it is imperative to understand the
various aspects of sentence the

so you can use them
and you can understand when others are
using those sentences while speaking to
you i'm sure you don't want to be lost
wondering
what did he try to say i mean that is
not something that i know of of course
not you shouldn't go through that so
this is what today's lesson is about but

there and press on that beautiful bell
icon there come on quickly quickly and
well if you've done it please ask your
friends to do it and you will get
notified about all the upcoming lessons
all right well let's start today's
lesson
yes it's about active and passive voice
trust me guys it's not that boring okay
it's not that technical it's very simple
but it is important for you
to stay on and watch the entire lesson
till the end because i have certain
things where you may get stuck
um while using active and passive
sentences but i'll cover that in the end
so hold on wait and learn okay let's
start
um to simplify this so-called perceived
you know complex lesson i have chosen to
only cover the present tense today okay
so we'll go tenth wise uh so there is no
confusion so let's start
so active and passive now first what is
active or is passive okay um the man
takes the dog for a walk is active
simple you know that it's basic simple
sentence
but supposing i want to generate some
curiosity and i come and tell you
i've been told
that
daniel and samantha are dating okay so
i have generated that curiosity because
i have not told you who's told me that
right i've just told you i have been
told
do you know who's told me of course not
and i don't want to tell you who told me
because
someone has asked me not to
say their name so tell me tell others
that they have said it so
let's see how we can generate curiosity
or speak even more effectively in
english
yes so my first sentence goes
rita narrates a story to the children
simple present tense okay
she narrates a story to the children
now
she is the doer of the action or the
subject what you may say so and we have
an object you'll have learned this in
simple sentences so far you have a
subject you have an object you have a
verb okay so it's the same thing we're
just going to play around a little bit
with these
now
at any point of time if you're confused
which probably you would be
as to what is an object
an object
is
a person or thing on which action is
done okay it is not the last
word of the sentence this is not the
object
if i say lita narrates is she narrating
the children
no she's narrating a story so you need
to understand the minute you're confused
ask the question what
rita narrates what
okay and you have your object here
fine
so let's put this in a better way or
rather in a little complicated way which
is uh not that bad a story okay so i've
made the object into a subject so this
has become my new subject
a story is narrated to the children
by
rita
okay remember you do not change the doer
of the action
so rita is narrating the children are
not narrating so rita still remains the
narrator how do you still sustain has
the doer you add the word pie okay so
subject becomes object object becomes
subject now
my verb is in the present tense
when i put it in the past tense i'm
sorry when i put it in passive voice i
will put it in past participle not the
past tense that's past participle so
narrated is the third form
or the past participle
okay
but friends you have to remember that
you cannot change the tense okay it will
remain in the present tense so to keep
it in the present i use the word is a
story because it's one okay a story is
narrated to the children by rita
simple
so i come and tell you hey
a story is narrated to the kids by the
teacher every single day
all right so i have put it from active
to passive voice okay so here you have
the simple present tense active simple
present tense passive fair enough
subject object object subject the verb
goes in the past participle form and you
add a supporting verb to maintain the
tense
okay of that particular sentence let's
take a look at the next example in
present tense the doctor is treating
these patients okay
so
imagine we're talking about
you know the doer simple sentence
i mean simple in the sense means easy
but it's a present continuous okay you
have the present continuous strength
here is treating these patients so
imagine you and i are walking into
a hospital and i'm like
these patients are being treated by the
doctor and you'll be like what
yes that's the passive voice so hold on
is treating who who is the question or
treating what in this case who because
our people you have the
object fair enough
okay so you have these patients object
becomes subject so you have the new
subject here
okay
are being treated now let's go step by
step treating is the verb put it in the
past participle form
okay
fair enough
and because it is in the present
continuous tense you cannot change it so
you say r being this being
b e ing which is a present continuous
form of the verb be
is used in passive voice because to
maintain the continuous form and you
have our being because i can put verb
being will or you know you will get
confused because it could be the past
tense it could be the present tense but
here it's present so you need to put a
present work but now you need to
understand
the doctor is
but you're the patient's
plural
you will have a plural
and here you have
by that means the doctor is still doing
