4. The Passive.

The passive has a form of be + past participle. The form of be is the same as the tense in the active equivalent.

The Passive is used:

  • when it is not necessary to mention the doer of the action as it is obvious who he is/was/will be

  • when we don’t know, or don’t know exactly, or have forgotten, who did the action

  • when the subject of the active verb would be “people”

  • when we are more interested in the action than the person who does it.
