You know what passive voice is \u2014 you&#8217;ve seen it in grammar books a hundred times \u2014 but you still freeze when you need to actually use it. The problem isn&#8217;t that passive voice is hard. It&#8217;s that most courses drill the formula without explaining <em>why<\/em> native speakers reach for it. According to Cambridge Grammar data, passive constructions appear in roughly 25% of all written English text. That&#8217;s not a minor footnote in the grammar syllabus \u2014 it&#8217;s a core pattern that shows up constantly in news reports, academic papers, business emails, and professional presentations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1-passive-voice-english-grammar-study.jpg\" alt=\"passive voice english grammar study guide\" style=\"max-width:100%;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What Is the Passive Voice?

In the active voice, the subject performs the action. In the passive voice, the subject receives the action instead.<\/p>\n<p>Compare these two sentences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Active (\u4e3b\u52d5):<\/strong> The manager signed the contract. \u2192 The manager is doing the signing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Passive (\u88ab\u52d5):<\/strong> The contract was signed by the manager. \u2192 The contract is the focus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both sentences contain the same facts, but the emphasis shifts completely. The passive voice moves the action \u2014 what happened to something \u2014 into the spotlight, while the doer steps back. This shift is not about being vague or evasive. It&#8217;s a deliberate choice that serves real communication purposes in English.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2-english-writing-notebook-pen.jpg\" alt=\"english writing notebook pen grammar notes\" style=\"max-width:100%;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How to Form the Passive Voice [\u5982\u4f55\u69cb\u6210\u88ab\u52d5\u8a9e\u614b]<\/h2>\n<p>The formula is consistent across all tenses:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subject + be (correct tense) + past participle (+ by + agent)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The agent (the person or thing that did the action) is introduced with &#8220;by&#8221; \u2014 but this part is often dropped when it&#8217;s irrelevant or obvious.

The passive carries a more formal, sometimes impersonal tone \u2014 which is exactly right in certain situations, but sounds stiff and unnatural in others.<\/p>\n<p>Think about how these register differently:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Active (natural for conversation):<\/strong> &#8220;I left my keys on the table.&#8221; \u2014 direct, personal, clear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Passive (sounds odd in casual talk):<\/strong> &#8220;My keys were left on the table by me.&#8221; \u2014 awkward, overly formal, nobody talks like this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But flip the context to a news report:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Active (reads like gossip):<\/strong> &#8220;Police arrested the suspect at dawn.&#8221; \u2014 works, but names police as the subject.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Passive (standard news style):<\/strong> &#8220;The suspect was arrested at dawn.&#8221; \u2014 the event is the focus, police are implied.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The key test: ask yourself whether naming the doer adds useful information.

Once you recognize these, you&#8217;ll start spotting them everywhere in English text:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. When the doer is unknown<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;My wallet was stolen on the MRT.&#8221; \u2192 You don&#8217;t know who stole it. Naming a non-existent subject (&#8220;Someone stole my wallet&#8221;) is less natural when the doer is genuinely anonymous.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. When the doer is obvious from context<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;The patient was diagnosed with hypertension.&#8221; \u2192 In a medical context, it&#8217;s understood a doctor made the diagnosis. Saying &#8220;The doctor diagnosed the patient&#8221; adds no new information \u2014 it just clutters the sentence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. In formal and academic writing<\/strong><br \/>\nAcademic papers deliberately use passive to sound objective. &#8220;The samples <em>were collected<\/em> over three months and <em>were analyzed<\/em> using spectroscopy&#8221; reads as more scientific than &#8220;We collected samples for three months and analyzed them.&#8221; The <a href=\"https:\/\/owl.purdue.edu\/owl\/general_writing\/academic_writing\/active_and_passive_voice\/active_versus_passive_voice.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Purdue OWL style guide<\/a> recommends passive voice in scientific writing for precisely this reason.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. In news and media reporting<\/strong><br \/>\nJournalists reach for passive when they can&#8217;t or won&#8217;t name a source: &#8220;A decision <em>was made<\/em> to raise interest rates.&#8221; The passive hides the decision-maker without lying about the fact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. To avoid assigning blame<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;Mistakes were made during the project&#8221; \u2014 this sentence, beloved by politicians, deliberately obscures who made the mistakes.

Check your own work against each one:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mistake 1: Using the base verb instead of past participle<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2717 &#8220;The book is <em>write<\/em> by J.K. Rowling.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u2713 &#8220;The book was <em>written<\/em> by J.K. Rowling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The be verb carries the tense. The main verb must always be the past participle \u2014 not the base form, not the simple past.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mistake 2: Forgetting &#8220;been&#8221; in perfect tenses<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2717 &#8220;The contract has <em>signed<\/em>.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u2713 &#8220;The contract has <em>been signed<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Has signed&#8221; is active (present perfect).

Missing &#8220;been&#8221; is the single most frequent passive error in student writing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mistake 3: Overusing passive in casual conversation<\/strong><br \/>\nPassive voice can make everyday speech sound stiff and unnatural. &#8220;My keys were left on the table by me&#8221; is grammatically correct but nobody says it. &#8220;I left my keys on the table&#8221; is clearer and more natural. Reserve passive for formal writing, news, academic contexts \u2014 not your daily conversations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mistake 4: Confusing passive with adjective + &#8220;be&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2717 Treating &#8220;She was tired&#8221; as passive voice.<br \/>\n\u2713 &#8220;Tired&#8221; here is an adjective, not a past participle acting in a passive construction.<\/p>\n<p>True passive requires an action verb: &#8220;She was <em>exhausted by<\/em> the project&#8221; is passive. &#8220;She was tired&#8221; is a linking verb + adjective.
