  2. FORM OF THE PASSIVE VOICE PASSIVE VERB: SUBJECT + BE + PAST PARTICIPLE (3rd column Irregular Verbs/ -ed regular verbs) Examples:

  3. FORM OF THE PASSIVE VOICE • When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following: • the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence • the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle) • the subject of the active sentence becomes the agent of the passive sentence (or is dropped) and is introduced BY

  4. USE OF THE PASSIVE VOICE Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action. Example: My bike was stolen.

  5. PASSIVE VOICE withtwoobjects Rewriting an active sentence with two objects in passive voice means that one of the two objects becomes the subject, the other one remains an object. Which object to transform into a subject depends on what you want to put the focus on.

  6. Personal and Impersonal Passive • Verbs without an object (intransitive verb) normally cannot form a personal passive sentence (as there is no object that can become the subject of the passive sentence). If you want to use an intransitive verb in passive voice, you need an impersonal construction – therefore this passive is called Impersonal Passive. • Example: he says – it is said

  7. Personal and Impersonal Passive Impersonal Passive is not as common in English as in some other languages (e.g. German, Latin). In English, Impersonal Passive is only possible with verbs of perception (e. g. say, think, know). Example: They say that women live longer than men. – It is said that women live longer than men. Although Impersonal Passive is possible here, Personal Passive is more common. Example: They say that women live longer than men. – Women are said to live longer than men.
