CHANGE THE VOICE --ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICE - PERFECT CONTINUOUS TENSES -( CONTD. FROM PREVIOUS POST )

While writing we use different forms of sentences( i.e active and passive forms). Words are used in the sentence according to their importance in the text. For this we make necessary changes in a sentence. 

These two forms of sentences are called Active and Passive forms of sentences and this process of making a change from active to passive form of a sentence is called 'change of the voice'.

In examination there are questions in the form of change of sentences from one form of voice to another i.e. from active to passive form or vice versa  & there are questions to rectify errors due to wrong change of form of sentences.

A sentence generally has in it a  Subject , Verb and object. Some sentences do not have an object but for change of voice an object in a sentence is necessary.