the action though you have put the
sentence in the passive voice
simple
he's the object and he still remains
the doer of the action
please remember you cannot change the
doer friends because if you do that
um
the whole meaning will change like you
cannot say the page these patients are
treating the doctor
no that's hell okay don't even think
about that so are being treated by the
doctor by the doctor because he is doing
the action fair enough so this was a
simple present continuous present let's
see the next one oh we have a
present perfect tense the students
have played this game
students are doing the action subject
plus doer okay
doing what what what are they doing okay
they've played played what what the game
object
okay
the tenth is present perfect have played
now
played is already in the past participle
great the job is done here
okay
but um
this game has played becomes wrong i
want to tell you the game has been
played
so your we put bean okay in present
perfect
okay
passive
so you got to remember these small
things okay so you have this game has
been played by the students i have
followed the same rule i have made
the subject the objective
by okay you have a new object
this game
has become the subject
but
has because
one game okay i can't say this game have
been played so remember when you are
changing subject object the verb has to
agree with the new subject in this case
has all right so i have a present
perfect passive voice like i told you in
the beginning i have been told
that daniel and
samantha are dating so
i have been told
so that is the present perfect tense i'm
not mentioning who because i chose not
to well you can do that so next time you
know how to uh
let out a little secret
okay
now
confusion confusion
is what happens in a question okay so
why does your brother write such poems
simple present tense why does your
brother
don't answer it don't even think about
it all you need to do is change the from
from active to passive you don't have to
answer why he writes poems
so why
will remain there because it's a
question you want to keep it in the
question form
now
why are
this is
subject
you have the object here
let's interchange you have y are such
poems verb in the past participle
okay
why are such poems
written by your brother okay
i have maintained the tense subject
becomes object object becomes subject
now supposing let's take the same
situation i'm a bit annoyed or i'm a bit
upset about your brother writing such
letters
and i don't want to offend you okay so i
don't want to tell you your brother your
brother so i come and say
why are such poems written
okay i can just say this much
i don't want to hurt you i don't want to
take his name and be mean or you know
sound belittling so i say why are such
poems written you know
so
well that's how you use a passive voice
that's how you generate curiosity that's
how you speak lex
offensively
in
a dicey situation
okay
so that's what you do in questions
question remains a question subject
object object subject verb goes in the
past participle and yes because it is
present tense does
i have kept a present tense work
all right
okay so the last one is a bit tricky and
you need to pay a little more attention
because
people speak english all over the world
okay now that you know the rules i'm
sure you're going to come up with this
in sentence english is spoken by people
all over the world first let's just
identify
subject okay
verb
all over the world is not the object
what is spoken
english here's your object
now you will go with the normal
rule of object subject subject object
which is
pretty fair enough
okay
and
you will come up with english is spoken
you put this in past participle i'm just
writing pp for the short form past
participle by people all over the world
okay
but there's a catch here
if i tell you
people are saying this and people are
saying that or
they told me about this
your first question
would be
which people
okay people means what indefinite okay
they
they asked me to come there who they
what these they are their colleagues yes
if i say my colleagues i'm defining the
people or the group of people i'm
talking about
but people is indefinite
if i come and tell you we are going for
a picnic
would you like to join us your first
question would be
who we
who all are coming
yeah because v is
indefinite right
so the rule is when you have
an indefinite
pronoun or a noun
in the passive voice
you will
not use it so this correct sentence is
english is spoken
all over the world so you can have
things like we
they
someone
okay
uh people okay so your various
indefinite nouns and pronouns
when in passive voice you will not use
by the people by someone by us okay
generally the rule is you do not use it
you have the new subject and
the verb in the past participle with the
supporting verb in this case it is is so
english is spoken
all over the world full stop
so remember there are always some
exceptions to the rules and you've
learned two exceptions today or rather
one exception because this is really
important
well
that brings me to the end of active and
passive voice only present tense now i'm
sure after a little practice you can go
out and use or rather speak and the
facts of voice
generate curiosity sound less offensive
and take your language to the next level
well friends thank you for watching i'll
be back soon with a new lesson till then
take care and bye
