PART 1: INTRODUCTION
I. REASONS FOR CHOOSING THE RESEARCH
English is known as the worldwide spoken language nowadays and

almost all of the people need to know this language so as to communicate
and integrate. Therefore, English is a compulsory subject applied across
the whole higher educational system in Vietnam
When learning English, students focus on learning active voice
structures. It is usually the easiest way for them to phrase sentences but as
students progress in their studies, they will encounter passive voice
sentences. Since this is an entirely new structure, spend plenty of time on
the introduction and conduct several comprehension checks along the
way. In secondary school English program, the passive is a vital part of
knowledge, in the graduation exam. To do the multiple choice exercises
on the passive well, the students need to understand the issues relating to
the active and passive sentences in English, making the switch from
exercise to exercise self-talk test. So I chose the theme
" One method to help students solve exercises of passive voice
effectively " to be the research problems in this experience initiative.
II. AIMS AND OBJECTS OF THE RESEARCH
1. Aims
With the reasons above in my mind, the specific aims of the
research accordingly are:
1.1. To help the students improve the usage of the passive voice and
recognize the differences between the active voice and the passive one.
1.2. To clear the differences between the intransitive verbs and transitive
verbs.
1.3. To encourage the students to use the language they have learnt to
solve the communicative tasks.
1.4. To encourage the students to be interested in learning English.
2. Objects: This subject is concerned with the passive voice and its
usage.
III. SCOPE
In secondary school English program, passive sentences are to be

taught in three grades: 8A, 8B and 9B. In this theme, I just focus on some
theoretical problems of passive sentence structure, usage use, how to
switch from passive to proactive, several special in the passive ... and
some writing assignments, the corresponding multiple choice quiz to
reinforce knowledge section above, to help students understand and grasp
the basic knowledge and advanced passive sentences in English so that
2


they can make good the multiple choice quiz format of passive sentences
in English.
IV. RESEARCHING METHOD
I researched this topic based on the following grounds:
- Based on actual teaching.
- Based on a number of references to the passive.
- Based and some opinions of my colleagues.
Initial survey.
In the 2017-2018 school year, I was assigned to teach English in
grades 8A, 8B, and 9B. For students in grades 9, they were acquainted
with the passive secondary level, and grades 8 learnt the passive voice at
the first time.
At first students found it difficult to recognize which sentence is formed
in active voice and which sentence is in passive voice. Therefore, I have
studied the passive voice and the active one in the first part. Then I would
like to mention the differences between the transitive verbs and
intransitive ones in the way to change from an active form to a passive
form or from a passive form to an active one. Finally, I make a list of the
structures in the passive voice. Last, the conclusion is the summary of
what is in the research and the comments on the finding of this subject.

PART B. CONTENT
I/ THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
1. The definition of the active voice:
a. Active voice definition: The active voice is a style of writing where
the subject completes the action of the sentence.
b. What does active voice mean? In the active voice, the subject always
“does” the action of the sentence. Chronologically, the subject will come
before the verb in the sentence.
Examples :
a, He is watering flowers.
b, Jane makes pancakes every Sunday.
In each of these sentences, the subject comes before the verb and object.
The subject is “doing” the verb in the sentence. This is called the active
voice.
c. How to write an sentence in active voice: Active sentences are
formed when the subject completes the action of the sentence.
Whether or not the subject is the first word of the sentence, active voice is
used if the subject “does” the verb.
d. How To Form an Active Voice Sentence: S + V + (O)
- Start with a subject.
- Add a verb (after the subject).
- Add any modifiers.
e. Active Voice Example:
- Grandpa
- Grandpa arrived
- Grandpa>arrived
Yesterday, Grandpa arrived at our house

2. The definition of the passive voice
a. Passive voice definition: The passive voice is a style of writing where
what would be the object of a sentence becomes the subject of the
sentence.
b. What does passive voice mean? The passive writing voice occurs
when something that is ordinarily “done by” the subject of a sentence is
“done by” the object of a sentence.
In the passive writing voice, whatever is doing the action of the sentence
is not the grammatical subject of the sentence.
Examples:
a, The work was completed by Nam.
Even though “Jaime” completed the work, “Nam” is not the grammatical
subject of this sentence. The subject of this sentence is “work.”
4


In passive sentences, the thing that seems to be doing the action will be
ordered chronologically after the verb.
b, The ball was hit by Ba.
Again, in this sentence, rather than say, “Ba hit the ball.” the ball
becomes the subject of the sentence.
c. How is the Passive Voice Formed?
Passive construction: The passive writing voice is formed when what
should be the object of a sentence becomes the subject of a sentence.
S + be + Vp.p
To construct a sentence in the passive writing voice, the subject will be
followed by a “to be” verb with a past participle.
Examples of Passive Voice:
- Start with active voice.
Mrs. Hoa bought clothes.

