English: Voice

·       What is voice?

            Voice is the form of verb indicates the relation between subject and event/ action.

In other words voice tells us about in which situation, which type of voice can use.

·       Types of voice?

            Two types are there. Active voice and Passive voice.

·       Why voice is introduced?

            Voice is introduced because it’s a set of rules in which we can say/ write same sentence in two forms. Ultimate meaning of both is same but difference is that:

1.     Active voice – Focus on subject in sentence.

2.     Passive voice – Focus on Object in sentence.

·       In which situations voice is used?

1.     If we want to tell something in perspective of subject, then we can use Active voice.

2.     If we want to tell something in perspective of object, then we can use Passive voice.

·        Active voice - Subject is more important than the action/Object.

            Syntax: - Subject + Verb + Object

          Ex: - Stealer stole my laptop.

·        Passive voice - Subject is either less important than the action itself or that we don't know who or what the subject is.

          Syntax: - Object + Helping Verb + Main Verb 3rd + by + Subject

            Ex: - My laptop was stolen.

 

·       Rules for passive voice:

1.      Replace Subject by Object.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


2.      In some of the situations (by word) and subject is not used.

              Ex: - Games was played.

 

3.      Main verb should be in 3rd form.

             Ex: - Mango is eaten by me.

 

4.      Use by (with, to according to sentence) whenever needed.

       Ex: - Glass is filled with water.
