Little Bird Tales - Home Passive forms We use the passive, rather than the active, to show that we are more interested in a certain part of the sentence. The passive is usually formed by the verb to be + past participle. Can you give me some examples of the active and passive? Yes, of course. My room is being cleaned. 'My room' is the main focus of the sentence. OK, that makes sense. We also use the passive when we don’t know who did something, or when it isn’t important. It’s the biggest outdoor elevator in the world, so I’ve been informed. It doesn’t matter who told me. I think loads of films have been made there. The important thing is the films, not the film-makers. Can you use a passive and also say who did the action? Yes. Avatar was made by James Cameron. No, not necessarily. I hope to find everything clean and tidy … you’ve been warned! But we often avoid the passive in very informal spoken language, for example, by using they. They based the scenery in Avatar on the landscape here. Yes, very good! Phew, OK. Ah, OK, we’ll stop.
