1 Some examples of passive sentences:
English is spoken all over the world.
This product was invented in Sweden.
2 We use this pattern to form the passive:
subject + be + past participle
(For details on forming past participles, see p. 14.)
3 The form of be is diferent for diferent verb tenses:
PRESENT SIMPLE PASSIVE
subject + am/is/are + past participle
Im employed by a big company.
PRESENT CONTINUOUS PASSIVE
subject + am/is/are + being + past participle
The road is being repaired.
PAST SIMPLE PASSIVE
subject + was/were + past participle
It was made in China.
PAST CONTINUOUS PASSIVE
subject + was/were + being + past participle
People were being interviewed.
PRESENT PERFECT PASSIVE
subject + has/have + been + past participle
He has been given a new job.
MODAL PASSIVE
subject + modal + be + past participle
Applications must be received before 12 May.
GOING TO PASSIVE
subject + am/is/are going to + be + past participle
Im not going to be chosen for the team.
Grammar in action
1 We use the passive when the person who does the
verb is not important or we dont know who does the
verb. The object of the verb is
more important, so it becomes
the subject of the sentence and
we use a passive verb:
The college was built in 1947.
(= Some people built the
college in 1947.)
Here, the college is the subject of the sentence
because the man is talking about the college. He
is not talking about who built the college, and he
may not know who built it. He uses a passive verb
because the college is not the subject of the verb (the
college did not build anything).
2 We often use the passive in formal contexts, such as
public information (rules, signs, brochures, etc.) and
media reports:
Cycling is not permitted in this area. (Cycling is the
subject of the rule, not who does not allow it.)
Bookings can be made online. (Bookings is the subject
of the sentence, not the people making them).
A A bad journey
Complete this story about a journey, using the past simple passive or past continuous
passive form of the verbs in brackets. You will need to use one past continuous
passive form and one negative form.

4 Here is a comparison between active and passive forms:
PRESENT SIMPLE
ACTIVE The price includes meals.
PASSIVE Meals are included in the price.
PRESENT CONTINUOUS
ACTIVE Police are interviewing a man.
PASSIVE A man is being interviewed by police.
PAST SIMPLE
ACTIVE He caused the problem.
PASSIVE The problem was caused by him.
PAST CONTINUOUS
ACTIVE People were repairing the road.
PASSIVE The road was being repaired.
PRESENT PERFECT
ACTIVE They have sold all the tickets.
PASSIVE All the tickets have been sold.
MODAL
ACTIVE You can buy this book in most bookshops.
PASSIVE This book can be bought in most bookshops.
GOING TO
ACTIVE The manager is going to choose the team
tomorrow.
PASSIVE The team is going to be chosen tomorrow.
5 We often use by after a passive verb form to say who
or what is the subject of the verb. We use by before
the agent (the person or thing that does the action):
The programme is watched by millions of people.
(= Millions of people watch the programme.)
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
(= An adult must accompany children.)
Grammar in action
3 We use the active or the passive depending on what
is the main topic we are talking about or what we are
most interested in. We use the active if the subject
of the verb is the main topic, and the passive if the
subject of the sentence is not the subject of the verb
because the subject of the verb is not important or
not known:
Lions live in parts of Africa and
southern Asia. They belong to the cat
family. Lions are hunted and killed
in some places. They can be seen in
many zoos.
Here, the topic is lions. Lions is the subject of live and
belong, and so those verbs are active. Lions is not the
subject of hunted, killed or seen other people hunt,
kill and see lions and so those verbs are passive.
4 We use by + agent after a passive verb when it is
important to say who does the verb because the
sentence would have no real meaning without this
information:
The painting Sunfowers was painted by Vincent Van
Gogh. It is a very famous painting.
In the example, the main topic is the painting it is
the subject of the next sentence. But the artists name
is important information. We use by + agent because
the sentence is about both the painting and the artist,
and the artist (the agent) is not the subject of the verb.

A What is crime?
Crime is activity which is against
the law: for example, if you steal
someones property, you are
committing a crime and breaking
the law. Some offences are only
minor, e.g. illegal parking; but for
more serious and especially violent
crimes, e.g. killing or attacking
someone, a person could go to
prison for a long time.
