Active and Passive Voice in English Grammar: Rules, Tense Charts, and Examples
 |
| Learn the difference between active and passive voice and how to transform sentences correctly. |
Imagine you are directing a blockbuster movie. 🎬🎥
You have a powerful spotlight on your movie set. Where you point that spotlight completely changes what the audience notices first:
- Point the spotlight at the hero throwing the punch, and the audience focuses on the action and the actor. 🦸♂️💥
- Point the spotlight at the villain tumbling backward into the water, and the audience focuses on the receiver and the dramatic result. 🌊😵
In English grammar, Voice is your director's spotlight.
When you choose between the Active Voice and the Passive Voice, you aren't changing the real-world facts—you are choosing who or what takes center stage in your sentence.
Look at how smoothly the focus shifts between the two lenses:
The brilliant scientist discovered a cure. 🔬 (Active — Spotlight on the scientist)
A cure was discovered by the brilliant scientist. 💊✨ (Passive — Spotlight on the life-saving cure!)
Whether you want to write thrilling stories with dynamic energy, craft objective and prestigious laboratory reports, draft tactful business emails, or ace your grammar exams, mastering Active and Passive Voice gives you total command over the tone and impact of your words. 🎯
Let's step onto the grammar stage, explore how voice works, and master every transformation pattern step by step! 🧱✨
What Is Voice in English Grammar?
In everyday conversation, the word "voice" refers to the sound that comes from your vocal cords. 🗣️ But in English grammar, Voice describes the special relationship between the verb, the subject, and the action.
Think of grammatical voice as a camera angle in filmmaking 🎥:
- Does the camera focus on the person performing the action (the Doer)?
- Or does the camera focus on the person or thing receiving the action (the Receiver)?
1. Active Voice (Focus on the Doer): The subject does the action.
The chef (Subject / Doer) baked (Action) the chocolate cake (Object / Receiver). 👨🍳🎂
2. Passive Voice (Focus on the Receiver / Result): The subject receives the action.
The chocolate cake (Subject / Receiver) was baked (Action) by the chef (Agent / Doer). 🎂✨
Notice something crucial: the real-world event didn't change at all! The cake was still baked, and the chef still baked it. What changed was which element took the spotlight as the grammatical subject.
Look at this sentence:
Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928. 🔬💊
Who is the grammatical subject, and is it performing the action or receiving it?
🔍 Check Your Answer
• Subject: Alexander Fleming
• Action: discovered
• Relationship: The subject directly performed the discovering! Therefore, this sentence is in the Active Voice. ✅
💡 Quick Tip: When analyzing any sentence, ask: "Is the subject DOING the action, or is the action BEING DONE to the subject?" That simple question immediately unlocks the voice!
Active Voice: What Is It?
A sentence is in the Active Voice when the subject of the sentence actively performs the action expressed by the verb. 🏃♂️⚡
Active voice is the default, most natural rhythm of English. It makes your writing direct, energetic, clear, and easy to follow.
Subject (Doer) + Action Verb + Object (Receiver)
Liam (Doer) + kicked (Action) + the soccer ball (Receiver). ⚽
The company (Doer) + launched (Action) + a new smartphone (Receiver). 📱
Birds (Doer) + build (Action) + intricate nests (Receiver). 🐦🪹
Why do professional writers, journalists, and storytellers love the active voice? Because it answers the most important question in storytelling right upfront: Who did it?
- Fast-Paced & Energetic: Moves straight from the agent to the action.
- Word-Efficient: Uses fewer helping verbs, keeping sentences crisp.
- Accountability & Transparency: Clearly states who is responsible for the action.
Which of these two sentences is in the Active Voice?
A) The hurricane damaged several coastal bridges. 🌀🌉
B) Several coastal bridges were damaged by the hurricane.
🔍 Check Your Answer
✅ A) The hurricane damaged several coastal bridges.
Explanation: The subject (The hurricane) is the active force performing the damage.
💡 Quick Tip: If your sentence starts with the person, animal, or force that actually powers the action, you are writing in the Active Voice! 🚀
Passive Voice: What Is It?
A sentence is in the Passive Voice when the grammatical subject receives the action instead of performing it. 🎯📥
In passive voice, the spotlight shifts away from the person doing the action and focuses entirely on the person, object, or result affected by the action.
