The passive voice.
Use of the passive.
• The passive voice is used when we say what
happens to people and things.
Form of the passive voice.
• When used the passive voice we need the verb to be and pas

• The verb to be write them in the same tenses that the verb in
the active.
• Present simple: eat/s ----- am/is/are eaten
• Past simple: ate ----- was/were eaten

• Past perfect: had eaten----- had been eaten
• Future with will: will eat---Will be eaten
• Going to: going to eat-----am/is/are going to be eaten
• Can: can eat----- can be eaten
• Must: must eat-----must be eat
• Should: Should eat----- Should be eaten
Active to passive transformation
• The rule general.
• In the active the object becomes the subject of the
passive and subject of the active becomes in the
object.
• We have two form the passive voice.
• 1possibility: In the active the indirect object becomes
the subject of the passive
• 2 possibility: In the active the direct object becomes
the subject of the passive.
• When we have in a sentence indirect and direct object
the form more usual is indirect object and the lass
usual is direct object.
