In a simple way explain the different steps for the realization of sentences in the active voice to the passive voice. Let's begin this lesson with an example:  I eat an apple  An apple is eaten by me The meaning of the two sentences is identical: in the first case the verb is in active voice while the second is passive. The active voice or passive depending on what we are used to highlight. a - If you want to emphasize is that I am "me" and no other person who eats the apple, I will use the active voice:  I eat an apple. b - If you want to emphasize is that I 'm eating "an apple " (and not a pear, a banana... ), I will use the passive voice :  An apple is eaten by me

Changes the subject I (subject) and an apple (direct object) An apple (subject) is eaten by me (staff complement) In the first sentence (active voice) the subject "I" is the one who performs the action (I 'm the one who eats apple). In the second sentence (passive voice) the subject "An apple" is not who performs the action, but who receives the effect of the action (which is the food thing ? 's Apple). We see that the direct object of the active sentence "an apple " happens to play the role of subject in the passive voice. While the subject of the active sentence "I" came to play the role of "agent complement" in the passive voice: "my"

Changes the verb I eat an apple An apple is eaten by me We have highlighted in red the verb in each sentence. It can be seen that in the second sentence (passive verb) The verb is composed of two words "is food." The first one "is" is the auxiliary verb. It is a verbal form of the verb "to be". The second one "food" is the main verb (past participle). Therefore, one way to differentiate a verb in the active voice and passive voice is that in the latter case is always accompanied by the auxiliary verb "to be ". This auxiliary verb comes at the same time and so the verb of the active sentence: " As" present indicative "Is": present indicative
