Grammar review. The passive voice

Compare two sentences: We write dictations every week (Active Voice). Dictations are written every week. (Passive Voice).

Passive Voice is used to show what’s happening with a human being or thing; Active Voice – what a human being or thing is doing.

e.g. 1. Captain Cook discovered Australia in 1770.

subject predicate object

Australia was discovered by Captain Cook in 1770.

2. The teacher asks me every lesson.

subject predicate object

I am asked every lesson by the teacher.

Passive Voice is formed by means of the auxiliary verb ‘to be’ & Past Participle of the notional verb: to be + V3

We use the preposition ‘by’ to show who performs the action & the preposition ‘with’ to show the way it is performed.

e.g. Australia was discovered by Captain Cook.

The letter was written with a pen.