Subject (Receiver) + Form of "To Be" + Past Participle (V3) + [by Agent]
The soccer ball (Receiver) + was kicked (Be + V3) + by Liam (Doer). ⚽
A new smartphone (Receiver) + was launched (Be + V3) + by the company (Doer). 📱
The ancient pyramid (Receiver) + was built (Be + V3) + thousands of years ago. 🏛️
Every passive verb phrase in English MUST contain two things:
1. A helping form of the verb TO BE (am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been)
2. The Past Participle (V3) of the main verb (e.g., written, eaten, repaired, discovered, built).
If either piece is missing, the verb cannot be passive!
Look at this sentence:
The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo da Vinci. 🎨🖼️
Identify the Subject, the 'Be' verb, the Past Participle (V3), and the Agent (Doer):
🔍 Check Your Answer
• Subject (Receiver): The Mona Lisa
• 'Be' Verb: was (Past tense)
• Past Participle (V3): painted
• Agent (Doer): by Leonardo da Vinci
The painting is the grammatical subject, but it didn't paint itself—it received Leonardo's brushstrokes! 🖌️✅
💡 The Zombie Test: Want a hilarious, foolproof way to test if a sentence is passive? Add the phrase "...by zombies" 🧟 after the verb! If the sentence still makes grammatical sense, it's passive!
The bridge was destroyed [by zombies]. (Makes sense → Passive! ✅)
The boy ate breakfast [by zombies]. (Nonsense → Active! ❌)
Active Voice vs. Passive Voice
To choose the right voice in your writing, it helps to see active and passive constructions side by side. ⚖️✨
| Feature | Active Voice 🟢 | Passive Voice 🟣 |
|---|---|---|
| Focus of the Sentence | The Doer performing the action | The Receiver / Outcome of the action |
| Subject's Role | Subject acts upon the object | Subject is acted upon |
| Sentence Structure | Subject + Verb + Object | Object as Subject + [Be + V3] + (by Doer) |
| Tone & Style | Direct, punchy, decisive, dynamic | Formal, objective, scientific, diplomatic |
| Example 1 | The fire department rescued the kitten. 🚒🐱 | The kitten was rescued by the fire department. |
| Example 2 | Engineers built the suspension bridge. 🌉 | The suspension bridge was built by engineers. |
| Example 3 | Shakespeare wrote Hamlet. 📜 | Hamlet was written by Shakespeare. |
Notice how active voice places the actor front and center, while passive voice puts the spotlight on the result.
Which voice provides greater directness and energy for a newspaper headline?
Option 1: Local Volunteers Cleaned the Riverbank 🌊🧹
Option 2: The Riverbank Was Cleaned by Local Volunteers
🔍 Check Your Answer
✅ Option 1 (Active Voice)
Explanation: Option 1 is shorter, punchier, and immediately honors the active heroes (Local Volunteers) doing the great work!
💡 Quick Tip: Active voice creates a sense of momentum, while passive voice creates a sense of observation. Choose based on what you want your reader to notice first!
The Basic Structure of Active and Passive Voice
When you transform an active sentence into passive voice, a fascinating grammatical dance takes place. 💃🕺
Let's look at the anatomical shift of the three main components:
Active: [Subject / Doer] ➔ [Verb] ➔ [Object / Receiver]
⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
Passive: [Object as Subject] ➔ [Be + V3] ➔ [by + Agent]
When personal pronouns switch positions between Subject (Nominative case) and Object (Objective case), their spelling changes:
| Subject Position (Active) | ➔ | Object Position (Passive 'by...') |
|---|---|---|
| I (I helped him) | ➔ | by me (He was helped by me) |
| We (We won the match) | ➔ | by us (The match was won by us) |
| He (He repaired the watch) | ➔ | by him (The watch was repaired by him) |
| She (She composed the song) | ➔ | by her (The song was composed by her) |
| They (They invited us) | ➔ | by them (We were invited by them) |
| You / It (You solved it) | ➔ | by you / by it (No change) |
Which passive sentence has the correct pronoun case?
A) The novel was read by he. 📖
B) The novel was read by him.
🔍 Check Your Answer
✅ B) The novel was read by him.
Explanation: After the preposition 'by', pronouns must be in the objective case (him, not he).
💡 Quick Tip: Only Transitive Verbs (verbs that take a direct object, like buy, paint, invite, write) can be converted to passive voice. Intransitive Verbs (verbs with no object, like sleep, arrive, die, laugh) cannot be passive!
How to Change Active Voice into Passive Voice
Ready for a foolproof conversion method? Follow this 4-Step Master Blueprint every time you convert an active sentence into passive voice! 🗺️📐
Step 1: Identify the Object and move it to the front.
Find the direct object in the active sentence and make it the new subject.
Active: Emma wrote a captivating story. ✍️ ➔ Passive start: A captivating story...
Step 2: Check the Tense and choose the right form of 'BE'.
