Active / Passive Verb Forms
Sentences can be active
or passive. Therefore, tenses also have "active forms" and
"passive forms." You must learn to recognize the difference to
successfully speak English.
Active Form
In active sentences, the
thing doing the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing receiving
the action is the object. Most sentences are active.
[Thing doing action] +
[verb] + [thing receiving action]
Examples:
My boss made the decision yesterday.
Doug coordinated the meeting in Paul’s absence.
We proposed the change last week.
The computer just crashed.
Passive Form
In passive sentences,
the thing receiving the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing
doing the action is optionally included near the end of the sentence. You can
use the passive form if you think that the thing receiving the action is more
important or should be emphasized. You can also use the passive form if you do
not know who is doing the action or if you do not want to mention who is doing
the action.
[Thing receiving action]
+ [be] + [past participle of verb] + [by] + [thing doing action]
Examples:
The decision was made by my boss yesterday.
The meeting was coordinated by Doug in Paul’s absence.
The change was proposed (by us) last week.
