An important thing to note about passive voice is that it is not the same as past tense. Passive voice refers to who is performing the verb's action, while past tense refers to when the action was performed.
Why is past participle used in passive voice?
Passive form is sometimes used if you want to emphasize the thing receiving the action. In all passive forms, past participles are used with helping or auxiliary verbs. These helping verbs are the forms of would, like, have, do, or will.
Does passive voice always have past participle?
Forming passive voice requires the verb “to be” and a past participle.
What is active and passive voice past participle?
The active voice is used when the action is done by the subject: The dog ate my homework. The passive voice (BE + V+-ed/-en/-t) is used when the action of the sentence is not being done by the subject: My homework was eaten by the dog. The passive is formed with any time frame of the verb TO BE + the PAST PARTICIPLE.
