Simp­le Fu­ture Pas­si­ve

When do we use it?

- Used when the re­cei­ver of the ac­tion is more im­portant then the doer of the ac­tion

- Used when the doer of the ac­tion is un­k­nown or we do not want the doer to be known

- Used when it is ob­vious who the doer is and it does not need to be men­ti­o­ned

- Used when the doer is ir­rele­vant

- Used when wri­ting for cer­tain gen­res, such as sci­ence re­ports or aca­de­mic jour­nals

Trans­for­ma­ti­on from ac­ti­ve sen­ten­ces to pas­si­ve:



In ac­ti­ve sen­ten­ces the sub­ject of the sen­tence is the doer of the ac­tion.



In pas­si­ve sen­ten­ces the re­cei­ver ofthe ac­tion oc­curs in the sub­ject po­si­ti­on and the doer moves to a so­me­times op­ti­o­nal by-​phrase in the ob­ject po­si­ti­on





In the ac­ti­ve sen­tence above, the let­ter is the re­cei­ver of the ac­tion. In the pas­si­ve the let­ter is now the sub­ject of the sen­tence.

Sarah in the ac­ti­ve sen­tence is the doer of the verb. In the pas­si­ve sen­tence Sarah be­co­mes the ob­ject of the pre­po­si­ti­on 'by'.

Short:

Ac­ti­ve: Sub­ject + will/shall +first form of the verb + ob­ject



Pas­si­ve: Ob­ject of the ac­ti­ve sen­tence+ will/shall + be + past parti­ciple form of the verb (+ by + sub­ject of the ac­ti­ve sen­tence)
