PASSIVE VOICE

PASSIVE VOICE

IT´S JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON SOMETHIG DIFFERENT.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST DON´T KNOW WHO DOES THE ACTION.

WHEN USE PRESENT SIMPLE IN ORDER TO MAKE IT PASSIVE, WE NEED TO USE THE VERB "TO BE"

THE OBJECT BECOMES THE SUBJECT OF THE SENTENCE.

THE SUBJECT GOES AT THE END OF THE SENTENCE AND IT´S PRECEDED BY THE WORD "BY"

EXAMPLE

THE GARDENER WATERS THE FLOWER.

ACTIVE FORM
