Title: Active Passive Verb Forms


1
Active / Passive Verb Forms
2
  • Sentences can be active or passive. Therefore,
    tenses also have "active forms" and "passive
    forms." You must learn to recognize the
    difference to successfully speak English.

Active Form
  • In active sentences, the thing doing the action
    is the subject of the sentence and the thing
    receiving the action is the object. Most
    sentences are active

4
Examples
  • The professor teaches the students.
  • John washes the dishes.

5
Passive Form
  • In passive sentences, the thing receiving the
    action is the subject of the sentence and the
    thing doing the action is optionally included
    near the end of the sentence. You can use the
    passive form if you think that the thing
    receiving the action is more important or should
    be emphasized. You can also use the passive form
    if you do not know who is doing the action or if
    you do not want to mention who is doing the
    action.
  • Thing receiving action be past
    participle of verb by thing doing action

Examples
