Active / Passive Voice Form
In an active sentence, the subject is before the predicate (verb and object).
e.g. Global warming, deforestation, and pollution destroy the earth’s natural resources.
(Subject) (Verb) (Object)
In a passive sentence, the subject of the sentence is placed after the verb in the object position.
e.g. The earth’s natural resources are destroyed by global warming, deforestation, and pollution.
(Object in subject position) (Verb) (Subject in object position)
The passive voice is formed using the verb “to be” + the past participle.
Examples of the VERB “TO BE”: am, is, are, was, were, been, being
Examples of the PAST PARTICIPLE: seen, gotten, lived, worked, bought, taught, loved, caught, ect..
