example:
- - Active : We fertilize the soil every 6 months
- - Passive: The soil is fertilized by us every 6 months
- * The Object of the active voice (the soil) became the subject of the passive voice.
- * Subject of active voice (we) became the object of the passive voice. Note also that there is a change of subject pronoun 'we' becomes the object pronoun 'us'.
- * Verb1 (fertilize) in the active voice to be verb3 (fertilized) in passive voice.
- * The increase be 'is' in front of verb3. Be used is dependent on the subject is passive voice and tenses are used. (Note the passive voice patterns below).
- * Added word 'by' behind verb3. However, if the object of the passive voice is not considered important or not known, then the object is normally not expressed and so does the word 'by'.
- * For specific sentences progressive (present, past, past perfect, future, past, future and past future perfect continuous, need to add 'being' in front of verb3). If it's not added 'being', the tensis will change, not progressive/continuous again. Note the examples in points h - o below.
# If the active voice in simple present tense, then the 'be' passive voice is 'is', am or are.
example:
example:
- Active : He meets them everyday.
- Passive : They are met by him everyday.
- Active : She waters this plant every two days.
- Passive : This plant is watered by her every two days.
# If the active voice in simple past tense, then the 'be' passive voice is was or were.
example:
- Active : He met them yesterday
- Passive : They were met by him yesterday
- Active : She watered this plant this morning
- Passive : This plant was watered by her this morning
