Present Simple Passive Voice: Explanation with Examples

By: bora.ege.turan

When we speak English, we often use active voice. Active voice is when the subject of the sentence is the agent of the action. The subject is the doer of the action, therefore we know who is doing the action. But we can’t always use the active voice, and that’s when the passive voice comes in. In a passive voice, the subject is not the doer of the action. Who is doing the action is unclear or unknown. Passive voice is not as commonly used as its counterpart, active voice. But it still is an integral part of the English language, and to become fluent in English, we need to learn the passive voice. This article is prepared to help you learn all about the passive voice in Simple Present Tense.

How to Make Present Simple Passive Voice Sentences

To make a Present Simple Passive Voice sentence, we put the subject, the proper form of the auxiliary verb “be”, the past participle of the verb, and optionally “by ” and the agent of the action. Because the subject of the sentence is already there, even though it doesn’t indicate the agent of the action, it still is a complete sentence. Therefore, the last part is additional information and is optional.

Some points to consider when forming a simple present passive voice sentence:

Subject: The subject is the receiver of the action in the passive voice.

Auxiliary verb: The auxiliary verb “to be” is used in the simple present tense to indicate that the sentence is in the passive voice. The choice of the auxiliary verb depends on the subject: For singular subjects (he, she, it), we use “is”; for plural subjects (we, you, they), we use “are”, for first person singular subject (I), we use “am”.

Past participle: The main verb is changed to its past participle form. The past participle is formed by adding “-ed” to the base form of the verb.

“By” + agent (optional): The agent is the doer of the action. It can be introduced by the preposition “by” to indicate who or what performs the action. However, the agent is not always necessary or included in passive voice sentences.

We can form positive, negative, and interrogative sentences using Simple Present Passive voice. Let’s take a look at how to from these different types of sentences:

1. For positive Simple Present Passive voice sentences:

We use the formula of subject + auxiliary verb “to be” (am/is/are) + past participle of the main verb + “by” + agent (optional).

Active Voice: “They deliver the packages.” Passive Voice: “The packages are delivered by them.”

2. For negative Simple Present Passive voice sentences: We use the formula of subject + auxiliary verb “to be” (am/is/are) + negative adverb (not) + past participle of the main verb + “by” + agent (optional).

Active Voice: “He doesnt repair the car.” Passive Voice: “The car is not repaired.”

3. For interrogative Simple Present Passive voice sentences: We use the formula of auxiliary verb + subject + past participle + “by” + agent (optional).

Active Voice: “Do you clean the house?” Passive Voice: “Is the house cleaned?”

Present Simple Tense Positive Passive Sentences

As we learned above, the formula we use to form Present Simple Tense Positive Passive sentences is subject + auxiliary verb “to be” (am/is/are) + past participle of the main verb. Here is a table and some examples to help you better understand.

Active: She loves me. Passive: I am loved by her.

Active: They left you alone. Passive: You are left alone by them.

Active: The police arrested him. Passive: He is arrested by the police.

Active: He kicked us out of his house. Passive: We are kicked out of his house.

Active: They cleaned the couches. Passive: The couches are cleaned.

Auxiliary Verbs: The auxiliary verbs “have” and “be” are used in combination. “Have” indicates the present perfect tense, while “be” indicates the continuous aspect.

Present Simple Tense Positive Passive Examples

Here are 10 positive sentence examples in Present Simple Tense Passive voice.

The chores are shared. The car is washed every week. The project is completed. The desert is made by my mom. The information is shared. The room is messed up by the cats. The songs are sung. The report is prepared by the analyst. You are invited. The emails are sent to the clients.

Present Simple Tense Negative Passive Sentences

The formula for forming negative passive sentences in Present Simple Tense is subject + auxiliary verb “to be” (am/is/are) + negative adverb (not) + past participle of the main verb. Here is a table and some examples to help you better understand.

Active: I didn’t write the book. Passive: The book is not written by me.

Active: You didn’t bake the cake. Passive: The cake isn’t baked by you.

Active: He didn’t clean the house. Passive: The house isn’t cleaned by him.

Active: The secretary didn’t file the documents. Passive: The documents aren’t filed.

Active: You didn’t water the plants. Passive: The plants aren’t watered.

The project is not completed by the deadline. The exams are not graded. The room is not cleaned by the housekeeper. The problem is not solved. The food is not cooked by the chef. The report is not submitted to me. The message is not received by the recipient. The mistakes are not corrected. The house is not maintained by the owners. The documents are not filed by the assistant.

Passive Questions in Present Simple Tense

We learned the formula for Passive Questions in Present Simple Tense above in this article. The formula is auxiliary verb + subject + past participle verb for positive questions and auxiliary verb + subject + negative adverb + past participle verb for negative questions. Here are two tables and some examples to help you better understand.

Positive Questions:

Is the truck driven by her? Is my package delivered? Are the invitations printed? Are the notebooks handed out? Is the phone charger lost?

