PASSIVE VOICE

1. Form: be + past participle (P2)

Ex: The plants are watered by Jack everyday.

       The report was published last week.

2. Uses: We use the passive voice when the person or thing that does the action is unknown, unimportant, obvious from the context or we don’t want to say who does the action. We focus on the action itself.

Ex: My wallet was stolen yesterday. (unknown agent)

      The house is cleaned twice a week. (unimportant agent)

      The thief was arrested. (by the police-obvious agent from the context)

REMEMBER:

+ Adverb of place + by + object + adverb of time

Ex: The police found the missing painting in Jack’s house yesterday.

-> The missing painting was found in Jack’s house by the police yesterday.

+ If the subject in the active voice is one of the following words: people, one, someone/somebody, they, he, etc. , it is not changed into the object in the passive voice.

Ex: They hold the World Cup every four year.

-> The World Cup is held every four year.
