PASSIVE VOICE TO ACTIVE VOICE
How to convert a sentence in the passive voice to Active Voice?
It is Simple. As usual, the subject becomes the object and the object becomes the subject.
If there is ‘being’ in the Passive Voice, the verb in the Active Voice should be a continuous tense (am writing, was writing etc).
If there is ‘been’ in the passive voice, the verb in the Active Voice should belong to the perfect Tenses (has done, had done, will have done etc).
If ‘being’ and ‘been’ are not there, the verb in the Active voice should be simple or Indefinite (do, did, will do etc.)
Every sentence should have subject, whether it is expressed or understood. In orders and requests the subject is always understood.
(you) come here
(you) please help me
But every sentence need not have an object. Only Transitive verbs will have objects.
Sometimes, a sentence in Passive Voice may have no object. We have to ‘create’ the subject which is understood.
My purse was stolen
My purse was stolen (by someone)
S V
Someone stole my purse
S V O
