Show transcript
There are different tenses and ways of forming verbs in English.
In the passive voice, the verb is 'done to' the subject.
The passive voice allows the speaker or writer to sound more detached from the sentence content than the active voice.
The active voice is the most frequently heard, spoken and written voice in English.
A clause in the passive voice contains two verbs: an auxiliary verb from the infinitive 'to be' and the past participle.
