passive voice

The passive voice in English is composed by two elements: passive voice and stative passive. The appropriate form is passive voice. Here is being discussed.

Let see the example:

Active :( A ) Anisah is a student. She studies English every night.

Passive :( B ) English is studied by Anisah every night.

This example is the appropriate form. The object of the active verb becomes the subject of the passive verb. “English” in (A) is becomes the subject in (B). A form and B form have the same meaning.

The pattern of passive voice:

Subject + be + past participle

The progressive form:

Tenses	Active	Passive
Present	Anisah studies	Is studied by Anisah
Progressive	Anisah Is studying	Is being studied by Anisah
Perfect	Anisah has studied	Has been studied by Anisah
Past	Anisah studied	Was studied by Anisah
Past progressive	Anisah was studying	Was being studied by Anisah
Past perfect	Anisah had studied	Had been studied by Anisah
Future	Anisah will study	Will be studied by Anisah
Be going to	Anisah is going to study	Is going to be studied by Anisah
Future perfect	Anisah will have study	Will have been studied by Anisah

comparison between simple tense and continuous

The explanation about the comparison between present simple and present progressive (continuous)

Present simple

Present continuous

In general, simple present expressed events or situation that happens in always, usually, and being habitually. Means that this action happen in the past, now and probably happening in the future. Here the illustration: <-------------- action --------------> Past now future · We use simple present to tell about something was true in the past, is true in the present and will be true in the future. e.g. most animals kill only for food · The usage of simple present tense is to express habitual. e.g. I usually go to work by car. · Simple present may indicate situation that is right now, or at the moment is happening but it uses certain verbs. e.g. he needs a pen right now

In general, continuous tense is used for something that happening at or around the process of speaking. Means that the action is not finished yet when the speaker talks. Here the illustration: probably xxxxxxxxxx action --------------> Past now future · Use the continuous tense for a temporary situation: e.g. She is staying in her friend’s flat until the rain is ending. · Often the activity of continuous tense is of a general nature: something generally in progress this week, this month, or this year. e.g. abit is writing another book this year.
