CHAPTER - 11
ACTIVE PASSIVE VOICE TRANSFORMATIONS
In
active voice, the subject acts: for example
The
scientist does the experiment.
In
Passive voice, the subject is the recipient of the action, for example
The
experiment is done by the scientist.
In
Impersonal passive voice, the doer of the action need not be men- tioned.
The
experiment is done.
What
is the difference between active and passive voice?
The
subject of the sentence is the doer of the action in active voice.
The
subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action in passive voice.
If
the doer is important, we use active voice.
If
the action is important, we use passive voice.
What
Is Active Voice?
The
simple voice when the subject performs the action.
Subject
+ Verb + object = active
Eg.
The dog + tore + the newspaper = active.
He
+ is listening to + you tube = active
He
+ sings = active voice without an object.
What
is Passive Voice?
It
is the opposite of active voice. The subject receives the action.
Eg.
The newspaper was torn by the dog. (Passive)
YouTube
is being listened by him. (Passive)
When
there is no object, it cannot be changed into passive voice since it is in
impersonal passive voice.
