1
What is the passive voice?
2
When do we use the passive voice?
3
And how can I easily change the active voice to the passive voice?
4
I'm Arnelle from Arnelle's Everyday English and today I'm going to answer these three questions step by step.
5
Today's lesson plan is what is the passive voice, the grammatical structure, when to use the passive voice,
6
plus an important study tip, transforming from the active to the passive.
7
Some sentences cannot be transformed into the passive.
8
I'll tell you why.
9
So there's going to be a lot of information in this lesson.
10
Get ready to take notes.
11
Let's begin.
12
What is the passive voice?
13
The passive voice is the opposite of the active voice.
14
Active.
15
Everybody loves chocolate.
16
Passive chocolate is loved by everybody active the lifeguard saved
17
a man passive a man was saved by the lifeguard active decorators are painting my house passive
18
my house is being painted okay here are three examples of the passive now Let's look at this grammar in more detail.
19
Step two, the grammatical structure.
20
When you form the passive, you need B plus a past participle.
21
Here are the forms of B.
22
There's a lot.
23
Am, are, is in the present.
24
Was, were in the past you can use being with perfect tenses
25
and being in continuous tenses you need a form of this plus
26
that past participle
27
which is verb number three eat ate eaten eaten is my past participle play played played played is my past participle
28
The three sentences from earlier, they all have be and that past participle.
29
So, let's compare two sentences.
30
This bottle of ketchup has already been opened.
31
I have been tired for weeks. Which sentence is passive?
32
Right.
33
The first one.
34
Why?
35
Because I have the B and the past participle.
36
In the second sentence, I have be, which is great, but I don't have a past participle.
37
Tired is an adjective, so that sentence isn't a passive.
38
So all of remember the passive has B and past participle.
39
Step number three.
40
Why do we use the passive?
41
1. When the action is more important
42
or interesting than the person who does the action one million
43
pounds were donated to the children's hospital wow one million pounds
44
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
45
active the prime minister donated 1 million pounds to the children's
46
hospital here wow it's the prime minister in the active sentence it's really important who does the action,
47
but in the passive that's not important.
48
Number two, the person who does the action is not known.
49
or not important.
50
This beautiful bridge was built in 1732. Who built the bridge?
51
It's not important or I don't know.
52
Active.
53
John Taylor Thomas built this bridge in 1732.
54
Imagine John Taylor Thomas is a famous architect, then that information is important.
55
In the passive, not important, in the active, important.
56
Number three, the person doing the action is obvious.
57
Bill was arrested last night.
58
Who arrested bill it's obvious the police arrested bill only the
59
police can arrest someone active the police arrested bill last night you could definitely say that it's just different emphasis
60
Number four, the object cannot do the action itself.
61
100 chocolate cakes were sold on Sunday.
62
Can a cake sell itself?
63
Of course not.
64
It needs to be the passive.
65
If you want to say who does the action, you can use an agent.
66
We form the agent using by plus person.
67
The agent is optional.
68
One million pounds were donated to the children's hospital by the Prime minister.
69
By the prime minister is optional information.
70
This beautiful bridge was built in 1732. By John Taylor Thomas.
71
That's optional information.
72
100 chocolate cakes were sold on Sunday by Jones's Bakery.
73
Again, optional information.
74
Important study tip!
75
In a newspaper, I want you to highlight any form of the passive you see.
76
I want you to ask yourself, why is the passive being used?
77
Is it reason 1, 2, 3, or 4?
78
You can also do this when you're watching a film.
79
Use the subtitles to help you.
80
Once you understand why the passive is being used, you can start using it confidently.
81
Step number four, transforming an active sentence to a passive sentence.
82
Active?
83
Apple sells thousands of iPhones every day.
84
How can I change this to the passive?
85
Remember, you need B plus past participle.
86
Thousands of iPhones are sold every day.
87
Do I want the agent?
88
Buy Apple?
89
Buy Apple is reason number three.
90
It's obvious.
91
Only Apple sells iPhones.
92
Apple sells thousands of iPhones every day.
93
Thousands of iPhones are sold every day.
94
Buy Apple.
95
Each tense has its own passive structure.
96
You need a list.
97
Here, I have a list of the tenses, and you can see that B and the past participle.
98
The tenses in red, present perfect continuous, past perfect continuous, do not have a natural a passive form.
99
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

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
