Passive Voice vs. Active Voice

In the active voice, the subject of the sentence DOES the action:

In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence is acted upon:

Notice that the object of the active sentence (letter) became the subject of the passive sentence. If we want, we can include "by Jake" to say who did the action.

We do not include "by..." when:

The doer of the action is The money was stolen.

The doer of the action is "people in general":
Black cats are believed to bring bad luck.

The doer of the action is completely unimportant:
This bridge was built in 1889. (probably by a construction company)

( Click here for more explanation and examples).

The passive voice is formed by a form of the verb TO BE + past participle of the main verb.

The form of the verb "to be" is the same as the form of the original main verb:

Structure of the passive voice

Here's how to form the passive voice for each verb tense in English.

Simple Present

Factory workers test the products.

General procedures & processes; general thoughts & opinions

The products are tested.

Simple past

An interior design company renovated our facilities last month.

Actions completed at a specific time in the past.

Our facilities were renovated last month.

Simple future

Everyone will exchange gifts at Christmas.
The company is going to implement the policy next month.

Actions to be completed in the future

Gifts will be exchanged at Christmas.
The policy is going to be implemented next month.

Present continuous

Teachers are using the new book
in their classrooms.

Actions currently in progress

The new book is being used in classrooms.

Past continuous

I spoke up when I saw that my manager was ignoring the safety regulations.

Actions in progress at a time in the past

I spoke up when I saw that the safety regulations were being ignored.

Present perfect

Somebody has eaten the last piece of cake.

Actions completed at an unspecified time in the past.

The last piece of cake has been eaten.

Past perfect

I discovered that someone had copied my brilliant idea.

An action that happened before another action in the past.

I discovered that my brilliant idea had been copied.

Future perfect

The store will have delivered the furniture by Friday.

An action that will happen before a date in the future

The furniture will have been delivered by Friday.

Note that the form of the verb "to be" is singular or plural depending on the new subject of the sentence:

Modal Verbs + Passive Voice

We can also add modal verbs to passive voice structures - typically:

Possibility:

Present: This recipe can be made with margarine instead of butter.

Past: He's very upset. He might have been fired from his job.

Past: That was very dangerous. You could have been killed!

Impossibility:

Present: Crops can't be grown here because the soil is too rocky.

Past: The work couldn't have been finished in a day. It was at least a week's worth of work.

Permission:

Positive: Photos may be taken during the performance.

Negative: Cell phones may not be used in the classroom.

Requirement:

Positive: The shipment must be delivered before the deadline.

Negative: These samples must not be exposed to contamination.

Advice:

Present: Something should be done about the problem.

Past: Something should have been done about the problem a long time ago.

Present: Criminals ought to be punished.
(we don't usually use "ought to have been" in the past; we prefer "should have been")

When can we use the passive voice?

Some teachers and writers say that the passive voice should always be avoided, but this is not true. Of course it is not good to use the passive voice too much, but it is perfectly acceptable to use it - especially in these four situations:

Use the passive voice when we don't know who did the action

A laptop was stolen from the classroom.

Three people have been killed in the park. Police are looking for clues to the identity of the murderer.

Use the passive voice when the person who does the action is "people in general"

Tino's is considered the city's best pizzeria.

Chinese is seen as a very difficult language to learn.

It was once believed that the sun revolved around the earth.

Use the passive voice when the person who does the action is obvious or unimportant

Use the passive voice when we want to give MORE emphasis to the receiver of the action than to the doer

Sometimes we do want to mention who did the action, because it is interesting or important in some way... but we still want to keep the primary focus of attention on the object of the action:

When can't we use the passive voice?

We can't use the passive voice with intransitive verbs (verbs that have no object):

He laughed. They're comingover.
An accident has happened. (laugh, come, happen = intransitive. There are no objects; therefore there is no possibility of making these sentences into the passive voice)

Can we use the passive voice with state verbs?

With state verbs, some of them can be used in the passive voice and others cannot.

Verbs that can be used in the passive voice include need, know, include, involve, love, hate, see, hear, feel.