“Mrs. Hoa” is subject; “clothes” is object
- The object becomes the subject.
The clothes
Add “to be” and past participle
The clothes were bought.
(Optional) Add original subject (and a preposition, when necessary)
The clothes were bought by Mrs. Hoa.
3. The differences between a passive sentence and an active sentence
- What is a passive sentence? The passive writing voice occurs when the
action is done by what seems like it should be the subject.
- What is an active sentence? Active voice occurs when the subject
“does” the action of the sentence.
Active Voice Example:
Shakespeare wrote the play.
In this sentence, Shakespeare is “doing” the action of the sentence.
Active vs. Passive Voice Examples:
Shakespeare wrote the play. (active)
The play was written by Shakespeare. (passive)
The subject is typically clearer in active voice whereas in passive voice it
may seem like the object is the subject.
More Examples:
The boy is collecting the garbage ( active)
The garbage is being collected by the boy. (passive)
4. Transitive verbs and intransitive verbs
We know that a passive sentence only happens with a transitive verb.
a. What is a transitive verb?
5


A transitive verb is one that only makes sense if it exerts its action

on an object
A transitive verb needs to transfer its action to something or
someone—an object. In essence, transitive means “to affect something
else.” Transitive verbs are not just verbs that can take an object; they
demand objects. Without an object to affect, the sentence that a transitive
verb inhabits will not seem complete.
An active sentence with a transitive verb: S + V + O
Example : He closed the door
The verb “ close” is a transitive verb. its object is the door, the
thing that is being brought. Without an object of some kind, this verb
cannot function.
He closed
Close what? The question begs itself because the meaning of close
demands it.
Here are some more examples of transitive verbs and their objects.
The girls carry water to their village.
The boy threw the ball.
Could you phone the neighbors?
I caught a cold.
She loves rainbows.
Each of the verbs in these sentences have objects that complete the verbs’
actions. If the objects were taken out, the results would be illogical and
questions would be raised in the mind of the reader
b. What is an intransitive verb?
An intransitive verb is the opposite of a transitive verb: it does
not require an object to act upon. It will make sense without one
They jumped.
The dog ran.
She sang.
A light was shining.

None of these verbs require an object for the sentence to make sense, and
all of them can end a sentence.
II. How to use passive sentences.
Each question can be expressed in active form then either
passive. Question actively used when we want to emphasize the causes of
action. When the subject is affected by the action, we use the passive
voice. The choice of active or passive sentence depends on many factors.
In many cases, we are using only active or passive. Therefore, students
should understand the following issues:
1. The use of passive sentences.
- When you do not need to mention agents of action ( by chance was too
obvious or unimportant ) .
6


Eg: The road has been repaired.
-When We do not know or forget the people to take action .
Eg: The money was stolen.
-When we are interested in the action itself rather than the people to take
action.
Eg: This book was published in Vietnam.
- When the subject of the initiative is subject not identified as: people,
they, someone ...
Eg: People say that he will win.
 It is said that he will win.
- When people say do not want to mention all cause actions
Eg: Smoking is not allowed here.
2. Passive structures.
Regarding passive sentence structure in English, I will be divided into
three categories:

Type 1: Passive with tenses not belonging to continuous ones.
This format has the following general formula:
BE + PAST PARTICIPLE
Type 2: Passive with continuous tenses.
This format has the following general formula:
BE + BEING + PAST PARTICIPLE
Type 3: Passive structure "be going to" (the near future)
This format has the following general formula:
BE + GOING TO + PAST PARTICIPLE
Type 1 is applied to six tenses not belonging to continuous ones, type 2 is
applied to three continuous tenses and category 3 is used for structure "be
going to" (the near future). In this section, I introduce the tenses that the
students have learned in the program to serve semester exams, including
present simple, past simple, present perfect, future simple, past perfect,
present continuous, the past continuous, the future continuous, and the
near future “ be going to”; and passive with modals.
Type 1: Passive with tenses not belonging to continuous ones.
1) Present simple:

S + am / is/ are + Past Participle

Eg: Active: They raise cows in Ba Vi.
 Passive: Cows are raised in Ba Vi.
2) Past simple:
S + was / were + Past Participle
7


Eg:

Active : Jame Watt invented the steam engine in 1784.
Passive : The steam engine was invented by Jame Watt in 1784.

