Active and Passive Voices

Take a look at these sentences. What differences do you find between them?


  • Christopher Columbus discovered America.


  • America was discovered by Christopher Columbus.
2

Active and Passive Voices (2)

The first sentence is in Active Voice, which means that we're giving more importance to the subject, the entity that performs the action:
  • Christopher Columbus discovered America.

The second sentence is in Passive Voice, which means we give more importance to the object, the entity who receives the action:

  • America was discovered by Christopher Columbus.

Did you see how the verb has changed? That's because it has to accommodate to the emphasis we're giving to each of the elements. When creating a passive voice sentence, this is the pattern to follow:

   Object     to be     past participle verb  by     subject

The apple   was         eaten                   by     the child.
