Hello everybody!
Can u give me some example about active and passive sentence in english? I want to see what different of them. Thanks before ^_^
Simple examples:
ACTIVE:
John broke the cup.
PASSIVE:
The cup was broken.
The cup was broken by John.
Clear? Any further questions?
I bought a book yesterday. (There are 2 nouns-the first is I and the second is A book)-it's active,because there is someone who bought the book.
But when we don't say about the person who did something, it\ll be passive. for example: the book was bought yesterday. (in this example we don't know WHO did the action but we know that there was an action with the BOOK.
In the first example A PERSON played main role, in the first example A BOOk.
Hope you understand everything
Thank you so much Mrs. Ramida and Mr.Berneddi M.Ed. I understand now ^_^
