Getting Started English Sentence: S + V + (O) Transitive Verbs take an object (open sth, give sth, write sth) Intransitive Verbs DO NOT take an object (sleep, happen, die) Passive voice: only transitive verbs To identify the object, ask: Who or what did the subject verb? The answer is the object.

Getting Started To identify the object, ask: Who or what did the subject verb? The answer is the object. Try it: identify the subject, verb, (object) Kim ate lunch. Connie was jumping into the pool. Jim swam with a dolphin. Mary is sitting all by herself.

Passive Voice EG p. 211 Chart 11-1 Active: Mary helped the boy Passive: The boy was helped by Mary To change an active sentence to a passive sentence: Active object becomes passive subject Active verb becomes passive verb Active subject becomes passive agent as a by-phrase.

Passive Voice Form: be + past participle (-ed, -en)  S. Present: The boy is helped by Mary. Pres. Prog: The boy is being helped by Mary. Pres. Perf: The boy has been helped by Mary. S. Past: The boy was helped by Mary. Past Prog: The boy was being helped by Mary. Past Perf: The boy had been helped by Mary. S. Future: The boy will be helped by Mary. S. Future: The boy is going to be helped by Mary.
