• INTRODUCTION
PASSIVE SENTENCES ARE USED WHEN THE FOCUS IS ON THE ACTION OR THE
RESULT, RATHER THAN THE DOER OF THE ACTION. IN THIS PRESENTATION, WE
WILL DISCUSS PASSIVE SENTENCES IN SIX DIFFERENT TENSES.
• PASSIVE SENTENCE STRUCTURE
THE STRUCTURE OF A PASSIVE SENTENCE IS: OBJECT + BE VERB (IN THE
APPROPRIATE TENSE) + PAST PARTICIPLE (V3) + BY + SUBJECT (OPTIONAL).
• SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE
IN THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE, THE PASSIVE SENTENCE IS FORMED USING:
AM/IS/ARE + PAST PARTICIPLE (V3).
• SIMPLE PAST TENSE
IN THE SIMPLE PAST TENSE, THE PASSIVE SENTENCE IS FORMED USING: WAS/WERE
+ PAST PARTICIPLE (V3).
• PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE
IN THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE, THE PASSIVE SENTENCE IS FORMED USING:
AM/IS/ARE BEING + PAST PARTICIPLE (V3).
• PRESENT FUTURE TENSE
IN THE PRESENT FUTURE TENSE, THE PASSIVE SENTENCE IS FORMED USING: WILL
BE + PAST PARTICIPLE (V3).
• PRESENT PERFECT TENSE
IN THE PRESENT PERFECT TENSE, THE PASSIVE SENTENCE IS FORMED USING:
HAS/HAVE BEEN + PAST PARTICIPLE (V3).
• MODAL VERBS
MODAL VERBS (CAN, COULD, MAY, MIGHT, MUST, SHALL, SHOULD, WILL, WOULD)
ARE USED WITH THE BASE FORM OF THE VERB IN A PASSIVE SENTENCE.
 CONCLUSION
PASSIVE SENTENCES ARE USEFUL WHEN THE DOER OF THE ACTION IS NOT
IMPORTANT OR IS UNKNOWN. THEY ARE FORMED BY USING THE APPROPRIATE
FORM OF THE BE VERB AND PAST PARTICIPLE (V3). WE HAVE DISCUSSED PASSIVE
SENTENCES IN SIX DIFFERENT TENSES IN THIS PRESENTATION.
