Concept of Active and Passive Voice
We focus the action of the verb in the subject (active voice) or object (passive).
Examples:
Active Voice: The porter carries the bags. (the porter carries bags)
Passive Voice: The bags are Carried by the porter. (the bags are carried by the porter)
Grammar rules
The passive voice is formed using the verb to be + the main verb participle (past participle).

Uses of the passive voice
- We use the passive where you want to give importance to "what happened” rather than who did the
action.
example:
Her money was stolen. (his money was stolen)
- We also use the passive voice to keep the same subject in several sentences:
example:
I met that woman. I was surprised at how attractive she was ... (I met this woman.I was surprised how
beautiful she was.)
In this example the person is kept herself as a subject.
We also use the passive voice to describe scientific processes.
example:
‘The water is heated to a temperature of from 60 ° to 80 ° C. (Water is boiled at a temperature of between
60 to 80 degrees)
