Voice vs. Tense Voice means the way an action verb relates to its subject. Active voice the subject of the sentence does the action in the verb. The batter hit the ball. Subject: batter Verb: hit Object: ball
Voice vs. Tense In passive voice, the subject is acted upon by the verb. The ball was hit by the batter. The original subject of the verb in active voice, the batter, comes after the verb. Subject: ball Verb: was hit Agent: by the batter
Voice vs. Tense In the passive sentence, the subject of the active sentence can also disappear. The ball was hit. Subject: ball Verb: was hit Agent:??? (it s a mystery) the read has to figure out who hit the ball
Voice vs. Tense Tense refers to time when did the action happen? Passive voice can occur in past, present, and future. Negative: place not after the first verb. Cooper has not been caught. Use present or past progressive passives to describe actions in progress (not finished) at a certain time. The suspect is being held in prison. (in progress) The robbery occurred while the money was being taken to a bank. (in progress)
Form: Be + Past Participle
Verb Tenses in Passive Voice Future 'going to' Active: My mother is going to wash my clothes. Passive: My clothes are going to be washed by my mother. Future progressive Active: My mother will be washing my clothes Passive: My clothes will be being washed by my mother. Future perfect progressive Don t usually use the future progressive or future perfect progressive in passive voice. Active: My mother will have been washing my clothes. Passive: My clothes will have been being washed by my mother.
Direct vs. Indirect Object In these examples, the direct object became the subject. However, the indirect object can also become the subject. Direct object = what? Indirect object = to whom or for whom? The F.B.I. gave the money. The money was given by the F.B.I. The F.B.I. gave Cooper the money. Cooper was given the money by the F.B.I.
Why Use Passive Voice? When you don t know who performed the action (agent) or when it is not important to say who. The money was stolen. Angelina is loved. When you want to avoid mentioning the agent. All the cake was eaten. The vase was broken. When you want to focus on the receiver or the result of an action instead of the agent. The coffee was made by Louise. (emphasis on receiver) The thief was caught by the detective. (emphasis on result)
Using a by phrase = AGENT Use a by phrase when the agent is important To introduce new information about the agent The money was stolen by a person who has a criminal record. Angelina is loved by Brad Pitt. To give credit to the agent The cake was made by Mary. The vase was fixed by Tom. When the agent is surprising All the cake was eaten by the dog. The money was found by a little boy.
