Passive Voice

 

Passive voice is a grammatical construction in which the subject of a sentence receives the action of the verb, rather than performing the action. In passive voice sentences, the focus is often on the action or the recipient of the action rather than the doer of the action.

The basic structure of a passive voice sentence is as follows:

[Receiver of the action] + [be verb (am, is, are, was, were, has been, have been, had been, will be, will have been, etc.)] + [past participle of the main verb] + [optional prepositional phrase or additional information].

Here are some examples of passive voice sentences:

1. Active: The chef prepared a delicious meal. Passive: A delicious meal was prepared by the chef.
2. Active: They are building a new bridge. Passive: A new bridge is being built by them.
3. Active: The book has inspired many readers. Passive: Many readers have been inspired by the book.
4. Active: The company will launch a new product next month. Passive: A new product will be launched by the company next month.

Passive voice is often used in various situations, such as when the doer of the action is unknown or less important, when the focus is on the action itself, or when the speaker/writer wants to emphasize the receiver of the action. However, it's important to use passive voice judiciously and not overuse it, as it can make sentences less direct and clear in some cases.
