Passive Voice Explained
This page provides a comprehensive overview of the passive voice in English. It explains when to use passive voice, its structure, and provides examples in various tenses.
The passive voice is used when the focus is on the action rather than the doer. It's more common in formal language but also useful in everyday speech. The basic structure of passive voice is: Subject + To Be (in the appropriate tense) + Past Participle (V3).
Examples are given in different tenses, including Present Simple, Present Continuous, Present Perfect, Past Simple, Past Continuous, Past Perfect, and Future Simple. For instance, in Present Simple: "The window is cleaned every week."
Example: "A homeless shelter has just been opened in my town." (Present Perfect Passive)
The page also explains how to indicate the doer of the action by using "by" at the end of the sentence.
Highlight: To specify who performed the action in a passive sentence, add "by" at the end: "This blue T-shirt was stolen by my neighbour."