3) Future simple:

S + will be + Past Participle

Eg:
Active: They will build a new school for disabled children next month.
Passive: A new school for disabled children will be built next month.
4) Present perfect:
Eg:

Active: They have just finished the project.
Passive: The project has just been finished.

5) Past perfect
Eg:

S + had been + Past Participle

Active: When I came, they had cleaned the board
Passive: When I came, the board had been cleaned

6) Future perfect
Eg:

S + have/ has been + Past Participle

S + will have been + Past Participle

Active: We will have finished the test when you come back.
Passive: The test will have been finished when you come back

7) Modal verbs.

S + Modal Verb + be + Past Participle.

Ex1:
Active : You can see him now
 Passive : He can be seen (by you) now.
Ex2: Active :
He should type his term paper.
Passive : His term paper should be typed.
Type 2: Passive with continuous tenses.
1) Present continuous:
S + am / is / are +being + Past Participle
Eg:

Active: Ann is writing a letter.
Passive: A letter is being written by Ann

2) Past continuous:
Eg:

S + was / were + being + Past Participle

Active: She was cleaning the room at 7 a.m yesterday.
Passive: The room was being cleaned at 7 a.m yesterday.
8

S + will/ shall+ be + Past Participle

3) Future continuous:
Eg:

Active: She will buy a new car nexth month.
Passive: A new car will be bought by her nexth month
Type 3: Passive structure "be going to" (the near future)
S + am / is / are +going to+be + Past Participle
Eg:

Active: They are going to make a new film about war
Passive: A new film about war is going to be made.
III. How to change active sentences into passive ones.
1. The ways to change an active sentence into a passive one.
To move from question to question actively passive students should
know the following moves:
1.1. Identify new terms in the initiative, transforming it into a passive
subject in question.
1.2. Identify tense in the initiative and share "to be" corresponding to then
English language and the new subject of the passive.
1.3. Divide the main verb in sentences initiative in the form of the passive
past participle.
1.4. By + agent (when you want to emphasize action agents)
S

+

V

+

O

S

+

V (participle) + O

Eg:
They



will finish
S

this work tomorrow.
V
O

This work will be finished (by them) tomorrow.

2. Students should note some problems:
- The manner adverb is usually placed before the verb participle two in
the passive.
Eg: He wrote the book wonderfully.

 The book was wonderfully written.
By + agent standing behind the adverb of place and standing before
adverb of time.
9


Eg1: A passer- by took him home
.
 He was taken home by a passer- by.
Eg2: We will receive the gifts on Monday.
 The gifts will be received by us on Monday.
- Question and negative passive sentences in question are created the
same way of the initiative.
Eg1: People don’t speak English at the party
 English isn’t spoken at the party
Eg2: Have you done your homework?
 Has your homework been done?
- When the subject of the sentence is indeterminate pronouns: noone /
nobody shall be in the form of passive sentences negative. Eg: Nobody
can answer this question
This question can’t be answer
But not any sentence can also switch from passive to proactive or
vice versa. Conditions to turn an active sentence into the passive initiative
is that sentence should be an exception to the verb (transitive verb).
Intransitive sentence (intransitive verb), it can not switch to the passive.
Verbs are verbs require a direct object in the cabinet without a verb, the
direct object.
Eg: 1) She is making a cake.  A cake is being made by her.
Transitive verb
2) They run along the beach every morning.

