Changing active to passive voice formula and example?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can change the active voice to the passive voice by changing an object to a subject, as follows: let us say that your original sentence is Fred has eaten dinner. That is the active voice. Dinner is the object. In the passive voice dinner becomes the subject, so the sentence becomes, dinner has been eaten. Fred, the original subject, has disappeared. We no longer know who ate the dinner, we merely know that it has been eaten by someone. The passive voice is therefore distinguished by being less informative. It is used by people who are trying to evade responsibility for something, or to avoid being specific. Something happened but we can't say who did it.

AND

The form of passive is be + past participle

eg - been eaten, being eaten, was cooked, is cooked,

The passive allows us to leave the 'doer' of the verb out of the sentence. This is useful if the 'doer' is not important. eg

The Mona Lisa was painted in the 16th century.

If you want to say who does the action of a passive verb add by + pronoun / noun phrase at the end of the sentence. This is called the agent.

The dinner was eaten by Fred.

This is useful if you want to emphasis the agent eg

The painting is very valuable. It was painted by Van Gogh.

What part of speech is stressed in an iambic pentameter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

ANSWER:

To learn if your poem is in iambic pentameter, an understanding of iambic and pentameter is required.

Iambic:

To achieve the " iambic " you need a word that you choose not to emphasize followed immediately by a word that you choose to emphasize.

For example: the boy

To make ' the boy ' iambic, the word ' the ' must be spoken lightly [unemphasized] and the word ' boy ' must be spoken firmly [emphasized].

That is: the boy

Other examples: a lamb; my pie; yan-kee

Pentameter:

Place five iambics consecutively and you have pentameter.

Example of iambic pentameter from modified Shakespeare:

to be or not to be that is to see

to be / or not / to be / that is / to see

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

In the following sentence which word is the adverb We left our muddy shoes outside?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no adverb in this sentence. "Muddy" is an adjective, which modifies a noun. The only verb, "left" is unmodified. If you said, "We quietly left our muddy shows outside," then "quietly" would be an adverb, modifying the verb "left."

What is the noun form of professional?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The word 'professional' is both a noun and an adjective.

The noun 'professional' is a word for someone who has achieved a level of proficiency in a calling or trade; a word for a person.

I'm going to be a professional dancer when I leave school. (adjective)

What is the pronoun for the words The Team?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, the word 'team' is not a pronoun.

The word 'team' is a noun, a word for a group of people or animals, a word for a thing.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

A personal pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun for a specific person or thing.

The personal pronoun that takes the place of the noun 'team' is it.

Example:

The carriage was drawn by a team of horses. It was a team of two.

Although the noun 'team' is a singular noun, most people prefer to use the third person, plural personal pronouns (they, them), referring to the members of the team. It is grammatically incorrect, but most people prefer to use they and them.

Example:

We have a great team this year. They have won the first three games.
