What are the active and passive voices in English? We use the active voice in a sentence when the subject performs a verb. For example: “Jim wrote a letter”. We use the passive voice when the subject is acted on by the verb. For example: “The letter was delivered by the postman”. Now, when should you use which voice? That is the question! In this English grammar lesson, I will teach you about using the active and passive voices. I will explain in more detail the difference between the two and give you lots of examples to solidify your understanding. I will also show you how to change a sentence from active to passive, or passive to active. You will learn some reasons why you might choose one or the other. This will help you in everyday speaking, as well as in writing, making your English more varied and interesting. Don’t forget to do the quiz after watching! www.engvid.com...

@josejurado9644 4 года назад

Hi Gill, I find your lessons really instructing. The tone of your voice is so pleasant and every word comes so clear. I guess not everybody speaks like that but learners we are always thankful to be able to listen to native people talking that really nice way. I also appreciate the quiet pace of your teaching. Other people teaching in youtube are .. too energic, to say so.. and they use a lot of video editing. That´s alright with me as I always learn something new from someone teaching out there, but I love the simplicity in which you do things...just a whiteboard and a pen.. The light is great and the sound is superb. So thank you very much for all these things I am learning from you and please keep up bringing us more! Greetings from Madrid, spain.

@Claude-Eckel 4 года назад

There are also constructions like _'I'm having my car washed.'_ or _'I had my hair cut.'_ , not saying who did or is doing something but emphasising the action, similar to the ball which was kicked.

@dilinidushyanthi5392 Год назад

Dear Gill, your teaching method is exactly amazing. It is very clear and, can understand easily. I'm struggling with these passive voices as well. you have explained only past tense sentences for example . could you please explain other tense patterns too.. (future, present)

@engvidGill Год назад

Hi - here are two present tense examples of active/passive: They are demolishing the building. The building is being demolished. I hope this is helpful :-)

@engvidGill 2 года назад

Hi - the passive would be: That house has not been lived in for years. :-)
