PASSIVE VOICE

We only use the passive voice when we are more interested in the object or when we don’t know who did the action.

Example:

Many movies are made in Hollywood.

STRUCTURE
How to form a passive sentence when an active sentence is given?

As you can observe:


• The object of the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive sentence and the subject of the active sentence becomes object in the passive sentence.

• The structure of the verb is:

verb to be + past participle.


Examples:

1. Simple Present
