simply added to spell the word correctly.

1. Forming the passive
A passive sentence, or passive voice as it is commonly called, is a construction in which
an intrinsically transitive verb is constructed in such a way that its underlying object
appears as its underlying subject being either absent or expressed by a prepositional
phrase using the preposition by (referred to as by phrase, here). Study the example
below.
Subject Verb Object /by phrase
Active 1.Andy Drives The bus
Passive 2.The bus Is driven By Andy
Active 3.Andy Is sleeping
Passive 4. None
Note that the change of an active sentence to passive one necessarily changes:
a. The order of the subject and object:
The object of an active verb becomes the subject of the passive verb. The bus in (1) becomes
the subject of the passive verb in (2). The subject of an active becomes the object of the
preposition by in the by phrase. Andy in (1) becomes by Andy in (2).
b. The verb form:
The verb form of a passive construction is: BE + PAST PARTICIPLE (V3).
c. Only transitive verbs (verbs that are followed by an object) are used in passive sentences. It
is not possible to use intransitive verbs (verbs that do not have an object), such as happen,
occur, sleep, come, etc. in the passive.
Exercise I

Example: 1. The book was bought yesterday P
2. Ann bought the book yesterday A

(b). UNO gave an award to Mr.Lee Either an indirect object or a direct object
Passive: (a). Mr. Lee was given an award by may become the subject of a passive sentence.
UNO. (a), (b), (c), and (d) have the same meaning.
(b). An award was given to Mr.Lee Note in (d): when the direct object becomes

direct object.
