Verbs 06 - Active and Passive Verbs
We have learnt that nouns and verbs, as vital parts of speech, are necessary to form sentences. If nouns name persons or things, verbs show action. Sentences have objects and subjects, and can be active or passive. But what is the difference? Let's find out!
An active sentence is formed when the subject does an action and the object receives it. A passive sentence differs in that the subject receives the action rather than performs it. Active and passive verb forms help in giving emphasis to the subject or object. Let's examine the following sentence:
'The maid washes the dishes.’ Here ‘the maid’ is the subject performing the action, ‘washes’ is the verb and ‘the dishes’ is the object receiving the action. Here, the subject is performing the action and hence the sentence is an active sentence. Now let's look at this sentence:
1 .
Choose the correct passive form of the sentence - "She and her mother cook the food" - from the four options given.
The food is cook by her and her mother.
The food is cooking by her and her mother.
The food is cooked by her and her mother.
The food is cooks by her and her mother.
Since the active form is in the simple present form, the passive form should also be in the simple present form. 'Cook' in active becomes 'is cooked' in passive. Note that though the subject is plural the object is singular and hence 'is cooked' is used rather than 'were cooked'. Also note that 'cook' is a regular verb
2 .
Choose the correct passive form of the sentence - "The carpenter will finish the work by Monday" - from the four options given.
The work will finish by the carpenter by Monday.
The work will be finish by the carpenter by Monday.
The work will be finished by the carpenter by Monday.
The work will finished by the carpenter by Monday.
Since the active form is in the simple future form, the passive form should also be in the simple future form. 'Will finish' in active becomess 'will be finished' in passive. Note that both subject and object are singular and 'finish' is a regular verb

The car is cleaned by him.
