The Passive is not a tense.

You will find it easier to

understand the passive if you
already know the basic English
verb tenses.

Here is an active verb in the present simple:

THE ARCHITECT MAKES A SURVEYS A LAND
DETERMINE.


now lets change the sentece to the passive.
When we make an active sentece passive, the object
becomes subject.
A SURVEYS A LAND DETERMINE IS MAKED BY
ARCHITECT
SUBJECT.
OBJECT. SUBJECT.
OBJECT.

ACTIVE SENTENCE:
THE ARCHITECT GET METRIC TAPE.

PASSIVE SENTECE:
METRIC TAPE IS GOT BY ARCHITECT.



We make an active sentence passive
when we want to put information at the
beginning of the sentence because it is
more important.
Passive sentece


A surveys a land determine is maked by
engineer.

To make the passive use the verb
to BE in the same tense as the
original sentence here it is the
present simple tense
and the 3
rd
form or
past participle of the
main verb.
If you need to mention
who is doing the action,
use by to introduce it.|
