Passive voice

Hi!
Today I'm going to talk about the passive voice.
Don't worry, it isn't so difficult! :)

The passive voice
·It's used when the subject doesn't do the action.
·We put the receiver of an action as the subject.
·We put the doer of an action as the object.

Ex:     People sell flowers
          Flowers are sold (by people) -> It isn't necessary if the subject it understand perfectly.

The form of the passive voice it's formed by :    BE + PAST PARTICIPLE


Verb time Active Passive
Present simple do/does is/are done
Present continous is/are doing is/are being done
Past simple did was/were done
Past continous was/were doing was/were being done
Present perfect has/have doing has/have been done
Past perfect had doing had been done
Simple future will do will be done
Perfect future will have do will have been done
Present conditional would do would be done
Perfect conditional would have do would have been done

Here you can practise this. Good luck!
