ACTIVE VS PASSIVE VOICE

what do we notice? 

EXAMPLE 1

The dog chases the cat

The cat is chased (by the dog)

EXAMPLE 2

The dog is chasing the cat

The cat is being chased (by the dog)

But... why?

- we focus on the action 

- we don't know who does the action

- it's not obvious who does the action

So that means...

Active voice: subject + verb + object

Passive voice: object + to be  + past participle + by subject

! to be in same tense as verb
