Active and Passive Voice

 Hey ! Are you Active?

What does it mean to be ACTIVE

What is an active account?.......
well an account in which there are regular transactions
So in a conversation there are at least two characters right ...

At any one time only one speaker (*character )needs to be active and the other one/ones have to listen ...Right/??????
We had studied  in my previous blog the co-relation between Tense and Voice PLEASE refer to my blog with the above topic.In this blog WE are 😍 going to deal with it differently ....
This TIME our HERO is GOING to be 'VOICE' !!!!!!💥📢📢 Don't start imagining that we are learning MUSIC😄😄This is ENGLISH GRAMMAR BLOG......Wait...
Here change in voice refers to a shift in the Subject of a Sentence.Yes every Sentence in a Paragraph can have a different VOICE(Now please don't get an audiometer ready yet👻                                                                                                                                            

           We have altogether a different method to identify and change the voice of a sentence.Before that please keep the  the following concepts READY:
*Subject 
*Verb[Transitive and Intransitive]
*predicate
*Pronouns {subjective and objective forms}
*All forms of Tenses
Please refer to my Prev. Blog- Correlation between tense and Voice.

So Children hope you did a bit of required research ;

By now you know:
,*Subject refers to anything that is being spoken of in a particular Sentence ...so de facto it defers from sentence to sentence.
,*Verb is a word that denotes an action or a state ...here we go by the former -for Voice.
*Predicate is the rest of the sentence after removing the Subject with all it's attributes..
but in this context we need to focus on the 'object' which refers to the sufferer of our Verb which is necessarily a transitive Verb for it to have two Voices -Active and Passive .
The pronoun forms we need to focus for this particular topic are the one used as a subject and the other as an object.
Like:
I---me
We---us
You- you
He---him
She---her
They---them.

Look at the following examples:

1)I sneeze when exposed to dust.
2)The baby sleeps.

Do the above sentences have an object??

Is your answer "NO"-you are right don't worry

Not every verb needs to have an object .

Now consider these:



I write .


The children make .


Find anything wrong??? Yes they seem incomplete ....A question immediately arises in your brain-
What do I write??
What do the children make??
I write a letter/poem/Story/book etc.
The children make a kite/⛵ a boat /a cap/noise , etc.

Let us shift our importance from what is written or made instead of who is doing it.

1)A letter is written by Me(the objective form of the subject I)
2)A kite is made by the children.(note that 'children' is a common noun and not a pronoun.)
The sentences in which the 'doer' of an action is used as a subject (main topic of talk)are said to be in Active Voice and the sentences in which the 'sufferer' of  the same action is given prominence and used as a subject are said to be in Passive Voice.
*Note that the verbs undergo the necessary changes in order to keep the same meaning ,i.e,though we mention the object of the transitive Verb in the beginning of the sentence ,it still remains the sufferer of the given action.

ACTIVE VOICE TO PASSIVE VOICE

 Do you know what is the main hint to understand Passive Voice??????? it has the past participle in it.What is Past Participle?Hereafter I will refer to it as the 3rd form , THE first form is the base root form which we use in Simple Present Tense  and the second form being the past Tense form.like GO- WENT- GONE👈 WELL there is no doubt that unless you are thorough with all the VERBS in their different forms there is no chance of scoring in this particular topic. harsh that it may seem but yes like you can't use a wrong surname you can'tchange their forms 💦📓 for example You can't say -I forgotted my pen at houseXXX or My pen was forgotted by me at my house HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES; ACTIVE VOICE                                          PASSIVE VOICE                                                                  }}}-INDEFINITE TENSE ***-continuous tense        /// -PERFECT TENSE  I EAT AN APPLE  .                                     -AN APPLE IS EATEN BY ME.      }}}-  I A

Adjectives#degrees#comparision

HELLO FRIENDS!! Welcome to my page "SIMPLY GRAMMATICAL" We were just discussing the unrestricted and restricted Superlative degree of Adjectives .To make the concept more vivid let me give an example of a competition .Suppose Giyan participates in a wrestling match and wins it we can say that "Giyan is the winner (the means 'the only') of the wrestling tournament" But suppose there is a tie with another player in the final round and the judges decide to give them both a first prize ,you can then say "Giyan is one of the winners of the wrestling tournament."Here please note that the common noun winner is in its plural form.In the above conditions if you have to compare Giyan's wrestling 🎿 skills with those of other contenders in the tournament then it would be this: Case1:"Giyan was  the best wrestler of the tournament." Case 2:"Giyan was one of the best wrestlers of the tournament." Case 1 is an example of UNRESTRICTED SUPE