Verbs that cannot be used in the passive voice include have (for possession), belong to, lack, resemble, appear, seem, look, be.

That cloud resembles a dragon.
A dragon is resembled by that cloud.

This task seems (no passive sentence is possible)

You can use the passive voice with transitive phrasal verbs:

Some phrasal verbs are intransitive. It is not possible to create sentences in the passive voice with these, because there is no object:

Summary: Passive Voice Lesson

In the active voice, the subject of the sentence DOES the action. In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence is acted upon.

The passive voice is formed by a form of the verb TO BE + past participle of the main verb. The verb TO BE can be conjugated in various tenses.

You can use a modal verb + be + past participle (for things in the present/future) - Ex) Something should be done about this problem.

You can use a modal verb + have been + past participle (for things in the past) - Ex) Something should have been done about this problem a long time ago.

The passive voice is used when the person who did the action is unknown, obvious/unimportant, "people in general," or less important than the object.

We can include "by... (the doer)" if we know who did the action and want to mention it because it is somewhat important.

We can't use the passive voice with intransitive verbs and some state verbs.

We can use the passive voice with transitive phrasal verbs.

Click here to download this explanation in PDF.
Reported Statements
When do we use reported speech? Sometimes someone says a sentence, for example "I'm going to the cinema tonight". Later, maybe we want to tell someone else what the first person said.

Watch my reported speech video:

Here's how it works:

We use a 'reporting verb' like 'say' or 'tell'. ( Click here for more about using 'say' and 'tell'.) If this verb is in the present tense, it's easy. We just put 'she says' and then the sentence:

Direct speech: I like ice cream.

Reported speech: She says (that) she likes ice cream.

We don't need to change the tense, though probably we do need to change the 'person' from 'I' to 'she', for example. We also may need to change words like 'my' and 'your'.

(As I'm sure you know, often, we can choose if we want to use 'that' or not in English. I've put it in brackets () to show that it's optional. It's exactly the same if you use 'that' or if you don't use 'that'.)

But, if the reporting verb is in the past tense, then usually we change the tenses in the reported speech:

Direct speech: I like ice cream.

Reported speech: She said (that) she liked ice cream.

* doesn't change.

Occasionally, we don't need to change the present tense into the past if the information in direct speech is still true (but this is only for things which are general facts, and even then usually we like to change the tense):

Direct speech: The sky is blue.

Reported speech: She said (that) the sky is/was blue.

Click here for a mixed tense exercise about practise reported statements.
Click here for a list of all the reported speech exercises.

Reported Questions

So now you have no problem with making reported speech from positive and negative sentences. But how about questions?

Direct speech: Where do you live?

How can we make the reported speech here?

In fact, it's not so different from reported statements. The tense changes are the same, and we keep the question word. The very important thing though is that, once we tell the question to someone else, it isn't a question any more. So we need to change the grammar to a normal positive sentence. A bit confusing? Maybe this example will help:

Direct speech: Where do you live?

Reported speech: She asked me where I lived.

Do you see how I made it? The direct question is in the present simple tense. We make a present simple question with 'do' or 'does' so I need to take that away. Then I need to change the verb to the past simple.

Another example:

Direct speech: Where is Julie?

Reported speech: She asked me where Julie was.

The direct question is the present simple of 'be'. We make the question form of the present simple of be by inverting (changing the position of)the subject and verb. So, we need to change them back before putting the verb into the past simple.
Here are some more examples:

Where is the Post Office, please?

She asked me where the Post Office was.

What are you doing?

She asked me what I was doing.

Who was that fantastic man?

She asked me who that fantastic man had been.

So much for 'wh' questions. But, what if you need to report a 'yes / no' question? We don't have any question words to help us. Instead, we use 'if':

Direct speech: Do you like chocolate?

Reported speech: She asked me if I liked chocolate.

No problem? Here are a few more examples:

Click here to practise reported 'wh' questions.
Click here to practise reported 'yes / no' questions.

Reported Requests

There's more! What if someone asks you to do something (in a polite way)? For example:

Direct speech: Close the window, please

Or: Could you close the window please?