Intransitive verb
3. Practice
Applying the above knowledge, practice by doing the following
exercises:
Exercise 1: Change into a passive sentence:
1.My father waters this flower every morning.
->………………………………………………………….
2. John invited Fiona to his birthday party last night.
->………………………………………………………….
3. No one can move the heavy rock in his garden.
->…………………………………………………………..
4. Her mother is preparing the dinner in the kitchen.
->…………………………………………………………..
5.We should clean our teeth twice a day.
->……………………………………………………………
However, at present under the decision of the Ministry of
Education and Training, the foreign language courses is competition in
the form of objective tests during the semester exams and secondary
10


school graduation. Therefore, to do well the exercise of the passive tests,
the students must understand passive sentence structure, do writing
exercises to move to the passive, it will easily do multiple choice
exercises experience. Here are some exercises in the form of tests, will
help students to consolidate knowledge and homework about the passive
test better.
Exercise 2: Choose the correct answer to complete the following

a. You will be asked a lot of questions at the interview.
b. You will be asked a lot of questions at the interview by them.
c. A lot of questions will be asked you at the interview.
d. A lot of questions will be asked at the interview.
4. Special types of passive voice
The transition from active into passive depends on sentence
structure so the best way to master how to convert is the review of it
below the level of the sample already knew.
4.1. Structures : S + V + O (C, A)
In this form the new language can be a noun or pronoun phrase.
Consider some examples:
S + V + O
Eg: Her mother is cleaning the kitchen.
The kitchen is being cleaned by her mother.
S

+V

+ O

+ C

Eg: They called him Mr. Angry.
 He was called Mr. Angry.
S +

V

+

O

+

A

Eg: He put the table in the corner.
 The table was put in the corner.
4.2. Structures:

S

+V

+ O +

O

For the sentences having two objects, we can use one of them to
convert into the subject in the passive. However, the object indicating
human is used more often.
Eg: We gave him a nice present on his birthday.
Oi
Od
- The first turning: He was given a nice present on his birthday.
12


- The second turning: needing a new preposition.
->A nice present was given to him on his birthday.
There are two prepositions can be used in this case: to, for.
Some verbs used with ‘to’: give, bring, send, show, write, post, pass…
Some verbs used with ‘for’ : buy, make, cook, keep, find, get,
save………..
Eg1 : She didn’t show me this special camera.
 This camera wasn’t shown to me.
Eg 2: She is making him a cup of tea.
 A cup of tea is being made for him.
4.3. The passive with reporting verbs.
The reporting verbs are commonly used to narrate the words, thoughts,
questions, requests, apologies ......... Some common reporting verbs are
:say, think, know, believe, ask, tell, promise….
There are two related structures from the narrative:
a.

Form : Active:
Passive :

S

+V

+ Oi + that clause.

S (Oi) + be + past participle +

that clause.

Eg: He told me that you had a new bike.
 I was told that you had a new bike.
b.
-

Form: Active

S

+V

+ that

+

clause.

This sample has two ways to switch to passive:
+ Using the subject “it”

Eg: People think that I am the best student in my class.
 It is thought that I am the best student in my class.
+ Using the subject of the clause that and using prototype form of the
verb. in this example, there is a second transition:
Eg: I am thought to be the best student in my class.
In a second move, you can use 3 forms of the verb as follows:
b1) To- inf: when the action in the clause after that takes place then
or after the action in the reported clause.
b2) To be v-ing: when the verb in the clause after that is put in the
continuous tenses , the verbs in the reported clause is devided into present
simple
13


b3)To have done: when the action in the clause after that takes
place before the action in the reported clause.
Eg1: People say that he is a rich man.
 He is said to be a rich man.
Eg2: They think that she is living there.
 She is thought to be living there.
Eg3: They said that Tom had left home before the weekend.

Tom was said to have left home before the weekend.
4.4. Imperative.
When changing the imperative to passive, use the following
structure:
Active:
Passive:

V

Let

+O
+O

+ Adjunct
+ be past participle + Adjunct.

Eg: Take off your hat!
 Let your hat be taken off!
Apart from that, there is another way to move the imperative to
passive but rarely used. They are:
S + am/ is/ are + to be + past participle
Or: S should be + past participle
Eg: Active: Look after the children please!
Passive: - The children should be looked after!
Or : - The children are to be looked after!
4.5. WH- question.
For Wh- questions, there are two categories:
Category 1: Wh- question is the object in the initiative. So it is simple to
change into passive, then Wh- question will function as a subject in
passive
Eg: Active: How many languages do they speak in Canada?
Passive: How many languages are spoken in Canada?
Category 2: Wh- question is the subject in the initiative. When changing
into passive, Wh- question will function as a subject. Then we will have
two ways forward: moving By to the top (Wh- question is the object) or
putting By to the end of sentence.
Eg: Who wrote this novel ?
 Who was this novel written by?

