you what the third form of a
verb looks like, let’s look at a few
examples:
First form Second form Third
form
Buy Bought
Bought
3 Always blindly convert the main verb
into its past participle or third form while
converting from active to passive voice.
To remind you what the third form of a
verb looks like, let’s look at a few
examples:
First form Second form Third
form
Buy Bought
Bought
4 The word ¨by¨ will be used before the
subject in passive voice. For example,
Rita sings a love song. (active voice)
A love song is sung by Rita. (passive
voice)
5 Change of tense of the auxiliary word:
Now when you change the verb form of
the main verb, the tense of the auxiliary
also changes accordingly. Let’s see this
with the help of a few examples:
5 Present tense
Active voice: Sun rises from the east.
Passive voice: East is where the sun rises from.

Past tense
Active voice: She walked my dog home.
Passive voice: My dog was walked home by her.

Future tense
Active voice: Sheena will do the craft work.
Passive voice: Craft work will be done by Sheena.
6 Other words such as ¨with¨ or ¨to¨ may
also be used instead of the word ¨by¨
depending upon the subject of the
sentence.
Examples:
1. I know him.
He is known to me.
2. Water fills a tub.
A tub is filled with water.
6 Sometimes you may completely omit
the subject from the passive voice if the
idea you are trying to convey is clear. You
just have to take a judgement call for
that. For example:
Active voice: Distance is measured in
kilometers.
Passive voice: Kilometres is a
measurement unit for distance.
