PASSIVE

The Object of the Active Voice sentence becomes the Subject of the Passive Voice sentence.

We have used ‘O’ to indicate the subject of the passive verb for convenience.

It is very easy to understand English Passive Voice because we always find V3 after ‘BE’ verb forms.

      Tense                         Pattern
Future Simple Tense       O + will + be + V3(by agent)

Present Simple Tense      O + is/ am/ are + V3(by agent)
Present Progressive Tense O + is/ am/ are + being + V3(by agent)
Present Perfect Tense     O + has/ have + been + V3(by agent)

Past Simple Tense         O + was/ were + V3(by agent)
She is painting the door.(Active Voice)


The door is being painted (by a painter). (Passive Voice)
Here we are not interested about the agent (Doer)

CAUSATIVE

We sometimes cause somebody to do something for us. Causing somebody to do something for us is expressed by using a sentence pattern with ‘GET’ or ‘HAVE’.

Pattern: S + get / have + O + V3 + (by agent)
