English Grammar: The Passive Voice & When to Use It (ESL/EFL)

In English, the subject of a sentence is usually an actor that is doing an action. For example: The boy brokethe window. In this sentence, the boy is the actor who did the action (breaking). The object of the sentence (the window) is what receives the action.The sentence is about the subject (the boy), which is more important than theobject of the verb (the window). This is an active sentence, which is also called the active voice. The Passive Voice: "The window was broken by the boy." In a passive sentence, the situation is the opposite. We move the object of the verb ( window) to the beginning of the sentence, so it can become the subject. This is how we build a passive sentence: Subject ( The window)+ BE verb ( was) + past participle ( broken) [+ by actor ( by the boy)]* * the phrase by the boyis optional. Why do we use the passive voice?There are several reasons . Here are four of them. Reason #1: The object of the verb is more important. (Passive Voice): A body was found in the park.

We movethe object of the verb to the beginning of the sentenceso it can become the subject: A body was found in the park (by the police) . In this sentence, you probably don't even need to say "by ...
