Passive voice is used for the purpose of narrating of something by a third person, rather than from the point of views of the persons involved.
The passive is often used when the person doing the action is unknown. For example "Many bikes have been stolen in the past three months." (We don't know who is stealing them).
Our has no bearing over whether a sentence is active or passive. It can be used in both. Active voice: A nice couple bought our house. Passive voice: Our house has been bought by a nice couple.
Yes, a transitive verb can be used in the passive voice. In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action rather than the doer. For example, "The book was read by the student."
The word yes is not normally used as a verb and would not have a passive voice. While she was being yesed by her child, her boyfriend walked over.
I suppose so. If you can say Most of the students flunked this test, then you might say This test was flunked by most of the students.
"Will you marry me" can be changed to passive voice as "Will I be married by you." In the passive voice sentence, the subject of the active voice becomes the object of the passive voice, and the object of the active voice becomes the subject of the passive voice.
Our has no bearing over whether a sentence is active or passive. It can be used in both. Active voice: A nice couple bought our house. Passive voice: Our house has been bought by a nice couple.
Active voice is much better than passive voice in writing.
Yes, a transitive verb can be used in the passive voice. In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action rather than the doer. For example, "The book was read by the student."
The passive voice of ''what do you do'' is "what is done by you?"
Active voice should be used instead of passive voice when the focus is on the subject performing the action, rather than the action being done to the subject.
"Your name is not known by me." is passive voice.
The word yes is not normally used as a verb and would not have a passive voice. While she was being yesed by her child, her boyfriend walked over.
I suppose so. If you can say Most of the students flunked this test, then you might say This test was flunked by most of the students.
Passive voice
Not all verbs can be used in passive voice. Only verbs that take an object can. Therefor "He goes to school" has no passive form.
"Will you marry me" can be changed to passive voice as "Will I be married by you." In the passive voice sentence, the subject of the active voice becomes the object of the passive voice, and the object of the active voice becomes the subject of the passive voice.
No, "I want my MTV" is in the active voice. "MTV is wanted by me" uses the passive voice, but it is very awkward and not something someone would actually say. The following example shows active and passive voice in expressions that are actually used: Active voice: We made mistakes. Passive voice: Mistakes were made.
