1) Forming the passive
Subject verb object

ACTIVE: (a) Mary helped the boy.

Subject verb

PASSIVE: (b) The boy was helped by Mary.

In the passive, the object of an active verb becomes the subject of the passive verb: the boy in (a) becomes the subject of the passive verb in (b).

Notice that the subject of an active verb follows by in a passive sentence. The noun that follows by is called the ''agent''. In (b): Mary is the agent.

(a) and (b) have the same meaning.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ACTIVE (C) AN accident happened.
PASSLVE none

For m of the passive be +past participle
Simple present Mary helps the boy. The boy is helped by Mary.
Present continuous Mary is helping the boy the boy is being helped by Mary
Present perfect* Mary has helped the boy the boy has been helped by Mary
Simple past Mary helped the boy the boy was helped by Mary.
Past continuous Mary was helping the boy was helped by Mary.
Past perfect* Mary had helped the boy The boy had been helped by Mary.
Simple future* Mary will help the boy . The boy will be helped by Mary.
Be going to Mary is going to help the boy .The boy is going to be helped by Mary.
Future perfect* Mary will have helped the boy .The boy will have been helped by Mary.

Was the boy helped by Mary?
Is the boy being helped by Mary?
In the question form of passive verbs, an auxiliary Verb precedes the subject.


* The continuous forms of the present perfect, past perfect, future and future prefect are very rarely used in the passive.

2) Using the passive

a) Rice is grown in India.
b) Our house was built in 1980.
c) This olive oil was improved from Crete.

Usually the passive is used without a by-phrase. The passive is most frequently used when it is not known or not important to know exactly who performs an action.
In (a): Rice is grown in India by people, by farmers, by someone . it is not known or important to know exactly who grows rice in India. (a) , (b) and (c) illustrate the most common use of the passive, i.e., without the by-phrase.

d) Life on the Mississippi was written by Mark Twain.

The by-phrase is included only if it important to know who performs an action, as in (d), where by Mark Twain is important information.


e) My aunt made this rug. (Active)
If the speaker knows who performs an action, usually the active is used, as in (e).


f) This rug was made by man aunt.
That rug was made by my mother.
Sometimes, even when the speaker knows who performs an action, she / he chooses to use the passive with the by-phrase because she / he wants to focus attention on the subject of a sentence. In (f): The focus of attention is on two rugs.








3) Indirect objects as passive subjects

I.O. D.O.

a) Someone gave Mrs. Lee an award.
b) Mrs. Lee was given an award.

D.O. I.O.

c) Someone gave an award to Mrs. Lee.
d) An award was given to Mrs. Lee.


I.O.= indirect object; D.O. = direct object
Either an indirect object or a direct object may become the subject of a passive sentence.
(a), (b), (c) and (d) have the same meaning.
Notice in (d): When the direct object becomes the subject, to is usually kept in front of the indirect object.*

The omission of to is more common in British English than American English: An Award was given Mrs. Lee.


4) The passive form of modals and phrasal modals






The passive form: modal + be + past participle
a) Tom will be invited to the picnic.
b) The window can't be opened
c) Children should be taught to respect their elders
d) May I be excused from class?
e) This book had better be returned to the library before Friday.
f) This letter ought to be sent before June 1st.
g) Mary has to be told about our change in plans.
h) Fred is supposed to be told about the meeting.
The past-passive form: modal + have been + past participle
i) The letter should have been sent last week.
j) This house must have been built over 200 years ago.
k) Jack ought to have been invited to the party.




5) Stative passive
In (a) and (b): old and green are adjectives. They describe the door. In (c): locked is a past participle. It is used as an adjective. It describes the door. a) The door is old.
b) The door is green.
c) The door is locked.
When the passive form is used to describe an existing situation or state, as in (c), (f) and (i) it is called the ''stative passive.'' In the stative passive:
* no action is taking place; the action happened earlier.
* there is no by-phrase.
* the past participle functions as an adjective. d) I locked the door five minutes ago.
e) The door was locked by me five minutes ago.
f) Now the window is broken.
g) Ann broke the window yesterday.
h) The window was broken by Ann.
i) Now the window is broken.
Prepositions other than by can follow stative passive verbs. j) I am interested in Chinese art.
k) He is satisfied with his job.
l) Ann is married to Alex.
(m) through (p) are examples of idiomatic usage of the passive form in common, everyday English.
These sentences have no equivalent active sentences. m) I don't know where I am. I am lost.
n) I can't find my purse. It is gone.
o) I am finished with my work.
p) I am done with my work.
