EnglishClub Passive Voice
EnglishClub Passive Voice sets out the difference between the two voices, how the passive is formed, and when English speakers use it. EnglishClub publishes free English lessons for learners and teachers across grammar, vocabulary and the four skills. The page works through the form tense by tense, the cases where the doer is unknown or unimportant, and a set of paired active and passive examples.
100% Free (unlimited): The lesson, its tables of the passive in each tense and all its examples are on the page and open to anyone, with no account and nothing held back. EnglishClub also sells eBooks and runs a section for teachers, both reached from the menu, but the grammar pages themselves ask for nothing at all.
How It Helps Your Business English
The page explains that voice shows how the subject relates to the action, then compares an active and a passive sentence side by side. It shows how the object becomes the subject, gives the form with be and a past participle, lists the reasons for choosing the passive, sets out its forms tense by tense and ends with paired examples.
Use the side-by-side sentences to see which words change places, then copy the tense tables when you need a form you rarely write, such as the present perfect passive. The list of uses tells you when the passive is the natural choice, and the paired examples at the end give you a model to test your own sentence against before you send it.
