How to make Present Indefinite Passive Voice With Examples.

 PRESENT INDEFINITE TENSE PASSIVE VOICE

 (in Urdu we say: aa jata hai, ee jati hai, ay jate hain wagera.)

FORMULA: SUBJECT+ IS, AM, ARE + VERB (3^RD FORM) + BY + OBJECT

Remember:

1. IN PASSIVE VOICE WE ALWAYS USE VERB TO BE

2. PAST PARTICIPLE (3^RD FORM)

3. BY BEFORE OBJECT

4. TRANSITIVE VERB

5. WHEN YOU ARE CHANGING THE SENTENCES FROM ACTIVE TO PASSIVE CHANGE THE PLACES OF THE SUBJECTS.

For example:

I teach English (active)

English is taught by me. (Passive)

You can see in the above given sentences the subject “I” of the active sentence becomes the object “me” of passive sentence.

ACTIVE SUBJECTS	PASSIVE OBJECTS
I	ME
WE	US
YOU	YOU
THEY	THEM
HE	HIM
SHE	HER

NOTE: "BY" IS NOT NECESSARY FOR EVERY PASSIVE SENTENCE WHEN THE AGENT OR DOER IN NOT IMPORTANT. WE SPECIALLY MAKE SENTENCE WHEN WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE EVENTS LIKE:

WHAT HAPPENS IN BIRTHDAY PARTIES?

The venue is decided. The invitation cards are printed. The guests are invited. The cake is ordered. It decorated. The sitting arrangement is made. Candle is lighted. The cake is cut. The birthday song is sung. The gifts are given. The cake is served with other refreshment etc.

THERE ARE MANY MORE SENTENCES WE SPEAK EVERY DAY USING PASSIVE VOICE WITHOUT BY LIKE:

THE PATIENTS ARE TREATED IN THE HOSPITALS.

THE FOOD IS SERVED IS THE RESTAURANTS.

THE LAWS ARE MADE IN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

THE CLASSES ARE TAKEN IN THE COLLEGE.
