  3.  ACTIVE: subject + like/love/wish/want + object + active Infinitive phrase with ‘to’  PASSIVE: subject + like/love/wish/want + object of active infinitive phrase with ‘to’ + passive infinitive phrase with ‘to’ + by + object of like/love/wish/want Active Passive  He wanted them to delay the train. = He wanted the train to be delayed by them.  She liked us to water the flowers at dawn. = She liked the flowers to be watered by us at dawn. Remember! Other verbs + object + infinitive combinations form the passive normally Active Passive Note After need, use a gerund or passive infinitive. The meaning is identical.  They told us to go. = We were told to go by them.  We’ll invite him to eat. = He’ll be invited to eat by us.  He is asking Susana to dance. = Susana is being asked to dance by him. Infinitives in passive sentences are usually infinitives with to!

But phone needs to be repaired.  He let me enter the room. = I was let enter the room by him. ## Forming the passive with consider & find : Active Passive  People consider him (to be) wise. = He is considered (to be) wise by PGP people.  People found her (to be) dead. = He was found (to be) dead by people.  ACTIVE: subject + agree/decide/arrange/demand/propose + active infinitive phrase with ‘to’  PASSIVE: subject + agree/decide/arrange/demand/propose + that + subject (object of active infinitive phrase becomes subject) + should + passive infinitive without ‘to’ / passive infinitive phrase without ‘to’ OR, It+ be + past participle + active infinitive phrase with ‘to’ Active Passive = (1) We agreed that Rimo should be taken (2) It was agreed to take Rimo.  We agreed to take Rimo. = (1) They decided that the price should be reduced.

Active Participle is placed after the passive verb: Active Passive  We saw the man crossing the road. = The man was seen crossing the road by us.  We found the tree lying on the road. = The tree was found lying on the road by us. Sentences with double objects [indirect (animate) and direct (inanimate) object] have two possible passive forms.

We can transform sentences beginning with there and having to-infinitive from active to passive by using a passive to-infinitive in place of an active to-infinitive. Active Passive  There are a lot of windows to paint. = There are a lot of windows to be painted.  There was some homework to do. = There was some homework to be done. But we do not normally use the passive to-infinitive for leisure activities. Example: There are lots of exciting things to do. In a complex sentence we should change the voices of both the Principal and Subordinate clauses. The introductory It may be used in this regard. Active Passive  I know that he did the work. = 1) It is known to me that the work was done by him. 2) That the work was done by him is known to me  We must endure what we cannot cure. = What cannot be cured must be endured. An intransitive verb may be changed into the passive a. when it takes a cognate object in the active voice: Active Passive  They fought a battle at this place. = A battle was fought at this place by them.  They ran a race. = A race was run.  I dreamt a bad dream last night. = A bad dream was dreamt by me last night. b. when it is a prepositional or group verb: Active Passive  They laughed at us. = We were laughed at by them.  He dispensed with my services. = My services were dispensed with by him.

Active Passive  He killed himself. = He was killed by himself.  They made him king. = He was made king by them.

  5. If the active voice is in the imperative mood, we usually use Let + object + passive infinitive without to for affirmative sentence and Let + not/never + object + passive infinitive without to for negative sentence. Active Passive  Do it. = Let it be done.  Tell him to go.  Pluck me a flower.  Do not do it. = Let him be told to go. = Let a flower be plucked for me. = Let not it be done.  Never tell a lie.  Let me do the work. = Let never a lie be told. = Let the work be done by me. ## There are other ways also to change an active imperative sentence into a passive one: Active Passive  Tell him to go.  Keep your word.  Put up a tent. = He should be told to go. = Your word should be kept. = Have a tent put up.  Enter by this room. = You are requested to enter by this room. Note Imperative sentences beginning with please are changed from active to passive in the following way: P G P P G Active: Please keep off the grass.

(2) Roses are smelt sweet.  The cows are milking. = The cows are being milked.  This book is printing. = This book is being printed.
