', "The receiver of the action’ preferably becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence. © Dor may come in the end and essentially becomes the prepositional object, Example 1: Ali played a cricket match during the annual sports in the ground. ‘The sentence is Active because you don't find any of the three qualities given above, fxample 2: A cricket match was played by Ali during the annual sports in the ground. The sentence is Passive because you find all cf the three qualities given above, Example 3: Acricket match was played during the annual sports in the ground. Removing the doer from the sentence provides us the flexibility to hide the coer in so many cases of daily language use, and the same i the reason for the existence of passive voice. Example 4: He stole my purse. ‘The voice of the sentence is Active. A direct olame may spoil personal relations Example S: My purse was stolen. The voice ofthe sentence is Passive and the doer has been kicked out of the sentence to maintain sobriety. This impersonaiity trait becomas the rain motif behind the pessive voice constructions of any language. A direct blame may be avoldee to maintain personal relations, ntify whether the sentence is Active or Passive. It's none other than vero which helps you identify the voice. Example 1: He goes to school by bus. ‘active Voice Present indefinite / doer inthe stat/ "by 2s an eye catcher Example2: The dog was kicked by a stranger. Passive Voice Past Inde‘nte/ the receiver ofthe action i the subject of this sentence, Here Was is followed by the third form. in Active Voice we know “was' is followed by the present participle Verb Forth form | Example 3: On the grass was running a grasshopper. ‘Active Voice Past continuous [even though the doer isin the end). t's only the verb which identifies the sentence as AV or PY, 'M Hassan Sabir Identify the object of the AV sentence ; Example 2: | bought a book.