Negative Questions:

Is the house not repainted? Is the committee not formed? Are the mistakes not corrected? Is the letter not written by her boyfriend? Are the cookies not eaten by the class?

Passive Short Answer Questions in Present Simple Tense

To give short answers to Passive Present Simple Tense Questions, we write “Yes/No, it is/is not.” Here are some tables and examples to help you better understand.

Affirmative Answers:

Is your homework done? Yes, it is. Are the apples washed? Yes, they are.

Negative Answers:

Passive Wh- Questions in Present Simple Tense

To ask for more specific information, we can include question words in our passive voice questions. These question words include “who, what, where, when, how etc.”. To ask a passive question in Present Simple Tense with these question words, we utilize the formula of question word + auxiliary verb + subject + past participle verb. Here is a table and some examples to help you better understand.

Who is the book written by? What are the ingredients used for? Where are your clothes manufactured? How are the newly hired interns trained? When is their wedding held?

What is the difference between active voice and passive voice?

In an active voice, the subject is performing the action. It is always known who is doing the action. In a passive voice, the subject is the receiver of the action. It is not always clear who is doing the action. To give the information about the carrier of the action, we use the preposition “by” followed by the agent of the action.

Passive Voice: Present Simple

PASSIVE VOICE: Present Simple

The passive voice is used when we focus on the object of the sentence. In the example, B becomes the subject.

English has two voices: active and passive. the active voice is used when the subject of the sentence does the action. in the example, a is the subject and b is the object., grammar summary, when it is important to know who does the action, we use by. the noun that follows by is called the “agent.” my mom was the subject in the active sentence, but it becomes the agent in the passive sentence. sometimes, when the agent is unknown or unimportant to the meaning of the sentence, we do not use by., many past participles for irregular verbs are the same as the past tense., past participles (3rd form of the verb), notice that the helping verb in passive sentences is always a form of the verb be., negative and questions, the passive voice is often used: 1. when we talk about art, science, or literature. the scientific method is used for experiments. 2. to explain directions and instructions. baseball is played with nine players on the team.3. in news reports and academic writing. the environment is studied by many scientists..

Present simple passive voice

There are several reasons why we use the passive voice in English. In these notes, we are going to focus on the present simple in the passive voice. Generally, we use the passive voice when the focus is on the action and NOT  on WHO or WHAT is performing the action.

Present Simple passive voice construction: am/is/are + past participle .

Example verb: to draw

The agent is unknown. We don’t know who is the agent

• The man who  is believed  to have stolen the goods must be brought to justice. (we don’t know who is the man)

We use the passive to emphasise the subject 

• Paris and London are visited by many people each year. (The emphasis is on Paris and London).

We use the passive to talk about general truths

• Certain animals  are known  to attack humans.

We can use the passive if we want to be unclear or vague about the subject 

• Mistakes are committed .

We use the passive when the subject is irrelevant

(We don’t care who or what has caused the action to be). 

• English classes  are taught  here every day. (WHO teaches the classes is not important within the given situation).

We use the passive in a more formal atmosphere like a thesis or an important piece of writing, especially scientifically speaking

• The water  is thus poured  into the dish to form the desired product.
• The whole scientific process is done  over three years.

Present simple passive voice with context and analysis

Construction: am/is/are + past participle (helped, known, found).

Example verb: to make

• Which industries do you think will dominate the future, Sarah?
• Well, we’re living in a very technological era, 1 and I think we’re set 2 to see the birth of technologies such as blockchain, cloud computers, electric cars and quantum computing.
• It sounds incredible, doesn’t it? 3
• It sure does. It is argued that cloud computing and quantum computers are the main innovations so far. 4
• So, what is known about cloud computing thus far? 5
• I only know from what I’ve read, but cloud computing is used by most of us already. 6
• Oh really? How so?
• The cloud is used for such things like 7 our email accounts, documents and photos with Google etc., things like that, I guess.
• Moreover, I’ve read that it’s expected 8 we’ll see much more cloud computing in the future.
• I sure hope so!
• Well, we’re living in a very technological era. Here, the present continuous (we’re living) is used to talk about a present state. The state being ‘living in a very technological era’. The present simple could also be used here.
• I think we’re set. The passive voice in the present simple is used here (we are set). The past participle is ‘set’ (set – set – set), and it’s being used to emphasise the subject ‘we’.
• It sounds incredible, doesn’t it? ‘Doesn’t it’ is a question tag. The verb ‘do’ is used to form the question tag because ‘sounds’ is a normal verb. We always use ‘do’ as the default verb to make question tags with normal, non-auxiliary verbs.
• It is argued that cloud computing and quantum computers are the main innovations so far. ‘It is argued’ is a passive construction for the present simple tense. The construction being the verb to be in third person singular (is) and the past participle of ‘argue’, ‘argued’.
• What is known about cloud computing thus far? The present simple in the passive construction ‘is known’ is used because we don’t know anything about the subject.
• Cloud computing is used by most of us already. The present simple in the passive ‘is used’ details the passive voice in the present simple. Emphasis is put on ‘cloud computing’.
• The cloud is used for such things like… ‘is used’, is another use of the passive voice in present simple.
• I’ve read that it’s expected. ‘It’s expected’ is the passive voice in the present simple. The passive is used here to be unclear or vague about ‘what is expected’.

