HOW IS PASSIVE FORMED?
1) SWITCH AGENT (SUBJECT) AND OBJECT: I WROTE THIS BOOK WROTE (ME. )
2) CHANGE THE MAIN VERB TO PAST PARTICIPLE: I WROTE THIS BOOK WRITTEN (ME. )
3) ADD HELPING VERB: I WROTE THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN (ME. )
NOTICE THE “BE” VERB MATCHES TENSE OF THE MAIN VERB, AND THE PAST PARTICIPLE MATCHES MEANING. I WROTE THIS BOOK. Simple Past Participle THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN …
4) KEEP THE AGENT IF YOU HAVE A GOOD REASON TO! I WROTE THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN BY ME.
USE PASSIVE VOICE ONLY IF YOU HAVE A GOOD REASON: -- THE AGENT IS UNKNOWN -- THE AGENT IS OBVIOUS -- THE SUBJECT IS TOO GENERAL, LIKE “PEOPLE” -- THE AUTHOR IS AVOIDING DIRECT BLAME OR CRITICISM -- THE SUBJECT ISN’T REALLY IMPORTANT; I CHOOSE TO STRESS THE OBJECT
