Passive

Definition: (grammar) The passive voice of verbs.


Alright class, settle down now, letโ€™s take a look and see, At the word โ€œpassive,โ€ itโ€™s quite tricky, you agree? The dictionary tells us, with a helpful little plea, โ€œItโ€™s (grammar) the passive voice of verbs, for you to decree!โ€ Now, what does that really mean, let's break it down with glee? Think about sentences โ€“ how we often say them free. Like โ€œThe ball was kicked,โ€ or โ€œThe cake was made.โ€ See? Thatโ€™s the passive voice, a different way to be! Instead of saying "I kicked the ball," you shift the focus slight, Putting the action first, shining bright. The subject โ€“ what's being acted upon - takes center stage, it's true, While the doer of the deed, is less prominent too. Itโ€™s like a story told with a subtle, gentle grace, Where something happens, in its rightful place. Does that make sense to you? Any questions you might pose? Let's explore this concept, and watch your knowledge grow!

Passive participle, past participle

Definition: The passive participle is a verb that, when used as a complement to another noun or pronoun, modifies it in such a way that it becomes a part of an existing sentence, without being translated into the target language. In other words, it has its subject (the original noun) and its object (the modified verb). It can be either singular or plural. Passive participle is defined as follows: 1. Passive participle refers to the action that is performed by something, in this case a verb. 2. The passive participle is formed by modifying a verb by changing it from active to passive or vice versa. This change is achieved through adding -ing or -ed to the subject and -ing (in plural) to the object of the verb. For example: - The sentence "The dog barks" has a passive participle that modifies the verb "barks." - In the sentence "He drinks water," "drinks" and "water" are active verbs, but they have been transformed into "drink" as the subject. Passive particles can also be used to indicate how something happened in the past by using the present or future tense. - The sentence "I ate pizza at a restaurant yesterday" has a passive participle that indicates that an event (eating pizza) occurred during the writer's visit to the restaurant. - In the sentence "He bought books and went for a walk," "bought" and "books" are active verbs, but they have been transformed into "bought" as the subject.
