Future passive

Passive voice is used to show interest in the person or object that experiences an action rather than the person or object that performs the action

Why do we use the passive voice ?

 Passive voice is used when we want to focus attention on the person or thing affected by the action. Normally, the performer of the action, or the agent, comes first

When do we use the passive voice

• When you don’t know who did the action: The paper had been moved.The active voice would be something like this: “Someone had moved the paper.”

• When you want to hide who did the action: The window had been broken.The sentence is either hiding who broke the window or they do not know

A does B becomes B does A

active voice sentence is written in the form of “A does B.” (For example, “Ahmed will eat the dinner ”)

A passive voice sentence is written in the form of “B is done by A.” (For example, “The dinner will be eaten by Ahmed.”)