Look at the original verb tense (wrote is Past Simple) and match it with the singular subject (story ➔ was).
Passive progress: A captivating story was...
Step 3: Convert the Main Verb into its Past Participle (V3).
The verb write / wrote becomes written.
Passive progress: A captivating story was written...
Step 4: Attach the original Subject with 'by' (or omit it if obvious/unimportant).
Emma becomes by Emma.
Final Passive: A captivating story was written by Emma. 📖✨
Transform this active sentence into passive voice:
The gardener waters the roses every morning. 🌹💧
🔍 Check Your Answer
1. Object to Subject: The roses (Plural)
2. Tense of 'be' (Present Simple plural): are
3. Past Participle (V3): watered
4. Agent + Time: by the gardener every morning
✅ “The roses are watered by the gardener every morning.” 🌹
💡 Quick Tip: Remember the 4-word mantra: Cross ➔ Be ➔ V3 ➔ By! 🎯
Passive Voice with Different Tenses
The single most important rule in passive voice is that the tense of the sentence never changes—only the form of the verb TO BE adjusts to reflect the tense! ⏰🧩
Here is your comprehensive master tense conversion chart across all standard English tenses:
| Tense | Active Voice (Doer + Verb) | Passive Voice (Be + V3) |
|---|---|---|
| Present Simple | She delivers the mail. ✉️ | The mail is delivered by her. |
| Present Continuous | She is delivering the mail. 📦 | The mail is being delivered by her. |
| Present Perfect | She has delivered the mail. ✅ | The mail has been delivered by her. |
| Past Simple | She delivered the mail. 📮 | The mail was delivered by her. |
| Past Continuous | She was delivering the mail. 🚚 | The mail was being delivered by her. |
| Past Perfect | She had delivered the mail. 📬 | The mail had been delivered by her. |
| Future Simple (will) | She will deliver the mail. 🗓️ | The mail will be delivered by her. |
| Future Perfect | She will have delivered the mail. ⏰ | The mail will have been delivered by her. |
| Going to (Future) | She is going to deliver the mail. | The mail is going to be delivered by her. |
English grammar avoids passive voice in four continuous tenses: Present Perfect Continuous, Past Perfect Continuous, Future Continuous, and Future Perfect Continuous.
Why? Because phrases like "will be being delivered" or "has been being delivered" sound extremely awkward and clunky! Standard English simply uses the simple or active form instead.
What is the passive form of: “The mechanics are repairing our car”?
A) Our car is repaired by the mechanics.
B) Our car is being repaired by the mechanics. 🚗🔧
🔍 Check Your Answer
✅ B) Our car is being repaired by the mechanics.
Explanation: The original sentence is in Present Continuous (are repairing), so the passive must use is being + repaired.
💡 Quick Tip: Whenever you see an -ing verb in the active voice (Continuous), make sure you include BEING in the passive voice! 🌊
Passive Voice with Modal Verbs
Modal auxiliary verbs (such as can, could, may, might, must, should, will, would, shall, ought to, have to) express ability, necessity, permission, advice, or possibility. 🛡️✨
Forming the passive voice with modal verbs is delightfully simple because modal verbs follow a predictable pattern!
1. Present & Future Modals:
• Active: You must wear a helmet. 🪖 ➔ Passive: A helmet must be worn.Modal + BE + Past Participle (V3)
• Active: Students can solve this puzzle. 🧩 ➔ Passive: This puzzle can be solved by students.
• Active: We should clean the park. 🌳 ➔ Passive: The park should be cleaned.
• Active: Citizens ought to obey traffic laws. 🚦 ➔ Passive: Traffic laws ought to be obeyed.
2. Past Modal Perfects (Modal + have + V3):
• Active: They should have notified us earlier. 📢 ➔ Passive: We should have been notified earlier.Modal + HAVE BEEN + Past Participle (V3)
• Active: Someone must have left this umbrella. ☔ ➔ Passive: This umbrella must have been left here.
Convert to passive: “Everyone must follow the safety guidelines.” 🦺
🔍 Check Your Answer
• Object: The safety guidelines
• Modal structure: must be followed
• Agent: by everyone
✅ “The safety guidelines must be followed by everyone.” 📋✅
💡 Quick Tip: Modal verbs never change their spelling in the passive! Simply place be + V3 directly after the modal verb.
Passive Voice with Questions
Turning active questions into passive questions might look intimidating at first, but it follows the exact same subject-verb inversion rules! ❓🔍
In active Yes/No questions, we often use Do, Does, or Did. In passive voice, these are replaced by the appropriate form of BE (Is, Are, Was, Were):
Active: Did Thomas Edison invent the lightbulb? 💡
Passive: Was the lightbulb invented by Thomas Edison?Active: Do they sell fresh mangoes here? 🥭
Passive: Are fresh mangoes sold here?
