VOICE (Active/Passive)
To understand active and passive voice we need to understand two things first.
1
What is a subject?
A subject shows(a) what the sentence is about, or
(b) who or what performs the action.
2
What is an object?
Apart from serving as subjects in sentences Nouns may also function as objects in sentences. Pronouns may
also serve as objects. Objects receive the action and usually follow the verb.
We simply add what to the verb and the answer we get is the object.
Eg Ravi threw stones in the water. (Ravi is the subject. Threw is the verb. Threw what? The answer is stones
which is the object.) Pronouns may also serve as objects.
Active and Passive Voice
In active voice sentences the sentence begins with the subject. But in passive voice the subject (Doer) is
towards the end of the sentence.
Where do we use passive voice?
1
When intentionally hiding the subject of sentence.
Example
Some chapters were not studied.
2
When passive voice better explain thought of sentence.
Example, to say, Milk is sold in litres is better than saying ,Shop keepers sell milk in litres
3
When something is done upon someone. When something happened with someone.
Example
You will be ruined if you continue gambling.
4
When what happened is more important than who did it.
Example
The strike was called off.
5
When subject is not exactly known. For example, His watch was stolen.
It is not known that who stole his watch, the subject (thief) is not exactly known so it is better to use
passive voice for such sentence.

Sometimes subject of sentence is not used in passive voice. Subject of sentence can be omitted in
passive voice, if without subject it can give enough meaning in passive voice.
Examples.
Active Voice: People did the work manually.
Passive voice: The work was done manually.
3rd form of verb (past participle) is always used as main verb in sentences of passive voice for all
tenses.
Auxiliary verbs are used in passive voice according to the tense of sentence. When changing from
active to passive and vice versa the tense does not change.
