Presentation on VOICE - English Grammar

1. CLASS - VII VOICE

2. Voice is the subject -verb relation in a sentence.   When the subject of the verb is the doer of the action, the verb is said to be in active voice. Example: The guru taught his student.   When the subject of the voice is acted upon, the verb is said to be in the passive voice. Example: The student was taught by his guru.      

3. Structure Structure of a sentence in the Active and Passive Voice: Subject+Verb+Object ( Active Voice)   Object+Verb+Subject ( Passive Voice)  

4. In the Active Voice, the subject is the doer of the action. In the Passive Voice, the object takes the place of the subject and receives the action. Passive Voice can only be formed when the verb takes an object

5. Rules of transformation from active voice to passive voice The object in the active voice becomes the subject in passive voice. The verb form changes as per the tense, normally auxiliary verb+ III rd form.   The subject in the active voice becomes the object (by +doer) in the passive voice.

6. TABLE OF TENSES

7. INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES Interrogative passive sentence, we ask question about a person or a thing. We use question words such as who, whom, what, when, where, how, and why.- Example - Who took the pen? (Active Voice) By whom was the pen taken? ( Passive Voice) If the active question start with words such as what, when, where, why, whose, and how the form does not change in the passive.

8. If we have an interrogative sentence with do, does, in the present tense, it is changed into passive voice by using am,is , are in the interrogative passive form. Example : Do students play football? (Active Voice) Is football played by students? (Passive Voice)
