Merci à tous pour votre participation
Voici la leçon ci dessous.
The form passive
The passive has a form of be + past participle. The form of be is the same as the tense in the active equivalent.
Tense >>>> Present Simple >>> Passive Form >>> am/are/is + past participle >>>
Example passive >>>> important subjects are discussed every lunch time.
Example active >>> they discuss important subjects every lunch time.
Tense >>>> Past simple >>>> Passive Form >>> was/were + past participle >>>
Example passive >>>> the date for the talks was announced
Example passive >>> Wrong >>> the school has built by the local government.
Right >>> the school was built by the local government.
Example active >>> they announced the date for the talks.
Tense >>>> Future simple >>> Passive Form >>> will+be+ past participle
Example passive >>>> you will be examined by a top consultant.
Example active >>> a top consultant will examine you.
Tense >>>> Be going to (future) >>> Passive Form >>> am/are/is going to be+ past participle
Example passive >>>> the factory is going to be closed.
Example active >>> they are going to close the factory.
Tense >>>> Modal passive >>>> Passive Form >>> modal verb+ be+ past participle
Example passive >>>> the house must be cleaned.
Example active >>> you must clean the house
Tense >>>> Present continuous >>>> Passive Form >>> am/are/is being +past participle
Example passive >>>> the matter is still being considered
Example active >>> they are still considering matter.
Tense >>>> Past continuous >>> Passive Form >>> was/were being +past participle
Example passive >>>> Every effort was being made to end the strike.
Example active >>> They were making every effort to end the strike.
Tense >>>> Present perfect >>> Passive Form >>> has/have been +past participle
Example passive >>>> The new stadium has been built in London.
Example active >>> They have built a new stadium in London.
Tense >>>> Past perfect >>>> Passive Form >>> had been+ past participle
Example passive >>>> the work had been finished by the end of 1999.
Example active >>> they had finished the work by the end of 1999.
Tense >>>> future perfect >>>> >>>> Passive Form >>> will have been+ past participle
Example passive >>>> In the next ten years, full equality will have been achieved.
Example active >>> In the next ten years, women will have achieved full equality.
- Because of the need to combine be/been with being
e.g >> we will be being watched or we have been being watched, we avoid using the passive in the present Perfect Continuous, the past Perfect Continuous, future Continuous and the Future Perfect Continuous.
Avoid: We will be being watched.
Right: They will be watching us.
- we form passive questions and negatives in the same way as the active.:
When are important subjects discussed?
They are not discussed every lunch time.
- in passive sentences we place adverbs of time or frequency, eg. Always, sometimes, etc. after the first auxiliary verb (is, has, will etc..)
it is usually made been found.
They have just been found.
She will never be asked.
