 Passive Voice
Passive voice definition: The passive voice is a style of writing where what would be
the object of a sentence becomes the subject of the sentence.

A. What is Passive Voice?

What does passive voice mean? The passive writing voice occurs when something
that is ordinarily “done by” the subject of a sentence is “done by” the object of
a sentence.

In the passive writing voice, whatever is doing the action of the sentence is not the
grammatical subject of the sentence.

Passive Voice Examples:

 The work was completed by Jaime.

Even though “Jaime” completed the work, “Jaime” is not the grammatical subject of
this sentence. The subject of this sentence is “work.”

In passive sentences, the thing that seems to be doing the action will be ordered
chronologically after the verb.

B. How is the Passive Voice Formed?

Passive construction: The passive writing voice is formed when what should be the
object of a sentence becomes the subject of a sentence.

To construct a sentence in the passive writing voice, the subject will be followed by a
“to be” verb with a past participle.

Examples of Passive Voice:

1. Start with active voice.
 Austin bought clothes.
 “Austin” is subject; “clothes” is object
2. The object becomes the subject.
 The clothes
3. Add “to be” and past participle
 The clothes were bought.
4. (Optional) Add original subject (and a preposition, when necessary)
 The clothes were bought by Austin.
 C. Passive vs. Active Voice: What’s the Difference?

The passive writing voice occurs when the action is done by what seems like it
should be the subject.

Active voice occurs when the subject “does” the action of the sentence.
