- Explain the new lesson.
In active sentences, the subject of the verb is the person or thing doing the action:
Example: George found the wallet.
In passive sentences, the action is done to the subject. So the subject is somebody or
something to which something happens:
Example: The child was rescued by the police.
Note:
We often don’t use by+ the subject of first sentence if:
We don’t know who did/does it:
Example: Active: Someone has stolen my watch.
Passive: My watch has been stolen.
It’s obvious who did/does it:
Example: Active: The police arrested her last week.
Passive: She was arrested last week.
It’s not important who did/does it:
Example: Active: They are going to knock down the building.
Passive: The building’s going to be knocked down.
We usually use with when we talk about the things we use to do the action (such as tools and equipment).
Example: The wall was painted with a special paint.
When we talk about materials we usually use of.
Example: That table is made of wood.
