When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:
| |||||||||||
| Agent In a passive clause, we usually use a phrase beginning with by if we want to mention the agent - the person or thing that does the action, or that causes what happens. Examples: My mother makes sandwich every morning. Subject verb1+s/es O C (adv. of time) Sandwich is made by my mother every morning. Subject to be+V3 Agent C (adv. of time) | |||||||||||
| present continuous : [ S + to be + being +V3 (past participle) present perfect: [ S + has/have + been + V3 (past participle) | |||||||||||
| present continuous | Active Passive | A young boy is catching a butterfly. A butterfly is being caught by a young boy. | |||||||||
| present perfect | Active Passive | Yano has returned the book to the library. The book has been returned to the library by Yano. | |||||||||
If you want to change an active sentence which has two objects into its passive forms, there are two ways:
| |||||||||||
| Examples: Active: | John is giving his girl-friend a bunch of flower. indirect object direct object | ||||||||||
| Passive: The indirect object as the subject | John’s girl-friend is being given a bunch of flower. | ||||||||||
| Passive: The direct object as the subject | A bunch of flower is being given to John’s girl-frie | ||||||||||