Standard WH-words stay at the very front of the sentence:
Active: Where did you find the ancient coin? 🪙
Passive: Where was the ancient coin found by you?
The Special 'Who' Rule: When active questions start with Who (asking for the subject/doer), the passive can start with By whom or end with by:
Active: Who composed this symphony? 🎵
Passive (Formal): By whom was this symphony composed?
Passive (Modern): Who was this symphony composed by?
Turn this active question into a passive question:
“Did the architect design the modern art gallery?” 🏛️
🔍 Check Your Answer
• Replace 'Did' with past singular 'Was'
• Object becomes subject: the modern art gallery
• V3: designed
• Agent: by the architect
✅ “Was the modern art gallery designed by the architect?” 🏛️🎨
💡 Quick Tip: Notice that auxiliary do/does/did disappear completely in passive questions, replaced directly by is/are/was/were!
Passive Voice with Negative Sentences
To make a passive sentence negative, simply insert the word NOT immediately after the first helping verb! 🚫🔒
Subject (Receiver) + Helping Verb + NOT + Past Participle (V3) + [by Agent]
• Active (Present Simple): Lucas does not lock the gate. 🚪
➔ Passive: The gate is not locked by Lucas.
• Active (Past Simple): The company did not approve the budget. 💰
➔ Passive: The budget was not approved by the company.
• Active (Present Continuous): The chef is not preparing dinner yet. 🍲
➔ Passive: Dinner is not being prepared by the chef yet.
• Active (Modal): You must not touch the artifact. 🏺
➔ Passive: The artifact must not be touched.
Convert to passive: “They have not delivered the new furniture yet.” 🛋️
🔍 Check Your Answer
• Object: The new furniture (Uncountable / Singular)
• Perfect passive negative: has not been delivered
✅ “The new furniture has not been delivered yet.” 🚚📦
💡 Quick Tip: Remember that 'furniture', 'information', 'advice', and 'news' are uncountable in English and take singular verbs (is not / was not / has not)!
When Should We Use Active Voice?
Most writing instructors, editors, and style guides advise writing in the Active Voice about 80–90% of the time. ✍️🌟
Why is active voice the heavyweight champion of communication? Here are the best situations to use it:
1. Storytelling & Narrative Action:
Active voice propels narratives forward with suspense and energy.
“The detective grabbed the flashlight and sprinted down the alley.” 🔦🏃♂️
2. Business Leadership & Executive Clarity:
Active voice demonstrates confidence, initiative, and clear ownership.
“Our team achieved all Q3 revenue targets ahead of schedule.” 📈
3. Instructional Writing & Manuals:
Clear commands tell the user exactly what action to take.
“Click the green button to download your certificate.” 💻
4. Conciseness & Economy of Words:
Active sentences cut out unnecessary helping words and fluff.
“The storm broke the window” (6 words) vs “The window was broken by the storm” (8 words).
5. Personal Essays & Speeches:
Builds an authentic, emotional connection with your audience.
“I learned an unforgettable lesson that afternoon.” 💭
Which sentence sounds more confident and decisive in a job interview cover letter?
A) During my internship, three successful marketing campaigns were managed by me.
B) During my internship, I managed three successful marketing campaigns. 💼🚀
🔍 Check Your Answer
✅ B is vastly superior!
Explanation: Sentence B highlights your personal initiative, leadership, and agency directly.
💡 Quick Tip: When you want your writing to sound alive, confident, and direct, choose the Active Voice!
When Should We Use Passive Voice?
Although active voice is preferred for general writing, Passive Voice is not an error—it is an indispensable tool with powerful, legitimate purposes! 🔬🏛️
Here are the 6 scenarios where passive voice is actually the superior choice:
1. The Doer is Unknown:
When nobody knows who performed the action.
“My bicycle was stolen last night.” 🚲 (We don't know who stole it!)
2. The Doer is Obvious or Unimportant:
When naming the doer adds pointless clutter.
“The bank robber was arrested.” 🚓 (Obviously by the police!)
3. Scientific & Academic Research:
In science, the experiment and results matter far more than who held the test tube.
“The chemical solution was heated to 100°C for twenty minutes.” 🧪🌡️
4. Diplomatic Politeness & Avoiding Blame:
When stating who made a mistake would sound rude, accusatory, or confrontational.
“An administrative error was made.” 🤝 (Much softer than “You made an error!”)
