Use of PassivePassive 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.

In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know, however, who did it.

Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following example shows:

Example: A mistake was made.

In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone (e.g. You have made a mistake.).

Form of PassiveSubject + finite form of to be + Past Participle (3rd column of irregular verbs)

Example: A letter was written.

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 object of the passive sentence (or is dropped)

Examples of Passive

Tense Subject Verb Object

Simple Present Active: Rita writes a letter.Passive: A letter is written by Rita.

Simple Past Active: Rita wrote a letter.Passive: A letter was written by Rita.

Present Perfect Active: Rita has written a letter.Passive: A letter has been written by Rita.

Future I Active: Rita will write a letter.Passive: A letter will be written by Rita.

Hilfsverben Active: Rita can write a letter.Passive: A letter can be written by Rita.

Examples of Passive

Tense Subject Verb ObjectPresent Progressive

Active: Rita is writing a letter.Passive: A letter is being written by Rita.

http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/irregular-verbs

Past Progressive Active: Rita was writing a letter.Passive: A letter was being written by Rita.

Past Perfect Active: Rita had written a letter.Passive: A letter had been written by Rita.

Future II Active: Rita will have written a letter.Passive: A letter will have been written by Rita.

Conditional I Active: Rita would write a letter.Passive: A letter would be written by Rita.

Conditional II Active: Rita would have written a letter.Passive: A letter would have been written by Rita.

Passive Sentences with Two Objects 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.

Subject Verb Object 1 Object 2Active: Rita wrote a letter to me.Passive: A letter was written to me by Rita.Passive: I was written a letter by Rita..

As you can see in the examples, adding by Rita does not sound very elegant. That’s why it is usually dropped.

Personal and Impersonal PassivePersonal Passive simply means that the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. So every verb that needs an object (transitive verb) can form a personal passive.

Example: They build houses. – Houses are built.

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

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.

The subject of the subordinate clause (women) goes to the beginning of the sentence; the verb of perception is put into passive voice. The rest of the sentence is added using an infinitive construction with 'to' (certain auxiliary verbs and that are dropped).

Sometimes the term Personal Passive is used in English lessons if the indirect object of an active sentence is to become the subject of the passive sentence.

Notting Hill Carnival Level: lower intermediate

Questions on the text

On the last weekend in August, London is the scene of a very spectacular event - the Notting Hill Carnival. In 2004, the world's second largest carnival parade is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

The roots of Carribean carnival date back to the year 1833 when the Abolition of Slavery Act was announced in Trinidad. Celebrating their freedom, the black people of Trinidad took to the streets and had a great party with music and dance. The Carribean carnival was born.

When in the 1950s a huge number of West Indian immigrants came to London, they also brought their traditions and music. Faced with racism and unemployment, those immigrants dreamt of having a festival that would bring together the people from the Notting Hill area. So dances and other musical events were organised in North London. At the beginning, those events took place in various halls, but in 1964 the first street festival took place in Notting Hill. It was a great success, so the parade took place year after year attracting ever more participants and spectators.

The Notting Hill Carnival now takes place on three successive days (Saturday to Monday). It has become a true multi-cultural event and everyone is welcome to participate.
