Active and passive voice
Brief summary
1. When do we use the passive voice?
Look at the following examples:
Trevor decorated this room yesterday. (active voice)
This room was decorated yesterday. (passive voice)
We use the active voice when we know who decorated the room. If we do not know it or we do not want to mention it, we use the passive voice.
2. How do we make the passive voice?
The passive voice is formed with the verb to be and the past partiple:
The car is broken.
It will be repaired.
It has been broken since we returned from holiday.
