    This document discusses the passive voice and how to form passive constructions using modal verbs. It provides the following information: - The passive voice focuses on the recipient of the action rather than the performer. The performer is either omitted or specified using "by". - To form the passive with modal verbs, the auxiliary "be" is added after the modal in the sentence. For example, "A present will be given to you by me" rather than "I will give you a present". - Various tenses of the passive voice are formed by combining the auxiliary "be" with the modal (will, would, can, etc.) and past participle of the main verb. Rules for changing pronouns

    PASSIVE VOICE
    In Passive voice the sentence focus on object.
    who/what is receiving the action and not on
    who/what is performing the action.
    In passive voice, the actor of the of the verb (action) is
    either understood at the end of the sentence or
    maybe not told.
    The passive voice is used in writing facts, truth, lab or
    technical reports in which the actor is not important or
    unknown, but the action happening on the object is
    very important.
    Use of passive voice:
    1. It is used if it doesn‘t need to know or we don‘t
    know the actor performing the job
    2. In the end of the clause or sentence “by” is prefixed
    to know the actor performing the job.
    3. It is used if we are more interested in the job than
    the actors who work.
    Example :
    - The letter was written by John.
    - letter receives the action denoted by the write (verb)
    How to identify the active / passive voice.
    Ask who/what performed the action (verb)?
    If the ‘who or what is at the beginning of the sentence, the
    sentence is active voice

    Example :
    Jack is eating the apple.
    Question will be : Who is eating the apple?

    Look for the word “by”, if present it is passive voice.