5. News Reports & Historical Milestones:
When the event itself is the biggest headline in the world.
“The peace treaty was signed in Paris.” 📜🕊️
6. Emphasizing the Receiver over the Actor:
When the recipient is famous or central to the topic.
“The president was welcomed by thousands of cheering citizens.” 🏛️🎉
Why is passive voice used in: “Wheat is cultivated in over one hundred countries”? 🌾
A) Because the writer made a grammatical error
B) Because the agricultural crop (wheat) is the central focus, and naming every farmer is impossible and unnecessary
🔍 Check Your Answer
✅ B is correct!
Explanation: The topic of the sentence is the crop (Wheat), making passive voice the natural and effective choice.
💡 Quick Tip: Use passive voice when WHAT happened is significantly more important than WHO did it. 🎯
Common Mistakes in Active and Passive Voice
Even advanced English learners make sneaky mistakes when working with voice. Let's explore the 5 most common traps and master how to avoid them! 🚫🛠️
Mistake 1: Trying to make Intransitive Verbs Passive
Intransitive verbs (verbs without a direct object) cannot be made passive!
❌ An accident was happened on the highway. 🚗💥
✅ An accident happened on the highway. (Active only!)
Mistake 2: Forgetting the Helping Verb 'BE'
❌ The bridge built in 1950. (This sounds like the bridge built something! 😂)
✅ The bridge was built in 1950. 🌉
Mistake 3: Using the Base Verb or Past Simple instead of V3 (Past Participle)
❌ The email was send yesterday.
✅ The email was sent yesterday. ✉️
Mistake 4: Subject-Verb Agreement Errors with 'BE'
Remember that the 'be' verb must agree with the NEW subject, not the original doer!
❌ The teacher corrected the tests ➔ The tests was corrected by the teacher.
✅ The tests were corrected by the teacher. 📝 (Tests is plural!)
Mistake 5: Pronoun Case Errors after 'by'
❌ The portrait was painted by she.
✅ The portrait was painted by her. 🎨
Identify and correct the mistake in this sentence:
“Three rare paintings was stolen from the gallery last night.” 🖼️
🔍 Check Your Answer
• Error: Subject-verb agreement with 'be'. Three rare paintings is plural, so it requires were, not was.
• Correction: ✅ “Three rare paintings were stolen from the gallery last night.” 🏛️
💡 Quick Tip: Verbs like appear, disappear, happen, occur, arrive, die, fall, sleep, and exist NEVER have passive forms!

Quick Review: Active vs. Passive Voice
Before testing your skills in the final challenge, let's review the fundamental pillars of active and passive voice on clean summary cards. 🧩
The subject is the agent or doer. Follows Subject + Verb + Object. Crisp, direct, and energetic.
The subject is the recipient. Follows Subject + [Be + V3] + (by Agent). Focuses on result or receiver.
Every passive verb requires two linked components: a conjugated form of BE + Past Participle (V3).
Only verbs that take a direct object can have a passive form. Intransitive verbs cannot be converted.
Use Active for storytelling, clarity, and directness. Use Passive for science, unknown actors, and diplomatic tact.
💡 Quick Tip: Keep these 5 pillars in mind, and you will navigate voice transformations with effortless confidence!
Key Points to Remember
Here are the essential golden rules of Active and Passive Voice to keep in your grammar toolkit forever! 🧰✨
1. Focus Dictates Voice: Active highlights the doer; passive highlights the receiver or result.
2. The Tense Stays Constant: When changing voice, never alter the time of the action. Only adjust the form of be.
3. Always Use Past Participle (V3): In passive voice, the main lexical verb is always in the V3 past participle form (eaten, driven, made, solved).
4. Continuous Tenses Need 'Being': If active has is/are/was/were + -ing, passive must have is/are/was/were + being + V3.
5. Modals Take 'Be' or 'Have Been': Modal present = modal + be + V3. Modal past = modal + have been + V3.
6. Pronouns Switch Cases: I ➔ by me, he ➔ by him, she ➔ by her, we ➔ by us, they ➔ by them.
Why is “The cake was ate by Oliver” grammatically incorrect?
🔍 Check Your Answer
Because ate is Past Simple (V2), but passive voice strictly requires the Past Participle (V3), which is eaten!
✅ “The cake was eaten by Oliver.” 🍰
💡 Quick Tip: Check your past participles when revising. Irregular verbs (write/written, break/broken, speak/spoken) are where most students lose points!
Final Thoughts
Active and Passive Voice are not opposing rivals in grammar—they are two complementary lenses through which you can view and describe the world. 🌍🔍
