ENGLISH
ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICE
Voice refers to the form of a verb that indicates when a grammatical subject
performs the action or is the receiver of the action. When a sentence is written
in the active voice, the subject performs the action; in the passive voice, the
subject receives the action. In academic writing, it is generally preferred to
choose an active verb and pair it with a subject that names the person or thing
doing or performing the action. Active verbs are stronger and usually more
emphatic than forms of the verb "be" or verbs in the passive voice.

Active:
The award-winning chef prepares each meal with loving care.
Passive:
Each meal is prepared with loving care by the award-winning chef.

In the above example of an active sentence, the simple subject is "chef" and
"prepares" is the verb: the chef prepares "each meal with loving care." In the
passive sentence, "meal" is the simple subject and "is prepared" is the verb:
each meal is prepared "by the award-winning chef." In effect, the object of the
active sentence becomes the subject in the passive sentence. Although both
sentences have the same basic components, their structure makes them
different from each other. Active sentences are about what people (or things)
do, while passive sentences are about what happens to people (or things).

USING THE AUXILIARY VERB "BE"

The passive voice is formed by using a form of the auxiliary verb "be"
(be, am, is, are, was, were, being, been) followed by the past
participle of the main verb.

Active
He loves me.
We took our children to the circus.
Passive
A thief stole my money,

I am loved. The children were taken to the circus.


My money was stolen.
Notice how the "be" auxiliaries change the meaning of the verbs from action to
condition or from "doing" to "being."
He remembers his His grandmother is grandmother. ("he" is doing an action:
remembering)
His grandmother is remembered. ("she" is in a condition: being remembered)
In this way, the past participle functions very much like an
The woman is pretty. The woman is married.
adjective; it describes the subject. She is a pretty woman She is a married
woman.

VERB TENSES USED IN ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICE

The following is a summary of active and passive forms of all verb tenses.
Remember that in active forms the subject of the sentence is the person or
thing that does the action. In passive constructions, the verb is performed by
someone or something other than the subject; often, the action is done to the
subject by someone else.
Present Time
Simple Present
Use the simple present tense to make a generalization, to present a

there, and we wanted to improve our English too.

Ray's calculator was made in Germany.

When we do not wish to mention the doer of the action:


Many problems have been ignored for too long.

Direct and indirect speech


We often have to give information about what people say or think. In
order to do this you can use direct or quoted speech, or indirect or
reported speech.

Direct Speech / Quoted Speech


Saying exactly what someone has said is called direct speech
(sometimes called quoted speech) Here what a person says appears
within quotation marks ("...") and should be word for word.

For example:
She said, "Today's lesson is on presentations."
or
"Today's lesson is on presentations", she said.

Indirect Speech / Reported Speech

Indirect speech (sometimes called reported speech), doesn't use


quotation marks to enclose what the person said and it doesn't have
to be word for word.
When reporting speech the tense usually changes. This is because
when we use reported speech, we are usually talking about a time in
the past (because obviously the person who spoke originally spoke in
the past). The verbs therefore usually have to be in the past too.
For example:
Direct speech
"I'm going to the cinema", he said.
Indirect speech
He said he was going to the cinema.

As a rule when you report something someone has said you go back
a tense: (the tense on the left changes to the tense on the right)

Direct speech

She said, "I'm teaching English online."

! Note - There is no change to; could, would, should, might and ought to.

Direct speech
"I might go to the cinema", he said.
Indirect speech
He said he might go to the cinema.

You can use the present tense in reported speech if you want to say that
something is still true i.e my name has always been and will always be Lynne
so:-

Direct speech
She said her name was Lynne.
Indirect speech

"My name is Lynne", she said.


Or
She said her name is Lynne.

You can also use the present tense if you are talking about a future event.
Direct speech (exact quote)
"Next week's lesson is on reported
Indirect speech (not exact)
She said next week's lesson will be on reported speech.

Time change

If the reported sentence contains an expression of time, you must change it to


fit in with the time of reporting. For example we need to change words like
here and yesterday.
Expressions of time if reported on a different day

In addition if you report something that someone said in a different place to


where you heard it you must change the place (here) to the place (there).

where you heard it you must change the place (here) to the place (there).

"How long have you worked here?"

Reporting Verbs

Said, told and asked are the most common verbs used in indirect speech.
We use asked to report questions:
We use told with an object.
We usually use said without an object.
For example:
I asked Lynne what time the lesson started.
For example:
Lynne told me she felt tired.
For example:
Lynne said she was going to teach online.
If said is used with an object we must include to;
For example:
Lynne said to me that she'd never been to China.
There are many other verbs we can use apart from said, told and asked. These
include:
accused, admitted, advised, alleged, agreed, apologised, begged, boasted,
complained, denied, explained, implied, invited, offered, ordered, promised,
replied, suggested a thought.

Using them properly can make what you say much more interesting and
informative.

For example:
He asked me to come to the party:-
He invited me to the party.
He begged me to come to the party.
He ordered me to come to the party.
He advised me to come to the party.
He suggested I should come to the party.

Use of 'That' in reported speech

In reported speech, the word that is often used.


For example: He told me that he lived in Greenwich. However, that is optional.

WHAT IS A CONJUNCTION?
A conjunction is a word that connects elements of a sentence, such as words,
phrases, or clauses. The three types of conjunctions are: subordinating
conjunctions, coordinating conjunctions, and correlative conjunctions.

SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS

Website: progeniusstudents.com For Paid Classes WhatsApp: 03056306559

Subordinating conjunctions break sentences into word clusters called


dependent (or subordinate) clauses. Dependent clauses cannot stand alone
and must be connected to an independent clause to make a complex sentence.
Subordinating conjunctions connect the dependent clause to the independent
clause.
Everyone was happy when it stopped snowing.

Examples
We can go to the beach when it opens in June.
The baby always cries whenever his mother leaves the room.

Even if the movies are closed, we could still go to the mall. We could still go to
the mall even if the movies are closed.

COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS

Coordinating conjunctions are single words that connect similar parts of a


sentence, such as adjectives, nouns, and clauses. The acronym FANBOYS is
often used to refer to coordinating conjunctions.
For
And
Nor
But
Or
Yet
So
Examples
I am going on a cruise to Mexico, Jamaica, and Aruba.
I really want to go skiing, but there isn't enough snow on the slopes.
Meredith does not want an orange nor a grapefruit.
Danny would rather have a chocolate bar or hot cocoa than a granola bar.
Jenny could not find her notes last night, so she could not study for her test.
Her dress was blue and purple.

CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTIONS

Correlative conjunctions connect similar parts of a sentence, such as adjectives,


nouns, and clauses. However, unlike coordinating conjunctions, correlative
conjunctions are combinations of coordinating conjunctions, not only a single
word. They always come in pairs and link grammatically equivalent items.
As...as
Neither...nor
Whether...or
Examples

"The correlative conjunctions link two nouns, RU and JMU.
Molly nor Emma want to see the new Batman movie.
"
Neither The correlative conjunctions connect two pronouns, Molly and Emma.
To alleviate stress, you should not only identify the stressors but also find ways
of coping with them. "The correlative conjunctions link two clauses, identify
the stressors and find ways of coping.
"When using correlative conjunctions, be careful about parallel structure.
Notice in the above examples, items of the same part of speech are parallel.
