Passive Voice

I will explain about the passive voice here




Passive voice is the kinds of a sentences that used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.
Example: My bike was stolen.
In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen.
When you’re rewriting active sentences in Passive Voice, note to following :
  1. the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
  2. the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
  3. the subject of the active sentence becomes by Agent in the passive sentence (or is dropped)
  4. Only active sentence containing object which can be changed into passive form
  5. The two forms should have the same tenses
