passive and Active voice

Use of Passive

Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.

يستعمل المبني للمجهول عندما نركز على الحدث لا على الفاعل

 

مثلا

Example: My bike was stolen.

سرقت دراجتي

 

In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know, however, who did it.

في المثال بالأعلى .تم التركيز على الدراجة لان الفاعل غير معروف

 

Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following example shows:

في بعض الاحيان يستعمل المبني للمجهول بصيغة لاادب أو لتجنب الاحراج مثلا

 

Example: A mistake was made.

مثلا . ارتكب خطأ

 

In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone (e.g. You have made a mistake.).

هنا تم التركيز على أن الخطا قد ارتكب لكن بدون وضع اللوم على أحد

 

Form of Passive=المبني للمجهول

 

Subject + finite form of to be + Past Participle (3rd column of irregular verbs

صيغة المبني للمجهول

 

 

Example: A letter was written.

 

When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:

the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped)
Examples of Passive

Tense   Subject   Verb   Object
Simple Present   Active:   Rita   writes   a letter.
Passive:   A letter   is written   by Rita.
Simple Past   Active:   Rita   wrote   a letter.
Passive:   A letter   was written   by Rita.
Present Perfect   Active:   Rita   has written   a letter.
Passive:   A letter   has been written   by Rita.
Future I   Active:   Rita   will write   a letter.
Passive:   A letter   will be written   by Rita.
Hilfsverben   Active:   Rita   can write   a letter.
Passive:   A letter   can be written   by Rita.

Passive Sentences with Two Objects
Rewriting an active sentence with two objects in passive voice means that one of the two objects becomes the subject, the other one remains an object. Which object to transform into a subject depends on what you want to put the focus on.


   Subject   Verb   Object 1   Object 2
Active:   Rita   wrote   a letter   to me.
Passive:   A letter   was written   to me   by Rita.
Passive:   I   was written   a letter   by Rita.

As you can see in the examples, adding by Rita does not sound very elegant. That’s why it is usually dropped.

Personal and Impersonal Passive
Personal Passive simply means that the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. So every verb that needs an object (transitive verb) can form a personal passive.

Example: They build houses. – Houses are built.

Verbs without an object (intransitive verb) normally cannot form a personal passive sentence (as there is no object that can become the subject of the passive sentence). If you want to use an intransitive verb in passive voice, you need an impersonal construction – therefore this passive is called Impersonal Passive.

Example: he says – it is said

Impersonal Passive is not as common in English as in some other languages (e.g. German, Latin). In English, Impersonal Passive is only possible with verbs of perception (e. g. say, think, know).

Example: They say that women live longer than men. – It is said that women live longer than men.

Although Impersonal Passive is possible here, Personal Passive is more common.

Example: They say that women live longer than men. – Women are said to live longer than men.

The subject of the subordinate clause (women) goes to the beginning of the sentence; the verb of perception is put into passive voice. The rest of the sentence is added using an infinitive construction with 'to' (certain auxiliary verbs and that are dropped).

Sometimes the term Personal Passive is used in English lessons if the indirect object of an active sentence is to become the subject of the passive sentence.
