Warming up by learning about Passive voice

What does the passive voice look like?

Compare these active sentences and passive voice sentences:

active: They ate bananas.

passive: Those bananas were eaten by them.

active:Wendy will sing a song.

passive: The song will be sung by Wendy.

Identifying S-V-DO

Only sentences which have a direct object can be made into passive voice sentences. Only verbs which take a direct object can be used in passive voice sentences. Let’s look at the sentences we saw above.

They ate bananas.

subject=they, verb=ate, direct object=bananas

Wendy will sing a song.

subject=Wendy, verb=will sing, direct object=a

song

You can probably identify the verb easily. The subject comes before (to the left of) the verb and the object comes after (to the right of) the verb.

Warming up by asking questions
