Passives

This grammar has been studied by you, right?

What makes a sentence passive?

'to be' + past participle (volt. dlw) makes a passive sentence

Active: The teacher teaches the student.

Passive: The student is taught (by the teacher).

Active: The dog bit the man.

Passive: The man was bitten (by the dog).

Turning an Active sentence into a Passive sentence

- Identify the direct object and place it in front of the sentence.

- Determine the verb tense, add a form of to be and change the verb into a past participle (if necessary).

- Add the subject from the active sentence (the agent) in the by-phrase (if relevant).
