PASSIVE VOICE
I/Passive voice (P.V): is usually to emphasize the result, the fact or the object of an action ,not the agent.
*P.V is used only with Transitive Verb
*P.V is used more commonly in written language , especially in the impersonal style of textbooks or report ( to describe an industrial and scientific process, to describe historical and social process or in official rules and procedures)
Ex :
The ore is usually dug out of the ground.
Applications should be made in writing.
II/Form
General form :
S+Vt+O ( Vt= transitive verb)
-->PV:S(o) + be + P(2)+ (by O)
NOTE:
*to be in passive sentence is always in the same forms and tenses & main verbs in the active sentence.
In P.V:
*To verb is changed into to be P(2)
*Verb is changed into be P(2)
*V-ing is changed into Being P(2)
*Modal verbs work in the same way :
S+ modal verb + Vt+ O
->P.V : S(o)+modal verb + be+P(2) + (by S)
Ex :
The windows in being painted .
The machine can be taken apart.
BASIC USES of passive voice
I/Agent and instrument:
*Agent : A person who does the action in the Passive sentence is called the agent
*Instrument : Things which cause something to happen in a passive sentence is called an instrument .
Ex:
I was hit by a branch ( The branch itself hit me)
Iwas hit with a branch ( Some one use a branch to hit me ).
II/Transitive and intrasitive verbs :
1/Transitive verbs are the verbs with object.
There are 3 kinds of Vt( verb transitive )
---[b]Memo-trasitive verbB] : verb with 1 object (read, write,...)
---Di-transitive verb :verb with 2 objects(give, bring,pay,hand,show...)
---Complex transitive verb
Ex:
I read the newspapers yesterday.
I gave her a present.
--All Vt.s can be made passive except :become, have, get, suit, fit, resemble.
2/Intrasitive verbs are verbs with no object :
Ex:
The baby is sleeping.
The bird flies.
3/Some verbs are both transitive and intransitive verbs . "run" for example :
Ex :
He ran a shop --> A shop was run by him .
He is running --> (no passive)
* In this case, we focus on transitive verbs
III/Cases of omitting the agent.
1/When the agent is general : people, they, you , we .
*When these sentences are made passive , these general agents can be omitted because they doesn't give more information .
Ex:
All over the world, people respect the knowledge
-->The knowledge are respected all over the world .
2/ When the agent is obivious :
*In Passive sentences , when all people understand who do/does the action, then there is no need to mention the agent again .
Ex : The criminal was arrested ( by the police)
3/When the agent is unimportant( we don't need to know about the agent)
Ex:
I was advised to worked harder.
4/When the agent is unknown ( we don't know anything about the agent)
Ex:
She was killed yesterday
5/When both speakers and listeners know the agent
Ex:
I was tested thoroughly.
6/When the speaker doesn't want to mention the agent. Then the agent is omitted.
Ex :
It has been agreed to increased the salaries by 5%
7/When the speaker want to focus on the action rather than the agent
Ex:
Mails are delivered to whom addressed
Verbs with 2 objects
-This kind of verbs can also be called the Verbs of giving because thet have the same pattern as " give"
-In this case, either of these objects can be the subject of a passive sentence
-We will use the object which we want to emphasize to be the subject of the passive sentence .
Ex:
The nurse gives the patient a sleeping pill
--> The patient is given a sleeping pill
--->A sleeping pill is given to the patient .
Other Verbs can be used in this pattern Cuối bài có file đính kèm 1 số động từ dùng như cách của động từ " give ")
Verbs with Object and Complement
-This kind of verbs is also called complex transitive verbs. There are some verbs such as: make , find.
Ex:.
*It made me ill
--> I was made ill
*People found he had died
--> He was found dead
Passive with " want" and "need"
-If the sentence follows the first structure , we have to make it passive like the second.
S+want/need+ O(1)+ to - infinitive+ O (2)
---> Passive : S+ want/ need+ O (2)+ to be Past participle + by O(1)
Ex : He wants her to take a photo
-->He wants a photo to be taken
