As a screenwriter, I appreciate your helpful review of active versus passive voice. Active voice along with present tense works best in screenwriting because the narration portion of the script must be described in dynamic real time. Just as an audience watches a movie on the big screen, the screenwriter must write it as if it was happening in front of us. Passive voice and past tense sounds too draggy and novel-like for a screenwriter's purposes. Thanks for the punchy lesson.

What is the purpose of them? And why do we need to use passive and active, and those are deferent from tenses? Thank you
@gpknkee
@gpknkee 4 года назад
Here is simple understanding. :) verb-ing and verb past participle are adjectives. : verb-ing shows state of actively doing something. : verb p.p shows state of being result of past action by others when you use adjectives, you need be verb to complete the meaning of sentence. so, < subject+ be(verb) + adjective(kind of object of be) > structure is formed.

@InteractiveEng
@InteractiveEng 6 лет назад
Hi Abdollah. That's a great question. TO KNIT is an irregular verb. For the past simple & past participle, we can use knit/knitted. Both are okay. I think the -ed form may be more common in the US. So for example: Yesterday, I knit a sweater. / Yesterday, I knitted a sweater. Hope this helps! 😃👍

Very useful lesson, how can we find there is no object in PV
@InteractiveEng
@InteractiveEng 6 лет назад
Thanks for your comment. That's a great question. First, you can ask "Who?" or "What?" the subject is doing to determine if there's an object. If you can answer the question, then the answer is your object. For example: My best friend paints pictures --> What does my best friend paint? (pictures) / She helped me yesterday. --> Who did she help? (me). If there's an object, then we change it to passive. If the sentence is already in the passive voice, then we can change it to active. And the subject in the passive will be the object in the active voice. 😃

Hi my name is Selvin and I’ve been watching your videos for 2 months but I haven’t commented yet. I’ve been living in the USA for almost 2 years and my English is improving while I speak and I need to ask. Should I stop thinking about my first language to Learn more and more English?
@InteractiveEng
@InteractiveEng 6 лет назад
Hi Selvin. Thanks for commenting & checking out today's lesson. If you'd like to continue improving your English skills, I'd recommend continuous practice & study. So if you're living in the US, hopefully you're getting daily speaking practice. Then there's a lot of fun practice you can do on our own between reading & watching TV (I'd recommend using subtitles from time to time). The more exposure you have to the target language (English), the more you'll train your brain to start processing everything in English. Keep practicing & keep up the good work! 😃👍

@InteractiveEng
@InteractiveEng 5 лет назад
Hi Natalie. Thanks for commenting. Changing the simple future looks like this: He will take the bus. --> The bus will be taken by him. 👍 Truthfully, it's not often used unless when omitting the person/thing doing the action. For example, you may hear something like: The report will be submitted tomorrow. This would be a more common use. 😊
@isabelnavarro6611
@isabelnavarro6611 6 лет назад
Well explained and understood video - thanks loads - however why is passive voice 'formal' and active voice 'informal' ?? Thx
@InteractiveEng
@InteractiveEng 6 лет назад
Hi Isabel. Thanks for your comment. The passive voice has more authority & often used in formal texts because in some contexts the subject may be irrelevant. For example, writing down the steps of a complex procedure. It's not necessary to identify the person/scientist/researcher completing the action each time. Active is more common, easier to read, and therefore viewed as being less formal. 😃👍
@isabelnavarro6611
@isabelnavarro6611 6 лет назад

I have a question. If I said, "A Honda is what my friend drives", would it be considered as passive? Does passive voice strictly need to be with a past participle? Also if the statement isn't passive, what would it be categorised as? Or is that just plain bad English? Thanks

Thanks for commenting James. In your sentence, "...what my friend drives" is an adjective clause. So this is not the passive voice. The adjective clause in this case describes the car. 👍

Hi, teacher Wes. Can you correct me with few more sentences? 1. The pipe under the sink is leaking. Or The pipe under the sink was leaked. which one is correct? I'm thinking about the subject is unknown, maybe a very strange thinking. 2. My coffee cup is fragile. 3. My file folders have disappeared 4. My file folders have rearranged.

You would say "The pipe under the sink is leaking." or "The pipe under the sink was leaking." Both are active sentences in the continuous tense. 👍