Or: Would you mind closing the window please?

All of these requests mean the same thing, so we don't need to report every word when we tell another person about it. We simply use 'ask me + to + infinitive':

Reported speech: She asked me to close the window.

Here are a few more examples:

Please help me.

She asked me to help her.

Please don't smoke.

She asked me not to smoke.

Could you bring my book tonight?

She asked me to bring her book that night.

Could you pass the milk, please?

She asked me to pass the milk.

Would you mind coming early tomorrow?

She asked me to come early the next day.

To report a negative request, use 'not':

Direct speech: Please don't be late.

Reported speech: She asked us not to be late.

Reported Orders

And finally, how about if someone doesn't ask so politely? We can call this an 'order' in English, when someone tells you very directly to do something. For example:

Direct speech: Sit down!

In fact, we make this into reported speech in the same way as a request. We just use 'tell' instead of 'ask':

Reported speech: She told me to sit down.

Time Expressions with Reported Speech

Sometimes when we change direct speech into reported speech we have to change time expressions too. We don't always have to do this, however. It depends on when we heard the direct speech and when we say the reported speech.

For example:

It's Monday. Julie says "I'm leaving today".

If I tell someone on Monday, I say "Julie said she was leaving today".
If I tell someone on Tuesday, I say "Julie said she was leaving yesterday".
If I tell someone on Wednesday, I say "Julie said she was leaving on Monday".
If I tell someone a month later, I say "Julie said she was leaving that day".

So, there's no easy conversion. You really have to think about when the direct speech was said.

Here's a table of some possible conversions:

today

yesterday / that day / Tuesday / the 27th of June

yesterday

the day before yesterday / the day before / Wednesday / the 5th of December

last night

the night before, Thursday night

last week

the week before / the previous week

tomorrow

today / the next day / the following day / Friday

Here are our top tips for describing a photo or a picture in an exam.

Do:

Look at your picture carefully and take a few moments to think before you start talking.

Talk for all the time you are given. If you have one minute to do the task, use every second.

Practise the useful language below so you can explain which part of the picture you are talking about.

Don't:

Panic if you don't know the words for all the things in the picture. You don't need to know all the words for everything in the picture if you know what to say when you don't know an exact word.

Get distracted and start talking about something else. Focus on the photo or picture.

Panic if your mind goes blank. Take a deep breath, look at the picture and start again.

If you are asked to describe a photo or a picture in the exam, here is some language you can use:

What is in the picture?
In the picture I can see ...
There'The man is ...ing
The people are ...ing

The relative pronouns are:

We use relative pronouns to introduce relative clauses. Relative clauses tell us more about people and things:

Lord Thompson, who is 76, has just retired.
This is the housewhich Jack built.
Marie Curie is the womanthat discovered radium.

We use:

Two kinds of relative clause

There are two kinds of relative clause:

1. We use relative clauses to make clear which person or thing we are talking about:

Marie Curie is the woman who discovered radium.
This is the housewhich Jack built.

In this kind of relative clause, we can use that instead of who or which:

Marie Curie is the woman that discovered radium.
This is the housethat Jack built.

We can leave out the pronoun if it is the object of the relative clause:

2. We also use relative clauses to give more information about a person, thing or situation:

Lord Thompson, who is 76, has just retired.
We had fish and chips,which I always enjoy.
I met Rebecca in town yesterday,which was a nice surprise.

With this kind of relative clause, we use commas (,) to separate it from the rest of the sentence.
Level: intermediate
whose and whom

This is George, whose brother went to school with me.

We sometimes use whom as the object of a verb or preposition:

but nowadays we normally use who:

This is George, who you met at our house last year.
This is George's brother,who I went to school with.

Relative pronouns with prepositions

When or which have a preposition, the preposition can come at the beginning of the clause:

I had an uncle in Germany, from who(m) I inherited a bit of money.
We bought a chainsaw,with which we cut up all the wood.

or at the end of the clause:

I had an uncle in Germany, who(m) I inherited a bit of money from.
We bought a chainsaw,which we cut all the wood up with.

