Active and Passive Voice Rules – Present Perfect Tense
Active and Passive Voice: Tense-wise Rules
Present Perfect Tense
Normal structure of sentence in active voice for present perfect tense is
Subject + has/have + V-3 + object. (Active Voice)
Ex: She has cooked the food. (Active Voice)
(Here ‘she’ is subject, ‘cooked’ is V-3 (past participle) of cook and ‘the food’ is object.)
(Here ‘she’ is subject, ‘cooked’ is V-3 (past participle) of cook and ‘the food’ is object.)
While changing the sentence into passive, this structure becomes
Subject + has been + V-3 + by + agent. (Passive Voice)
Ex: The food has been cooked by her. (Passive Voice)
(Here ‘The food’ becomes subject in passive voice, ‘cooked’ is V-3 (past participle) of cook, and ‘her’ is agent (doer))
(Here ‘The food’ becomes subject in passive voice, ‘cooked’ is V-3 (past participle) of cook, and ‘her’ is agent (doer))
