PASSIVE VOICE
If you want to change an active sentence into passive, that active sentence must have an object.
The basic pattern to make a passive sentence is BE + V3.
| Passive Form |
| | | BE | | V3 |
| Simple present tense | - | is, am are | - | V3 |
| Simple past tense | - | was, were | - | V3 |
| Present continuous, past continuous, ... | - | being | - | V3 |
| Present perfect, past perfect, ... | - | been | - | V3 |
| Modal auxiliary | - | be | - | V3 |
Here are the samples of sentences from active into passive:
ACTIVE SENTENCE |
Simple present tense: Every school holiday Doni visits his grandpa in village. Simple past tense: Last month Toni bought a Nokia 5800 express music. Present continuous: The students are reading the books in the library. Present perfect tense: Muthi has faced the final test, recently. Future tense: Next year I will join the speech contest on TV ONE. Modal auxiliary: We must finish our work in time.
