ACTIVE VOICE AND PASSIVE VOICE

- REVIEW ACTIVE VOICE:

The Active voice focuses in THE SUBJECT and not in THE OBJECT of the sentence. In the active
voice you know who performs the action of the verb.

For example: “John painted the old house” John did the action.

- “Karen was preparing the juice fruit” = In this sentence, a person (KAREN) does something (was
preparing juice). We know who did the action.

- “They leave bicycles in the parking lot”. = Here, some people (THEY) do something (leave the bicycles
in the parking lot). We probably don´t know them, but we know that a group of people did the action.

- REVIEW PASSIVE VOICE:

The Passive voice is used when we want to focus on THE OBJECT of the sentence and not on THE
SUBJECT, because it’s not important or it is unknown.
Example: “The old house was painted” What matters is the action on the object, not the subject.

- “A chocolate cake was baked for my birthday party” = What matters here is that there is a cake for
the party; it doesn´t matter who did it.
- “The situation is being discussed in the meeting” = Here, what it is important is that the situation is
being discussed and not who are discussing about it.

- Thisis the process we do to change an active voice sentence into a

passive one:

(present simple)

(past simple)
FUTURE WILL

Active Voice I will write a long letter.

(future form)

Passive Voice A long letter will be written by me.

to be (future) past participle

LOOK AT THESE EXAMPLES:

The secretary prints the documents (Present Simple)

The documents are printed (by the secretary) Verb To be in Present Simple (are)

Dad washed the car. (Past Simple)

The car was washed (by Dad). Verb To be in Past Simple (was)
 My parents have booked a flight. (Present Perfect)

A flight has been booked (by my parents). Verb To be in Present Perfect form (has been)

Sally is drinking a cup of tea. (Present Progressive)

A cup of tea is being drunk (by Sally). Verb To be in Progressive form (is being)