Hoặc:  By whom was this novel written?
14


5.6. Structure:

S +

V+ O +

Ving

There are two cases occurred:
a. The subject and the object are not the same:
Eg: He kept me waiting.
-> I was kept waiting ( by him).
a.
The subject and the object are the same person/ people/ thing or
things:
Eg : He hates people looking at him.

He hates being looked at ( by people).
S

5.7. Structure :
a.

S

+ V

+ O ( to)

+ V

+ V + O + to + V

- The subject and the object are not the same.
Eg : We asked him to do it.
-> He was asked to do it.
- The subject and the object are the same person/ people/ thing or things.
Eg : She would love someone to take her out to dinner.
-> She would love to be taken out to dinner.
b.
S
+ V + O + V( without to)
-

We use To-infinitive when changing into passive, apart “let”.
Eg : We heard him sing this song.
-> He was heard to sing this song.
But : They let us go home.
-> We were let go home.
Or : We were allowed to go home.
4.8. Structure:

Have / get something done. ( dạng nhờ bảo ).

a. Have.
Eg

: : S + have + Object( person) + bare infinitive + Object.
Active
I Passive
had him:repair
my bicycle
S + have
+ Objectyesterday.
( thing) + Past Participle (+ by + Object( person))
-> I had my bicycle repaired yesterday.
15


b. Get.
Active: S + get + O (person) + to infinitive + O ( thing)
Passive : S + get + O (thing) + Past participle (+by + O(person))
Eg: I get her to make some coffee.
-> I get some coffee made.
4.9. PRACTICE.
Based on the above knowledge requires students to do the following
exercises:
Exercise 1 : Change the following sentences into passive:
1. Do they teach English here?
->………………………………………………….
2. Did the teacher give some exercises?
->…………………………………………………
3. When will you do the work?
->…………………………………………………
4. What books are people reading this year?

PART C. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
I. CONCLUSION
In the process of teaching English, I was introduced to the students the
basic knowledge about passive sentences in English. For each target
different students, the requirements are also different. For the poor pupils
or just serving semester exam or entrance exams to high school, I only
introduce the basic components such as changing from the proactive to
18


the passive, passive sentences with some tenses, with the modals and with
WH- question. For better students, I also teach some special structures. In
the process of teaching, I realized that most students understood the basic
knowledge to apply it into multiple choice exercises in order to serve
entrance exams to high school. However, the poor students still get some
difficulties because passive voice is closely related to other knowledge in
English, especially the tenses. So when teaching this knowledge, I ask
students to recall knowledge learned in the English section and other
related knowledge.
After a process, I would provide some initial experimental results
in the 2017-2018 school year, in the comparison between classes and
students that were applied and those who were not applied this theme: in

grade 8, with experimental class : 9B.. Through a small test to compare
the students I teach with the others, the results obtained are as follows:
- I gave the following test for students in three classes 8A, 8B, 9B
1. Change the following sentences into passive:
1.1. He can’t repair my bike.
1.2. She often takes her dog for a walk.
1.3. Have they finished their work?
1. Choose the sentence that has the same meaning with the given one
by circling a, b, c or d.
3. John will organise a party at his house next Sunday
a. A party will be organised by John at his house next Sunday
b. A party will organise at John’s house next Sunday

II. RECOMMENDATIONS
Schools and organizations planning departments should organize
professional seminars to improve teaching quality, the movement of
writing experienced initiative and scientists report and to apply good
researches widely in the classroom.
Enhance training for teachers on teaching experience, as well as
thematic training for students, take interest and enable young people to
best promote their capabilities, improve teaching quality. Ensure the
quality of teachers nearby.
Strengthen the construction of infrastructure facilities classrooms for
the teaching process in schools.
As a young teacher who has been teaching for some years and has
not much experience, I know my problem given is limited. So I look
forward to receiving constructive involvement of the other teachers and
colleagues to make the problem more complete, more effective in the
teaching process.
Sincere thanks!

I’m sure this is my own experienced initiative.
