Channel: Sudhir Khullar
Date: 2020-07-01

You may frame it to keep it active and direct - the subject performs an action; you may frame it to keep it passive and indirect - the subject experiences the action.
It's very important to learn and understand this video lesson for a few reasons:
1. Using Passive to write reports
2. Using Passive to give little importance to the doer
3. Using Passive to make an order or instruction politer
4. Using Passive to write scientific observations
5. To avoid blaming a specific person
6. To give importance to the object and not the subject.

To understand and use the passive structure, we need to understand the active voice. To understand Voice, you must understand the usage of all the 12 tense forms. Click on the link to learn and understand Tense:

Go through the video lesson (and also click the link on Video lesson 'Tense')  and try to understand the concepts well. These two concepts will go along with your life vis-à-vis communication skills; you will face various competitive examinations [Banking, LIC, CLAT, NIFT, CATs etc] in which spotting the errors section carries questions mostly on these two concepts. All the Best!
