English GrammarActive and Passive VoiceCompare the two sentences given below.
John helped me. Both sentences have the same meaning, but the constructions are different. In the sentence ‘John helped me’, John (subject) is the doer of the action. He does something; he helps. Here the verb helps says what the subject (John) does. A verb which expresses the action done by the subject is said to be in the active voice. In the sentence I was helped by John, the subject I is the receiver of the action. Something is done to me; I am helped. A verb which expresses what is done to the subject is said to be in the passive voice.
He loves me. (Active Voice) |
