Active and passive voice

1. ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICE

2. ACTIVE VOICE In an active sentence, the subject is doing the action. A straightforward example is the sentence "Steve loves Amy." Steve is the subject, and he is doing the action: he loves Amy, the object of the sentence . The   active voice  is the "normal" voice. This is the voice that we use most of the time . You are probably already familiar with the active voice. In the active voice, the  object  receives the action of the verb .

3. TENSE SUBJECT VERB OBJECT SIMPLE PRESENT Charlie writes a letter. SIMPLE PAST Rita bought a shoes. They are reading a magazines. PRESENT PROGRESSIVE PAST PROGRESSIVE Carolina was working i n the hospital. PRESENT PERFECT PAST PERFECT He has taught Children. You had drunk a beer.

4. TENSE SUBJECT VERB OBJECT HILFSVERBEN She can write a book. FUTURE II We will have do Homeworks. They would read a magazines. CONDITIONAL I CONDITIONAL II Carolina w ould have work i n the hospital. FUTURE GOING TO I am going to buy a house. FUTURE I I w ill eat a hamburger.

5. PASSIVE VOICE Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action . Example: My bike was stolen . Subject + finite form of  to be  + Past Participle (3rd column of irregular verbs ). The passive voice indicates what happened to the object where the object is acted upon by an outside agent, which can be hidden or highlighted depending on the situation. The  passive voice is less usual. In the passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb.

6. TENSE SUBJECT VERB OBJECT SIMPLE PRESENT SIMPLE PAST A letter is written by Cristian. A shoes w ere bought by Claudia. PRESENT PROGRESSIVE PAST PROGRESSIVE A magazines a re being read by them. In the hospital was being work by Carolina. PRESENT PERFECT Children has been taught by him. PAST PERFECT A beer had drunk b y you.