But when has a preposition, the preposition always comes at the end:

I didn't know the uncle that I inherited the money from.
We can't find the chainsawthat we cut all the wood up with.

when and where

We can use when with times and where with places to make it clear which time or place we are talking about:

England won the World Cup in 1966. It was the year when we got married.
I remember my twentieth birthday. It was the daywhen the tsunami happened. Do you remember the place where we caught the train?
Stratford-upon-Avon is the townwhere Shakespeare was born.

We can leave out when:

England won the World Cup in 1966. It was the year we got married.
I remember my twentieth birthday. It was the daythe tsunami happened.

We often use quantifiers and numbers with relative pronouns:

She has three brothers, two of whom are in the army.
I read three books last week,one of which I really enjoyed.
There were some good programmes on the radio,none of which I listened to.

Relative clause, czyli zdanie podrzędne w zdaniu złożonym podrzędnie przydawkowym (inna nazwa: zdanie przydawkowe lub zdanie względne), w którym zawarta jest informacja o danej osobie lub przedmiocie, np.

Wyróżnione zdania to właśnie relative clauses, które precyzują nam, o kogo chodzi lub co mamy na myśli.
2. Słowa kluczowe - zaimki względne
a) aby wprowadzić zdanie względne używamy najczęściej następujących słów:

play who(m)/that

który, która, które, którzy
(odnosi się tylko do ludzi)

play which/that

który, która, które
(odnosi się do przedmiotów, zwierząt i in.)

czyj, czyja, czyje, którego, której...
(używany do wskazywania przynależności)

Popatrzmy na przykłady:

a1) Kiedy można używać that ?

That może zastępować who, whom lub which, ale tylko w wypadku, kiedy nie występuje przed nim przecinek ani przyimek. Porównajmy przykłady, w których można stosować that z tymi, w których użycie that jest niedozwolone:

Najpierw sytuacje, w których możemy użyć that zamiast who, whom lub which:

Gdy mamy przecinki i przyimki (in, at, on, etc.) - dopuszczalna jest tylko wersja z who, whom lub which:

play The students, who are very intelligent, take part in the contest.

Studenci, którzy są bardzo inteligentni,biorą udział w konkursie.

Zasada jest taka, że dozwolone jest opuszczenie who, whom, which, that , o ile zaimek ten odnosi się do podmiotu, tylko do dopełnienia, czyli innymi słowy - who, whom, which, that można opuścić tylko wtedy, gdynie opisujemy wykonawcy czynności.

W praktyce wygląda to następująco:

play Is there anything that I could do for them?

lub

play Is there anything I could do for them?

Czy jest coś, co mógłbym dla nich zrobić?
(Tutaj that odnosi się do „czegoś", a podmiotem nie jest coś tylko ja, który mogę to coś zrobić.)

play The boy whom you tried to call was unavailable all week.

lub

play The boy you tried to call was unavailable all week.

Chłopak, do którego usiłowałeś się dodzwonić, był poza zasięgiem przez cały tydzień.
(You to podmiot, a whom odnosi się do chłopca.)

play She is the person who I am going to live with.

lub

play She is the person I am going to live with.

To jest osoba, z którą będę mieszkać.
(Who, czyli ona, ale ja będę mieszkać, czyli wykonywać czynność.)

ale nie można tych słów opuścić, gdy mamy do czynienia ze zdaniami takimi jak:

play The cat which sits on the sofa is very old.

Kot, który siedzi na kanapie, jest bardzo stary.

Przyimek w języku angielskim ma identyczne zastosowanie jak w języku polskim. Pozwala określić lokalizację przedmiotu, czas, miejsce lub pewien stan. Ułatwieniem jest to, że nie musimy zastanawiać się, jak połaczyć dany przyimek z rzeczownikiem odmienionym przez przypadki, bo przecież w języku angielskim przypadków nie ma! Zastosowanie przyimka staje się więc bardzo łatwe.

