PASSIVE SENTENCES
The queen ate a jam sandwich
Can you tell me what is the subject in
this sentence?
The queen ate a jam sandwich.
The queen is the subject of this
sentence.

This is an active sentence. The subject-the
queen ate a sandwich yesterday! The
most important thing in this sentence is
who ate the sandwich
People buy books in this wonderful shop
My mother painted her room last month
He will wash the car one day
I took the pictures with my camera
But we could change the sentence around.

The queen ate a jam sandwich
We could change the sense of the sentence by
saying...
The jam sandwich was eaten by the queen.
Which is the subject in this sentence?
The jam sandwich was being eaten by the queen.
This is a passive sentence. The subject-the jam
sandwich- is ‘suffering’ with the action of
the verb. It is not who makes the action . It
is being eaten!

• Perhaps this seems complicated!
– But it is not, you hear passive sentences all the time
– Mark was eating an apple
– The picture was painted by Tom
Are these sentences active or passive?
That’s right! This sentence is active.
Mark is actively eating the apple.The subject of the sentence is the
picture. The picture is having
something done to it.

Active Voice
Active voice is used to show that the subject of
the sentence is performing or causing the
action.
Example:
Lebron threw the basketball before the buzzer.
Lebron shot the basketball from the free throw
line.
Lebron scored three points.
Summing up

Passive Voice
Passive voice is used when the subject is the
recipient of the action.
Example:

Form of Passive Voice Verbs
 The passive voice requires a "double verb" and will
always consist of a form of the verb "to be" and the
past participle (usually the "en/ed/t" form) of another
verb.
 Example:
Active: John baked the bread.
Passive: The bread was baked by John. (Was is a
form of the verb “be”.)
 Review the forms of "to be":
 am, is, are, was, were, be,

Rewrite the following paragraph
in the active voice.
Last summer our house was painted by me. First, the
exterior was washed using warm water and a mild
detergent. Then all of the chinks in the walls were sealed
with putty. After the putty had had a chance to dry, the
exterior could be painted. A latex paint was used because it
is easy to apply and cleans up with water. A whole week was
needed to finish this part of the job. A color was used that
was very close to the original color. When the job was
finished, a great deal of satisfaction was felt by me. Even my
dad said that a good job was done.
