Passive voice: a scheme to never forget it

[bitheerani319]

If you're studying English, you've probably already encountered the passive voice . It's not a particularly complicated structure, but it's often one of the grammar points that causes problems. The reason is the change in the verb when you go from the active voice to the passive voice .



Passive voice
We use the passive when we want the sentence to focus on the object uae phone number list than the subject, as is usually the case. The subject is the element that performs the action, and the object is the element that is affected by said action.

In the active voice:
The dog chased the cat . The central part of this sentence is the verb, « chased ». The subject, that is, the one who performs the action, is « the dog ». And finally, the direct object that is affected is « the cat ».
In the passive voice:
The cat was chased by the dog .
« The cat » has become the subject of the action « be chased ».
The structure is as simple as this: change the position of each element in the sentence and the verb is modified, just like in Spanish. If it is precisely the verb that is giving you problems, the diagram below will be useful.
