    The document discusses the passive voice in English. It defines the passive voice as putting the object or receiver of the action in the subject position. It then provides examples of transforming active voice sentences into their passive voice equivalents in the present simple, past simple, negative, and interrogative forms. The key aspects are using the verb "to be" along with the past participle of the main verb and including the original subject as the agent with "by".

    The Passive Voice

    Cristina Morales Granado Curso 2011/2012

    What is a passive?
    A passive voice sentence puts the object or receiver of the action into the subject position.

    Passive voice
    (present simple)

    Affirmative sentences

    Active voice

    Alicia eats an apple


    receiver

    Passive voice

    An apple is eaten by Alicia

    How do we form the passive?


    Active voice:

    Subject + verb + object


    (Alicia) + (eats) + (an apple)

    Passive voice:

    subject + to be + past participle + by + agent

    Dont forget!!
    The verb to be ALWAYS has to appear in passive voice. The verb to be takes the same time that the principal verb has in active voice.

    Negative sentences

    Active voice

    Alicia doesnt eat an apple

    Passive voice

    An apple isnt eaten by Alicia

    How do we form the negative passive?


    Active voice

    Subject + not + verb + object


    Passive voice

    Subject + not (nt) + to be + past participle + by + agent

    Interrogative sentences

    How do we turn interrogative active into interrogative passive? Active voice


    Does Alicia eat an apple?
    STEP BY STEP
    1. Put in affirmative:

    Alicia eats an apple

    2. Now write it in passive voice:

    An apple is eaten by Alicia.


    3. Finally, put it into interrogative form.

    Is an apple eaten by Alicia?

    This is the passive form of: Does Alicia eat an apple?

    Now it is your time


    1. How do you transform from an active sentence in past simple to a passive sentence in past simple? Examples, try in affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences.

    Yes, you can!
