Active and Passive Voice: Formation, Usage and BAC-Style Exercises — English — First Year Secondary — Algerian Curriculum

📘 Learning Objectives

  • Identify the difference between active and passive voice
  • Form the passive voice in different tenses
  • Know when to use the passive voice
  • Practice with BAC-style exercises

📝 Lesson Explanation

What is Active Voice?

In active voice, the subject performs the action.

Example: The student wrote the essay. (Subject = The student, performs the action)

What is Passive Voice?

In passive voice, the subject receives the action. The object of the active sentence becomes the subject.

Example: The essay was written by the student.

Formation of the Passive Voice

Passive = Subject + be (conjugated) + Past Participle (+ by agent)

Tense Active Passive
Present Simple write / writes am / is / are + written
Present Continuous am / is / are + writing am / is / are + being + written
Past Simple wrote was / were + written
Past Continuous was / were + writing was / were + being + written
Present Perfect have / has + written have / has + been + written
Past Perfect had + written had + been + written
Future (will) will + write will + be + written
Modal verbs can / must + write can / must + be + written

When to use the Passive Voice

  • When the agent is unknown: My phone was stolen.
  • When the agent is obvious: English is spoken in many countries.
  • When we want to focus on the action/result: The hospital was built in 2020.
  • In formal and scientific writing

Important Notes

  • Only transitive verbs (verbs that take an object) can be used in passive voice
  • The agent is introduced with “by”
  • The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
