CHAPTER 5 PART 3 : Passive Voice Conclusion

  PASSIVE VOICE Passive voice is a form of sentence where the subject of the sentence receives the action, not performs the action. Unlike the active voice which focuses on the party taking the action, this form focuses more on a party or object that receives the result of the action (the recipient of the action). Functions of the passive voice The passive voice is used to show interest in the person or object that experiences an action rather than the person or object that performs the action. In other words, the most important thing or person becomes the subject of the sentence. A passive contruction occurs when you make the object of an action into the subject of a sentence. That is, who ever or whatever is performing the action is not grammatical subject of the sentence.

In other words, the most important thing or person becomes the subject of the sentence. If we want to say who or what performs the action while using the passive voice, we use the preposition by. When we know who performed the action and are interested in him, it is always better to switch to the active voice instead. The structure : Object + Verb + Subject.
