Active and Passive Voice

Image
Active voice: When the verb of a subject is active  its own, then we can say  it  an active voice. Examples: I do the  work. Karim eats rice. Salma reads a book. Kobita is eating bread. Passive Voice : When the verb of a subject  become in active  then it is called passive voice. Examples: The work is done by me. Rice is eaten by Karim. A book is read by Salma. NB: She  is done  the work. A book  have had  by me. She  is gone  to school. We think  these are not  voice, but  they may be some special sentence. On the other hand it does not en-broaden linguistic beauty of the sentence. Rules of  Changing voice :  1.     Present Indefinite q   Object of active becomes the subject of passive voice. Subject  becomes object with possessive form and by.  Auxiliary verb am, is, are places before main verb. Main verb transforms into past  participle. in brief:       obj---------------- subject      Subj ------------- by+ o bject      AV -------------- am, is, are     

Sentence

Def: Sentence is a group of word that gives a complete sense. As: I have a pen. They are poor. Bangladesh is our homeland. We love our country and the people. These group of words complete the meaning. Therefore they are sentence. On the other hand:  Consider the following sentences:  Pen have I a. Lokman an  effective man living  in is Kolabagan. These are  not sentences  Because they can not finish complete sense.  The  three things for a sentence:  1. It is a group of words arranged in a particular order or proper order and  it make a complete sense. 2. The first word must begin with Capital letter. 3. The sentence  must end with proper punctuation mark. Two parts of a sentence : 1.Subject  2. Predicate. Subject : In  the sentence  the person who works is called subject. Subject  may be person or things. But it must contain a noun phrase or  noun or pronoun that contain a  nominative  case  but it never be a possessive case.  Alam is a man. Seema is a woman. Th
