The passive voice is not just a grammatical structure — it is a strategic tool. In IELTS, knowing when to use the passive (and when to avoid it) can make the difference between a Band 6 and a Band 7 in Grammatical Range and Accuracy. This lesson covers how to form the passive, when it is appropriate, and the common errors candidates make.
In an active sentence, the subject performs the action:
The government introduced new regulations.
In a passive sentence, the subject receives the action:
New regulations were introduced (by the government).
Structure: Subject + be (conjugated) + past participle (+ by agent)
The "by agent" phrase is optional — include it only when the doer is important or unknown.
