PASSIVE VOICE
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)

Passive Sentences with Two
Objects Level: intermediate
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.

As you can see in the examples, adding by Rita does not sound very
elegant. That’s why it is usually dropped.INRODUCTORY IT
INRODUCTORY IT
A : To understand this lesson is easy
B : It is easy to understand this lesson.
In this pattern, it has no meaning. It is used only to fill the cubject position in the sentence. thus, it is called introductory “it”.
A : To understand this lesson is easy
B : It is easy to understand this lesson.
In this pattern, it has no meaning. It is used only to fill the cubject position in the sentence. thus, it is called introductory “it”.
1.
Introductory “it” as a subject:
A : To watch musical programs is pleasent.
B : It is pleasent to Watch musical program
A : To watch musical programs is pleasent.
B : It is pleasent to Watch musical program
2.

when the subject is an infinitive phrase with a gerund ini t or a clause.

Direct and Indirect Speech
Ok, first let me explain the meaning of the sentence and
the sentence directly and indirectly. We often have to give information about
what people say or think. In order to do this you can use direct or indirect
speech.
Direct Speech
or Quoted speech
Saying exactly what someone has said is called Direct Speech. Here what a person says appears with quotation marks ( “….” ) and should be words for word.
Ex : She said, “ Today’s lesson is on presentations.” → this sentences using quotation mark
Indirect Speech or Reported Speech
Indirect speech sometime called reported speech doesn’t use quotation marks to enclose what the person said and it doesn’t have to be word for word.
When reporting, speech the tenses usually changes. This is because when we use reported speech, we are usually talking about a time in the past ( because obviously the person who spoke originally spoke in the past). The verbs therefore usually have to be in the past too.
Ex : Direct Speech : “ I’m going to the cinema”, he said.
Indirect Speech : He said that he was going to the cinema. → there is the addition of the word “THAT” in sentence.
The difference is only in the direct line there are quotation marks,while the indirect sentence there is no quotation marks.
TENSES CHANGES
As a rule when you report something, someone has said you go back a tense (the tense on the left changes to the tense on the right).
DIRECT SPEECH INDIRECT SPEECH
1. PRESENT TENSE PAST TENSE
She said, “It is cold.” ↔ She said it was cold.
2. PRESENT CONTINUOUS PAST CONTINUOUS
She said, “I am teaching English online.” ↔ She said she was teaching English
online.
3. PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS
She said, “I have been teaching English for ↔ She said she had been teaching English
seven years.” for seven years.
4. PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE PAST PERFECT SIMPLE
She said, “I have been on the web since 1999.”↔She said she had been on the web since
1999.
5. PAST SIMPLE PAST PERFECT
She said, “I thought online yesterday.” ↔ She said she had taught online
yesterday.
6. PAST CONTINUOUS PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS
She said, “I was teaching earlier.” ↔ She said she had been teaching earlier.
7. PAST PERFECT PAST PEFECT
She said, “The lesson had already started ↔ She said lesson had already started when
when he arrived.” he arrived. (NO CHANGE)
8. PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS
She said, “I would already been teaching for ↔She said I would already been teaching five minutes. for five minutes. (NO CHANGE
MODAL
Modal verb forms also sometimes change.
DIRECT SPEECH INDIRECT SPEECH
1. WILL WOULD
She said, “I will teach English online ↔ She said she would teach English
tomorrow. online tomorrow.
2. CAN COULD
She said, “I can teach English online.” ↔ She said she could teach English online.
3. MUST HAD TO
She said, “I must have a computer teach ↔ She said she had to have a computer English online.” teach English online.
4. SHALL SHOULD
She said, “What shall we learn today?” ↔ She asked what we should learn
today.
5. MAY MIGHT
He told me, “You may leave us now” ↔ He told me that I might leave them
then.
NOTE : There is no change to could, would, should, might & ough to.
TIME CHANGE
If the reported sentences contains an expression of time, you must change it to fit in with the time of reporting.
For example we need to change words like here and yesterday if they have different meanings at the time and place of reporting.
Expression of time if reported on a different day
· This ↔ That
· Today ↔ Yesterday
· These ↔ Those
· Now ↔ Then
· A week ago ↔ A week before
· Last weekend ↔ The weekend before last/
The previous weekend
· Here ↔ There
· Next week ↔ The following week
· Tomorrow ↔ The next
Akan tetapi kalau this,here,now dan sebagainya menunjuk pada benda.tempat atau waktu tertentu merupakan yang sekarang bagi si pembacanya pada waktu memberitakan, maka tiada perubahan kata sifat atau kata keterangan yang dilakukan dalam reported speech .
Ex :
Direct : Andi said, “ This is my pen.”
Indirect : Andi said that this was his pen.