Żeby to zilustrować, spójrzmy na przykład:

Niekiedy przyimek pełni funkcję dopełniacza lub narzędnika, np.

Jedynym problemem przy nauce przyimków może być fakt, że przyimek angielski może, ale nie musi, odpowiadać różnym przyimkom w języku polskim i odwrotnie.

Prześledźmy to na kilku przykładach:

Najlepiej jest więc uczyć się przyimków w konkretnych zwrotach i wyrażeniach! W kolejnych zakładkach skupiamy się na poszczególnych przyimkach.

Saint Patrick's Day

By Dave Collett

St. Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. He was born in the fourth century and is famous for bringing Christianity into Ireland. St. Patrick's Day is a very well known Irish national holiday, which is celebrated not only in Ireland but all around the world. It falls on the 17th of March.

History of St. Patrick

St. Patrick was born to wealthy parents in the late fourth century. Until the age of 16, he thought of himself as a pagan. He was kidnapped and sold as a slave at this age by Irish marauders. It was during this capture that he turned to God.

He managed to escape after being a slave for six years and then studied in a monastery in Gaul for 12 years. This was when he knew that his 'calling' was to try and convert all the pagans in Ireland to Christianity.

St. Patrick went around Ireland founding monasteries and successfully converting people to Christianity. The Celtic Druids were very unhappy with him and tried to arrest him several times but he always managed to escape.

After 30 years of being a missionary in Ireland, he finally settled down in a place called County Down. He died on the 17th of March, AD 461.

Legend and Folklore

Shamrocks, leprechauns and the blarney stone are associated with St. Patrick's Day. Shamrocks are three-leaved clovers found growing in patches on grass. You are thought to be lucky if you find a four-leaved clover, so do keep it if you ever come across one!

Leprechauns are little Irish fairies, and they are thought to work as shoe-makers for other fairies. The Irish say that if a leprechaun is caught by a human, he will reveal where he hides his pot of gold. On this day, pictures of shamrocks and leprechauns are hung everywhere. Some people even dress up as leprechauns complete with their big green hats!

The village of Blarney is situated northwest of the Irish city of Cork. Blarney comes from the Irish word 'An blarna', meaning the plain. Blarney Castle is a very famous castle in this village and is 90 feet tall. The world famous Blarney Stone is on the top story. It is said that if one kisses this stone, one will be given the gift of eloquence, meaning to have beautiful speaking abilities. Nowadays, the word blarney means the ability to influence and coax with fair words and soft speech without offending.

Legend also says that St. Patrick could raise people from the dead. He is well-known for driving the snakes out of Ireland, although many people dispute how true this is! Another great story was how he used the shamrock, with its three leaves, to explain the Holy Trinity (the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost) to his followers.

What Do People Do on St. Patrick's Day?

St. Patrick's Day is celebrated world-wide with people dancing and singing in Irish pubs, watching the St. Patrick's Day parade, drinking 'green' beer, wearing green clothes and just generally having a good time. Children in Ireland have a tradition of pinching their friends who don't wear green on this day!

Traditional Food and Drink on St. Patrick's Day

Bacon and cabbage is what most people have on this day. Another popular dish is Irish soda bread and potato pancakes. Irish pub owners go crazy on this day, putting green food colouring into their beers and traditional Irish Guinness Stout is a sell out in all Irish pubs! People also drink lots of Irish coffee, which is made with warm whiskey, sugar, coffee and topped off with cream. Sounds delicious? It is!

Irish Proverbs

The Irish have many proverbs but here are some favourites.

Better the coldness of a friend than the sweetness of an enemy.

Be nice to them on the way up. You might meet them all on the way down.

Let your anger set with the sun and not rise again with it.

Irish Humour

The Irish are famous for their jokes and good nature. Here's an example:

Definition of an Irish husband:
He hasn't kissed his wife in 20 years but he will kill any man who does!

Now that you know almost everything about St. Patrick's Day, go out on March the 17th and enjoy yourselves! Why not try and spot a leprechaun or two to find your pot of gold...?

Whatever it may be, don't forget to wear green on this special day!
