What is Active and Passive Voice?
Active Voice:
In an active voice sentence, the subject performs the action. In simple words, the focus is on who is doing the action.
Structure: Subject + Verb + Object
Example:
• He writes a letter.
(Here, He is the subject who performs the action of writing.)
Passive Voice:
In a passive voice sentence, the subject receives the action. The focus is on what is being done rather than who does it.
Structure: Object + Helping Verb + 3rd Form of Verb + by + Subject
Example:
• A letter is written by him.
(Here, the focus is on the action “writing” and the receiver “a letter.”)
10 Rules for Changing Active Voice to Passive Voice
1. Subject → becomes Object
The subject of an active sentence becomes the object (with by) in the passive sentence.
Example: He helps me. → I am helped by him.
2. Object → becomes Subject
The object of the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive sentence.
Example: She teaches us. → We are taught by her.
3. Use the 3rd Form of the Verb (Past Participle)
In every passive sentence, the main verb is used in its third form.
Example: write → written, eat → eaten, make → made
4. Use “by + Object” (Agent)
In passive voice, the doer of the action is shown using “by + object.”
Example: A song is sung by her.
5. Present Tense uses (is, am, are)
If the tense is Present Simple, use is, am, or are after the subject.
Example: He writes a letter. → A letter is written by him.
6. Past Tense uses (was, were)
If the tense is Past Simple, use was or were.
Example: He wrote a letter. → A letter was written by him.
7. Continuous Tense uses (being + 3rd form)
If the sentence is in a Continuous Tense (verb + ing), use being + 3rd form.
Example: He is writing a letter. → A letter is being written by him.
8. Perfect Tense uses (been + 3rd form)
If have, has, or had is used, then add been + 3rd form.
Example: He has written a letter. → A letter has been written by him.
9. Modal Verbs use (be + 3rd form)
If the sentence has will, would, shall, should, can, could, may, might, ought to, use be + 3rd form.
Example: He can do it. → It can be done by him.
10. Pronoun Change (Subject → Object form)
Active Subject → Passive (after “by”)
I → me
We → us
You → you
He → him
She → her
It → it
They → them
Who → whom
Example: Who helps you? → By whom are you helped?

✅ Active Voice اور Passive Voice کیا ہوتے ہیں؟
Active Voice (فاعل جملہ):
Active Voice میں جملے کا زور کام کرنے والے (فاعل / Subject) پر ہوتا ہے۔ یعنی بتایا جاتا ہے کہ کام کس نے کیا۔
ساخت: Subject + Verb + Object
مثال: He writes a letter. (وہ ایک خط لکھتا ہے۔)
یہ جملہ Active Voice میں ہے کیونکہ “He” یعنی فاعل کام کر رہا ہے۔
Passive Voice (مفعولی جملہ):
Passive Voice میں جملے کا زور کام پر ہونے والے اثر (مفعول / Object) پر ہوتا ہے۔ یعنی بتایا جاتا ہے کہ کام پر کیا ہوا یا کام کس کے ذریعے ہوا۔
ساخت: Object + Helping Verb + Verb کی 3rd Form + by + Subject
مثال: A letter is written by him. (ایک خط اس کے ذریعے لکھا گیا ہے۔)
یہ جملہ Passive Voice میں ہے کیونکہ زور “خط” پر ہے، جو کام کا اثر لینے والا ہے۔
Active to Passive Voice بنانے کے 10 اصول
1. Subject → Object میں بدلتا ہے
Active جملے کا Subject، Passive میں “by” کے ساتھ Object بن جاتا ہے۔
مثال: He helps me. → I am helped by him.
2. Object → Subject میں بدلتا ہے
Active کا Object، Passive میں Subject بن جاتا ہے۔
مثال: She teaches us. → We are taught by her.
3. فعل (Verb) کی 3rd Form لگتی ہے
Passive voice میں ہمیشہ main verb کی تیسری شکل استعمال ہوتی ہے۔
مثال: write → written, eat → eaten, make → made
4. By + Object (فاعل)
Passive voice میں کام کرنے والے کے لیے “by + object” لگایا جاتا ہے۔
مثال: A song is sung by her.
5. Present Tense میں (is, am, are)
اگر جملہ Present Simple ہو تو is/am/are لگایا جاتا ہے۔
مثال: He writes a letter. → A letter is written by him.
6. Past Tense میں (was, were)
اگر جملہ Past Simple ہو تو was/were لگایا جاتا ہے۔
مثال: He wrote a letter. → A letter was written by him.
7. Continuous Tense میں (being + 3rd form)
اگر جملہ Continuous ہو تو “being + 3rd form” لگتی ہے۔
مثال: He is writing a letter. → A letter is being written by him.
8. Perfect Tense میں (been + 3rd form)
اگر have, has, had ہو تو ان کے بعد “been + 3rd form” آتی ہے۔
مثال: He has written a letter. → A letter has been written by him.
9. Modal Verbs میں (be + 3rd form)
اگر جملے میں will, would, shall, should, can, could, may, might, ought to ہو تو ان کے بعد “be + 3rd form” لگتی ہے۔
مثال: He can do it. → It can be done by him.
10. Pronoun Conversion
Active کا Subject، Passive میں by کے بعد Object form میں آتا ہے۔
I → me
We → us
You → you
He → him

It → it
They → them
Who → whom
