Active / Passive Verb Forms
Sentences can be active or passive. Therefore, tenses
also have "active forms" and "passive forms." You must
learn to recognize the difference to successfully speak English.
Active Form
In active sentences, the thing doing the action is the
subject of the sentence and the thing receiving the action is the object. Most
sentences are active.
[Thing doing action] + [verb] + [thing receiving
action]
Examples:
My boss made the
decision yesterday.
Doug coordinated the meeting in
Paul’s absence.
We proposed the change last
week.
The computer just crashed.
Passive Form
In passive sentences, the thing receiving the action
is the subject of the sentence and the thing doing the action is optionally
included near the end of the sentence. You can use the passive form if you
think that the thing receiving the action is more important or should be
emphasized. You can also use the passive form if you do not know who is doing
the action or if you do not want to mention who is doing the action.
[Thing receiving action] + [be] + [past participle of
verb] + [by] + [thing doing action]
Examples:
The decision was made by my boss yesterday.
The meeting was coordinated by Doug in Paul’s absence.
The change was proposed (by us) last week.
