Passive and Active Voice:The Rules
To be able to understand passive and active voice, you need to havea good understanding of subjects, verbs and objects within sentences.
The bunny appeared from the hat.
The subject is who or what we are talking about in the sentence, i.e. the bunny is what we are talking about.
The verb is the doing word (appeared).
The object is the thing the verb is working on or acting upon. In this case, the hat.

Active Voice: The RulesIn English, active sentences are used much more often than passive sentences. In active sentences, the subject performs the action (the verb) to the object.
The family boarded the plane.
The boy ate the broccoli.

The plane is now the subject but is receiving the action.
Passive Voice: The RulesIn passive sentences, the word order is reversed. The subject receives the action and the object is performing it.
The plane was boarded by the family.
The verb ‘boarded’now comes after a past tense form of the auxiliary verb ‘to be’, e.g. was or were.
The family are still performing the verb but the preposition word ‘by’ is added to show this.

Passive Voice: The RulesThe same happens in this passive sentence. The subject receives the action and the object is performing it.
The broccoli was eaten by the boy.
The broccoli is now the subject but is receiving the action.
The verb ‘was’ is used again but this time ‘ate’ is changed to the past participle ‘eaten’.
The boy is still performing the verb but the preposition work ‘by’ is added to show this.

Passive Voice: The Tricky BitSome passive sentences don’t say who or what is doing the actionof the verb to the subject. The object is missing but the sentence still makes sense.
The motorcycle was ridden.
The subject is the mortorcycle.The verb was done to the subject but we don’t know by whom or what.
The subject is ‘it’ – a pronoun.
Again the verb was done to the subject but we don’t know by whom or what.
It was stolen.
