What is the passive voice?

When do we use the passive voice?

And how can I easily change the active voice to the passive voice?

I'm Arnelle from Arnelle's Everyday English and today I'm going to answer these three questions step by step.

Today's lesson plan is what is the passive voice, the grammatical structure, when to use the passive voice,

plus an important study tip, transforming from the active to the passive.

Some sentences cannot be transformed into the passive.

I'll tell you why.

So there's going to be a lot of information in this lesson.

Get ready to take notes.

Let's begin.

What is the passive voice?

The passive voice is the opposite of the active voice.

Active.

Everybody loves chocolate.

Passive chocolate is loved by everybody active the lifeguard saved

a man passive a man was saved by the lifeguard active decorators are painting my house passive

my house is being painted okay here are three examples of the passive now Let's look at this grammar in more detail.

Step two, the grammatical structure.

When you form the passive, you need B plus a past participle.

Here are the forms of B.

There's a lot.

Am, are, is in the present.

Was, were in the past you can use being with perfect tenses

and being in continuous tenses you need a form of this plus

that past participle

which is verb number three eat ate eaten eaten is my past participle play played played played is my past participle

The three sentences from earlier, they all have be and that past participle.

So, let's compare two sentences.

This bottle of ketchup has already been opened.

I have been tired for weeks. Which sentence is passive?

Right.

The first one.

Why?

Because I have the B and the past participle.

In the second sentence, I have be, which is great, but I don't have a past participle.

Tired is an adjective, so that sentence isn't a passive.

So all of remember the passive has B and past participle.

Step number three.

Why do we use the passive?

1. When the action is more important

or interesting than the person who does the action one million

pounds were donated to the children's hospital wow one million pounds

that's a lot of money this is very interesting who donated the money it's not important i'm interested in the information here

active the prime minister donated 1 million pounds to the children's

hospital here wow it's the prime minister in the active sentence it's really important who does the action,

but in the passive that's not important.

Number two, the person who does the action is not known.

or not important.

This beautiful bridge was built in 1732. Who built the bridge?

It's not important or I don't know.

Active.

John Taylor Thomas built this bridge in 1732.

Imagine John Taylor Thomas is a famous architect, then that information is important.

In the passive, not important, in the active, important.

Number three, the person doing the action is obvious.

Bill was arrested last night.

Who arrested bill it's obvious the police arrested bill only the

police can arrest someone active the police arrested bill last night you could definitely say that it's just different emphasis

Number four, the object cannot do the action itself.

100 chocolate cakes were sold on Sunday.

Can a cake sell itself?

Of course not.

It needs to be the passive.

If you want to say who does the action, you can use an agent.

We form the agent using by plus person.

The agent is optional.

One million pounds were donated to the children's hospital by the Prime minister.

By the prime minister is optional information.

This beautiful bridge was built in 1732. By John Taylor Thomas.

That's optional information.

100 chocolate cakes were sold on Sunday by Jones's Bakery.

Again, optional information.

Important study tip!

In a newspaper, I want you to highlight any form of the passive you see.

I want you to ask yourself, why is the passive being used?

Is it reason 1, 2, 3, or 4?

You can also do this when you're watching a film.

Use the subtitles to help you.

Once you understand why the passive is being used, you can start using it confidently.

Step number four, transforming an active sentence to a passive sentence.

Active?

Apple sells thousands of iPhones every day.

How can I change this to the passive?

Remember, you need B plus past participle.

Thousands of iPhones are sold every day.

Do I want the agent?

Buy Apple?

Buy Apple is reason number three.

It's obvious.

Only Apple sells iPhones.

Apple sells thousands of iPhones every day.

Thousands of iPhones are sold every day.

Buy Apple.

Each tense has its own passive structure.

You need a list.

Here, I have a list of the tenses, and you can see that B and the past participle.

The tenses in red, present perfect continuous, past perfect continuous, do not have a natural a passive form.

Don't try to form the passive using the red tenses.

100

Now I don't want you to think, oh there are so many structures for me to memorize.

101

step one you recognize the passive step two you understand the passive

102

and step three you use the passive whichever step you're on is fine

103

oh how are you feeling i hope you're feeling like this and not like this

104

I have one more important piece of information to tell you about the passive.

105

Intransitive verbs cannot be made into the passive.

106

What is an intransitive verb?

107

An intransitive verb does not have an object.

108

I bought a coffee.

109

Buy is a transitive verb.

110

It needs an object.

111

In this case, coffee.

112

I arrived late.

113

Here, arrived is an intransitive verb.

114

It doesn't need an object.

115

I arrived is fine.

116

There's no object needed.

117

It's intransitive.

118

So sentence number one, if I want to make it the passive, a coffee was bought.

119

Perfect.

120

Sentence number two, it's not possible.

121

In transitive verbs, no passive.

122

Fantastic, well done.

123

If you want a list of all the passive formations plus examples, you can go to my website.

124

I'll leave the link in the description for you.

125

There you have it.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
