- We can use the passive with a modal verb.
We use a modal verb + be + past participle (V3)
e.g. Cars shouldn’t be parked there.
It can’t be done.
She must be told.
Present progressive – It is being made.
Present Perfect – Three people have been injured.
Past Progressive – It was being made.
Past perfect – It had been made.
Use.
· The passive is very common in English.
· We use it when we are more interested in the action than in who or what did it.
· If we want to show who or what does the action, we use by.
e.g. The term was coined by Vernandsky . The evidence is examined by forensic scientists.
· We usually use with when we talk about the thing we use to do the action (such as tools and equipment)
e.g. The wall was painted with a special paint.
When we talk about materials, we usually use of
e.g. That table is made of wood.
Look at this sentence:
Sandy broke the window yesterday.
Subject verb object
A sentence like this with subject +verb + object is called an active sentence or a sentence in the active voice.
· But we can turn it round, so the window comes at the beginning of the sentence. To do this we have to make it a passive sentence or put it into the passive voice.
There are five main steps:
1. Take the object of the first sentence and make it the subject our new sentence:
The window …
2. Add the verb to be in the same tense as in the active sentence (broke = past simple):
The window was…
3. Add the past participle of the verb in the active sentence
(broke broken):
The window was broken…
4. Add by + the subject of the first sentence (Sandy)
The window was broken by Sandy…
5. Finish off the sentence in the appropriate way.
The window was broken by Sandy yesterday.
· The passive is: noun/pronoun +be + past participle (by/with/of +noun)
14 (a) Match the form of the passive in each sentence with the name of the passive tense.
