THE PASSIVE VOICE: Level B
The Passive is used:
1.
when the agent (the person who does the action) is unknown, unimportant or obvious from
the context.
The robbers have been arrested.
2.
to make statements more polite or formal.
My new suit has been burnt.
3.
when the action is more important than the agent (in news reports, formal notices,
instructions, processes, headlines, advertisements etc.)
Bread is baked in an oven for about 45
minutes.
4.
to put emphasis on the agent.

NOTE:
-We use passive only with transitive verbs (verbs which take an object).

-In colloquial English we can use
get
instead of
be
to express something happening by accident.

(more usual than
”She was sun burnt last week”.)
-We use
by + agent
to say who or what did the action.
We use
with + instrument
or
material
to say what instrument or material the agent used.
The door was locked by the man with the key.
-We put the agent into the passive only if it adds information.
Hamlet was written by Shakespeare.
-After modal verbs (
will, can, may
etc) we use
be + past participle
or
have been + past participle.
They may close down the market The market may be closed down.
-With verbs that take two objects it’s more usual to begin the passive sentence with the person.
They sent a letter to him. He was sent a letter (more usual)/ A letter as sent to him. (less usual)
-
Make, hear, see, help
are followed by a
to-infinitive
in the passive.
They made me apologise. I was made to apologise.
-The verbs
believe, expect, feel, hope, know, report, say, think
etc can be used in the following
passive patterns:
It + passive + that clause
(impersonal construction)
Subject (person)+ passive + to-infinitive form
(personal construction
)
