Introduction

In this lesson, I will teach about passive voice. The passive voice is used to show interest in the person or object that experiences an action rather than the person or object that performs the action. In other words, the most important thing or person becomes the subject of the sentence.

Procedures

1.     Active voice

A sentence generally begins with the performer of the action (subject), then the verb, them the object that the action is performed on. This is called an (Active Voice).

Example – Subject + Verb 3 + Object

If the begins of the sentence with the object or person that the action is performed on, we formulated a (Passive Voice).

Example – Object + Verb 3 + Subject

                  The room was cleaned by John

The passive is:

1.     Present simple – am/is/are +V3 ed/en

2.     Past simple – was/were +V3 ed/en

3.     Simple future – shall/will +be+V3 ed/en

Example;

Active voice                                                                     Passive voice

People never invite me to parties.                                   I am never invited to parties.
