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.
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 :
- the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
- the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
- the subject of the active sentence becomes by Agent in the passive sentence (or is dropped)
- Only active sentence containing object which can be changed into passive form
- The two forms should have the same tenses
Formula
