Learn English Grammar – Easiest way to convert Active voice to Passive Voice (simple present )

Learn English Grammar – Easiest way to c Active voice sentences to Passive Voice in simple present tense.

In this English Grammar lesson, you are going to learn how to make active voice sentences in the present tense into passive voice sentences. The active voice is used to give importance to the subject or the doer of the action and the passive voice gives importance to the object.

There are basic steps you follow to convert the sentences from active to passive.

Interchange the subject and object
Take the main verb in its past participle form.
Do not change the tense of the original sentence, so add an auxiliary verb.
Ensure the doer of the action does not change once the sentence is in the passive voice.

Example 01: Mother writes an email. (active)
An email is written by mother. (passive)

Example 02: Sam is fixing the computer. (active)
The computer is being fixed by Sam.

Example 03: John has helped Maria. (active)
Maria has been helped by John. (passive)

Example 04: Why does your brother sing such sad songs? (active)
Why are such sad songs sung by your brother? (passive)

Example 05: Who is doing the dishes? (active)
By whom are the dishes being done? (passive)

Example 06: Why have you called me here? (active)
Why have I been called here by you? (passive)

Hi Richa, addicted to your videos. Thanks for helping guys from third world countries like me with poor schooling come out of the phobia of English. I could manage to fill gaps as many as possible with every video of yours in a relatively short span. I believe that mastering a language is a lifelong process. Thanks for helping me out in my mission.

rachna ma'am,

When the by-agent is included in a passive sentence, and there is an adverb of time, is there a strict rule for the word order of the adverb of time? I.e.must the adverb of time come at the very end of the sentence (as long as it isn't at the beginning of the sentence)? Or can the position of the by-agent and the adverb of time be switched with no effect on the grammatical correctness of the sentence?

Here are example sentences:

a) The streets are cleaned by city workers every night.
b) The streets are cleaned every night by city workers.


Or should the adverb of time be placed at the beginning of the sentence to avoid the problem of "competing" with the by-agent entirely?
