Passive Voice :h:

Use of Passive

Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.

Example: My bike was stolen.

In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know, however, who did it.
Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following example shows:

Example: A mistake was made.

In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone (e.g. You have made a mistake.).

Form of Passive

Subject + finite form of to be + Past Participle (3rd column of irregular verbs)

Example: A letter was written.

When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:

• the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
• the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
• the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped)

Examples of Passive

Tense		Subject	Verb	Object
Simple Present	Active:	Rita	writes	a letter.
	Passive:	A letter	is written	by Rita.
Simple Past	Active:	Rita	wrote	a letter.
	Passive:	A letter	was written	by Rita.
Present Perfect	Active:	Rita	has written	a letter.
	Passive:	A letter	has been written	by Rita.
Future I	Active:	Rita	will write	a letter.
	Passive:	A letter	will be written	by Rita.
Hilfsverben	Active:	Rita	can write	a letter.
	Passive:	A letter	can be written	by Rita.

Examples of Passive

Tense		Subject	Verb	Object
Present Progressive	Active:	Rita	is writing	a letter.
	Passive:	A letter	is being written	by Rita.
Past Progressive	Active:	Rita	was writing	a letter.
	Passive:	A letter	was being written	by Rita.
Past Perfect	Active:	Rita	had written	a letter.
	Passive:	A letter	had been written	by Rita.
Future II	Active:	Rita	will have written	a letter.
	Passive:	A letter	will have been written	by Rita.
Conditional I	Active:	Rita	would write	a letter.
	Passive:	A letter	would be written	by Rita.
Conditional II	Active:	Rita	would have written	a letter.
	Passive:	A letter	would have been written	by Rita.

Passive Sentences with Two Objects

Rewriting an active sentence with two objects in passive voice means that one of the two objects becomes the subject, the other one remains an object. Which object to transform into a subject depends on what you want to put the focus on.

	Subject	Verb	Object 1	Object 2
Active:	Rita	wrote	a letter	to me.
Passive:	A letter	was written	to me	by Rita.
Passive:	I	was written	a letter	by Rita.

. As you can see in the examples, adding by Rita does not sound very elegant. That’s why it is usually dropped.

Personal and Impersonal Passive

Personal Passive simply means that the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. So every verb that needs an object (transitive verb) can form a personal passive.

Example: They build houses. – Houses are built.

Verbs without an object (intransitive verb) normally cannot form a personal passive sentence (as there is no object that can become the subject of the passive sentence). If you want to use an intransitive verb in passive voice, you need an impersonal construction – therefore this passive is called Impersonal Passive.

Example: he says – it is said

Impersonal Passive is not as common in English as in some other languages (e.g. German, Latin). In English, Impersonal Passive is only possible with verbs of perception (e. g. say, think, know).

Example: They say that women live longer than men. – It is said that women live longer than men.

Although Impersonal Passive is possible here, Personal Passive is more common.

Example: They say that women live longer than men. – Women are said to live longer than men.

The subject of the subordinate clause (women) goes to the beginning of the sentence; the verb of perception is put into passive voice. The rest of the sentence is added using an infinitive construction with 'to' (certain auxiliary verbs and that are dropped).
Sometimes the term Personal Passive is used in English lessons if the indirect object of an active sentence is to become the subject of the passive sentence.

Simple Future :P

Simple Future Definition ::

I will sing

The simple future tense is often called will, because we make the simple future tense with the modal auxiliary will.

How do we make the Simple Future Tense?

The structure of the simple future tense is:

subject	+	auxiliary verb WILL	+	main verb
		invariable		base
		will		V1

For negative sentences in the simple future tense, we insert not between the auxiliary verb and main verb. For question sentences, we exchange the subject and auxiliary verb. Look at these example sentences with the simple future tense:

	subject	auxiliary verb		main verb
+	I	will		open	the door.
+	You	will		finish	before me.
-	She	will	not	be	at school tomorrow.
-	We	will	not	leave	yet.
?	Will	you		arrive	on time?
?	Will	they		want	dinner?

When we use the simple future tense in speaking, we often contract the subject and auxiliary verb:

I will	I'll
you will	you'll
he will she will it will	he'll she'll it'll
we will	we'll
they will	they'll

For negative sentences in the simple future tense, we contract with won't, like this:

I will not	I won't
you will not	you won't
he will not she will not it will not	he won't she won't it won't
we will not	we won't
they will not	they won't

How do we use the Simple Future Tense?

