    FUNCTIONS OF THE PASSIVE VOICE

    The passive voice is used to show interest in the person or object that
    experiences an action rather than the person or object that performs
    the action. In other words, the most important thing or person
    becomes the subject of the sentence.
    EXAMPLES
    •The passive voice is used frequently. (= we are interested in the
    passive voice, not in who uses it.)
    •The house was built in 1654. (= we are interested in the house, not
    in who built it.)
    •The road is being repaired. (= we are interested in the road, not in
    the people who are doing the repairs.)
    Sometimes we use the passive voice because we
    don't know or do not want to express who performed
    the action.

    EXAMPLES:
    •I noticed that a window had been left open.
    •Every year thousands of people are killed on our
    roads.
    •All the cookies have been eaten.
    •My car has been stolen!
    The passive voice is often used in formal texts. Switching to the active voice will make your writing clearer and easier to read.

    Waste materials are disposed of in a variety of The city disposes of waste materials in a


    ways. variety of ways.
    If we want to say who or what performs the action while using the
    passive voice, we use the preposition by. When we know who
    performed the action and are interested in him, it is always better to
    switch to the active voice instead.
