Subject-Verb-Object (S-V-O)

In English, we usually use the form Subject-Verb-Object (S-V-O). An example is: Jemima kicks the ball. Jemima is the subject: she does the action. Kick is the verb, the action. The ball is the object, the action happens to the object.



Passive

We do not always use S-V-O. When we use the passive voice (voz pasiva) in English we change the word order. The order for the passive is O-V-S. The subject is often not necessary. This is the same as Spanish. The form is slightly different, but the wor

ctiv1. The hunter killed the deer. 2. The deer was killed by the hunter. Do you know, what is the difference between these two sentences? In sentence 1, the subject (hunter) is the doer of the action. In other words, the subject of the verb acts or is active. The verb (killed) is therefore, said to be in the Active Voice. In sentence 2, the subject (deer) is the receiver of the action. In other words, the subject of the verb does not perform the action or is not active, or is passive. Here the Subject of the verb is acted upon. The verb (was killed) is therefore, said to be in the :

1. The Active Voice denotes that the subject of the verb is the doer of the action or is active.
2. The Passive Voice denotes that the subject of the verb is the receiver of the action or is passive.


So we see that when a sentence is changed from the Active form to the Passive, the Object of the Active Verb becomes the Subject of the Passive Ver

IF" poetry By Rudyard Kipling

IF BY RUDYARD KIPLING If you can keep your head when all about you       Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,     But make allowance for their doubting too;   If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,     Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,     And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master.       If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim.   If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster     And treat those two impostors just the same.   If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken     Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,     And stoop and build ’elm up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings     An...
