chapter 5 part 2 (passive voice)

Hello Everyone!

Back again with me karina and welcome to my blog. How are you today? I hope all of you guys still healthy in this moment. So, in this blog we will continue our discuss about Passive Voice. In the previous blog, I have explained the meaning, function, structure, examples, and more. In this blog, i will re-explain about those material. Now, let's check this out!

Passive Voice

As you know, passive voice is a type of sentence in which the subject is changed, which was originally at the doer to the recipient of the action. This kind of sentence focuses on the recipient of the action, not to the doer. So, in this sentence the subject of the sentence does not take action but receives action. At the end of the verb, usually end in -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne.

Passive sentences may not convey who the doers of the action are, for several reasons, such as not knowing who the doers are, not wanting to publish the doers, the doers being obvious, or being general. However, that doesn't mean we can't show who the doer is. We can write down the doer, so that the sentence becomes clearer

"This blog is written by me." "All the videos and most of the pictures in this blog were made from me." That's the example of the passive voice. Now i will remind you about the characteristic, formula and also the example of this sentence.

Formula :

Simple Present Tense, S + is/am/are + V3

Simple Past Tense, S + was/were + V3.

Simple Future, S + will be + V3

Simple Past Future, S + would/should + be + V3

Present Continuous, S + is/am/are + being + V3

Past Continuous, S + was/were + being +V3

Future Continuous Tense, S + will be + V3

Past Future Continuous Tense, S + would/should + be + V3

Present Perfect Continuous Tense, S + have/has + been + V3

Past Perfect Continuous Tense, S + had + been + V3

Future Perfect Continuous Tense, S + would + have + been + V3

Past Future Perfect Continuous Tense, S + would/should + have + been + V3