No Plan

We use the simple future tense when there is no plan or decision to do something before we speak. We make the decision spontaneously at the time of speaking. Look at these examples:

• Hold on. I'll get a pen.
• We will see what we can do to help you.
• Maybe we'll stay in and watch television tonight.

In these examples, we had no firm plan before speaking. The decision is made at the time of speaking.
We often use the simple future tense with the verb to think before it:

• I think I'll go to the gym tomorrow.
• I think I will have a holiday next year.
• I don't think I'll buy that car.

Prediction

We often use the simple future tense to make a prediction about the future. Again, there is no firm plan. We are saying what we think will happen. Here are some examples:

• It will rain tomorrow.
• People won't go to Jupiter before the 22nd century.
• Who do you think will get the job?

Be

When the main verb is be, we can use the simple future tense even if we have a firm plan or decision before speaking. Examples:

• I'll be in London tomorrow.
• I'm going shopping. I won't be very long.
• Will you be at work tomorrow?

Noun Phrases *

Definition ::
Noun phrases or noun phrase is a phrase consisting of a noun or pronoun (as head) and modifiers.
Modifiers that normally accompanies the noun is:- Determiners (articles, demonstratives, numbers, Possessives, quantifiers)- Adjectives, adjective phrases, adjective clauses- Relative clauses
As with nouns, noun phrases also have a function as subject or object in a sentence. Consider the following example below:- My coach is happy.- I like the cars over there.- The WHO woman is my aunt lives there.- Frankenstein is the name of the scientist not the monster.- I Consider my favorite cat Meow.- Small children INSIST Often That They can do it by Themselves.- To Quickly and accurately read is John's goal.- Two of my guests have arrived.- Mr. Jones spoke to Dr. James.- My friend works with her father.
Noun phrase always has a noun as the head. And determiners and adjective phrases generally occupy a position as a pre-or pre-head modifiers. Example:- The children- Happy children- The happy children
After the head, put a long post-modifiers are not limited to, for example: the dog That chased the cat That killed the mouse That ate the cheese That was made from the milk from the cow That CAME that ...
In fact, the use of post-modifiers along the example above is rarely used, not even once.
Head of the noun phrase is not necessarily a noun, can also be pronouns (pronouns).Example:- I like coffee.- The waitress gave me the wrong dessert.- This is my car.
If acting as head of pronouns, the noun phrase that generally has a head (of pronouns) that's all. This is because the pronoun does not require determiners or adjectives, so pre-modifiers are not required. However, some pronouns, makes it possible to add post-modifiers.[Those WHO arrive late] can not be admitted until the interval.
So is the numbers, can occupy the position as head of the noun phrase.[Two of my guests] have arrived.[The first to arrive] was John.

NoteThe ability to understand the noun phrase well is important to recognize the idea in a sentence, rather than just knowing the meaning of the word per word. Knowledge of the possible variations of expanded forms of the noun phrase is very useful in understanding the precise and specific meaning contained in a sentence.

Example: noun phrases

The first example is a fragment of a rather simplistic grammar for english noun phrases. Each rule is exemplified by one or more examples.

NUMB :: sing; plur.

The feature expressing the number can take on two values: sing or plur.

RULE noun phrase (NUMB):
   noun part (NUMB).
 # EX the previous president

RULE noun phrase (plur):
   noun part (NUMB1), coordinator,
      noun phrase (NUMB2).
 # EX the president and his wife

These two rules express that a noun phrase consists of one or more noun parts combined by coordinators. In the latter case it is always plural.

RULE noun part (NUMB):
   determiner (NUMB), noun group (NUMB);
 # EX the red bag
   noun group (NUMB).
 # EX software engineering

This rule has a number of alternatives, separated by semicolons. The number of the determiner has to agree with that of the noun group.

RULE noun group (NUMB):
   noun (NUMB);
 # EX bag
   adjective, noun group (NUMB);
 # EX red bag
   noun group (NUMB1), noun (NUMB).
 # EX software engineering

Obviously, the last rule is ambiguous for a noun phrase consisting of three or more nouns, like software engineering conference. Other sources of ambiguity are found in the attachment of preposition phrases (not described here) and in lexical ambiguities (e.g. time as noun and verb). AGFL provides a number of mechanisms (penalties, lexical frequencies, syntactic probabilities) to help in finding the most probable analysis (rather than the set of all analyses).
