  17. When Passive can’t be made? Intransitive Verbs can not be used in Passive. This is because they don’t have objects. So there is nothing to become subject of the Passive Sentence. For example, with verbs like die or arrive.

  18. How to recognize Active and Passive sentences • Identify the subject of the sentence. • Identify the action that the sentence identifies. • Examine the relationship between the subject and verb. • Does the subject perform the action of the verb? • (If so, the sentence is active.) • Does the subject sit there while something else -- named or unnamed -- performs an action on it? • (If so, the sentence is passive.) • Can't tell? If the main verb is a linking verb ("is," "was," "are," "seems," etc.), • Then the verb functions like an equals sign; • There is no action (either active or passive) involved – • it merely describes a state of being.

  19. Example to Identify The Active and Passive Sentences I love you. 1. subject: "I" 2. action: "loving" 3. relationship: The subject ("I") is the one performing the action ("loving"). This sentence is active. You are loved by me. 1. subject: "you" 2. action: "loving" 3. relationship: The subject ("You") sits passively while the action ("loving") is performed by somebody else ("me"). This sentence is passive.