All passive forms:

• Present continuous
• Present perfect continuous

How to Make a “Good” Presentation “Great”

• Guy Kawasaki

Remember: Less is more.

A strong presentation is so much more than information pasted onto a series of slides with fancy backgrounds. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others. Here are some unique elements that make a presentation stand out.

• Fonts: Sans Serif fonts such as Helvetica or Arial are preferred for their clean lines, which make them easy to digest at various sizes and distances. Limit the number of font styles to two: one for headings and another for body text, to avoid visual confusion or distractions.
• Colors: Colors can evoke emotions and highlight critical points, but their overuse can lead to a cluttered and confusing presentation. A limited palette of two to three main colors, complemented by a simple background, can help you draw attention to key elements without overwhelming the audience.
• Pictures: Pictures can communicate complex ideas quickly and memorably but choosing the right images is key. Images or pictures should be big (perhaps 20-25% of the page), bold, and have a clear purpose that complements the slide’s text.
• Layout: Don’t overcrowd your slides with too much information. When in doubt, adhere to the principle of simplicity, and aim for a clean and uncluttered layout with plenty of white space around text and images. Think phrases and bullets, not sentences.

As an intern or early career professional, chances are that you’ll be tasked with making or giving a presentation in the near future. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others.

Real Madrid to unveil Kylian Mbappé on July 16, 81k fans due

• Alex Kirkland
• Rodrigo Faez

Real Madrid will present new star signing Kylian Mbappé at the Bernabéu on July 16, the club announced on Wednesday , adding that the France captain will wear the No. 9 shirt for Los Blancos .

Mbappé joined Madrid on a five-year deal this summer after his contract expired at Paris Saint-Germain , ending the LaLiga giants' years-long pursuit of the player.

Madrid fans are expected to pack the 81,000 capacity Bernabéu for Mbappé's unveiling, in what would be the club's largest-scale player presentation since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.

Mbappé's France were eliminated by Spain in the Euro 2024 semifinals this week, after the forward suffered a broken nose in his first game of the tournament and scored just one goal in five appearances.

"It was a failure. We had the ambition to be European champions...We aren't that, so it's a failure," Mbappé said afterwards.

"We have to move on. It's been a long year. I'm going to go on holiday and get some rest -- that'll do me a lot of good, and I'll try and come back strongly."

Madrid have not yet confirmed if Mbappé will join them on their pre-season tour of the United States, which begins later this month against AC Milan at Soldier Field on July 31, before playing Barcelona at MetLife Stadium on Aug. 3, and Chelsea at Bank of America Stadium on Aug. 6.

The LaLiga champions will then play Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup in Warsaw on Aug. 14, before beginning their defence of the league title away at Mallorca on Aug. 18.

After breaking his nose against Austria , Mbappé wore a protective mask in France's Euro 2024 games against Poland , Belgium and Portugal , before dispensing with it for Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Spain.

France coach Didier Deschamps had suggested Mbappé would need to wear the mask during games for " weeks or maybe months " before the Spain clash.

Madrid announced the signing of Mbappé on June 3, bringing an end to one of football's longest-running transfer sagas.

Mbappé came close to joining Madrid before he moved to PSG from Monaco in 2017, and again in 2022, when a last-minute change of plans saw him sign a new deal in Paris.

He scored 256 goals in seven seasons at PSG -- making him the club's all-time top scorer -- winning six Ligue 1 titles and being named Ligue 1 player of the season five times.

Why Wimbledon is the Grand Slam title every player craves

Iga Swiatek started flirting with a very strange idea last fall. As the tennis season wound down, Swiatek had every reason to stick with the formula that had delivered her to the top of the mountain. Instead, she floated the idea of spending part of her off-season training — on grass.

She would not play another grass-court tournament for nearly eight months. Tennis spends the first three months of the season on hard courts. The Australian Open, a classic hard-court event, was a little more than six weeks away.

None of this stopped visions of tennis on the sport’s ultimate grass, at Wimbledon’s All England Club, dancing through her mind. “I had these ideas,” Swiatek said last month as she sat next to the French Open trophy in Paris. (Her coach had told her that these ideas were terrible.)

Then came the flex. “If I would lose here earlier, maybe I would be able to play two more weeks on grass, and then be a better grass player.”

Ah, the champion’s lament — and in Swiatek’s case a very specific one. She’s a wondrous player; a generational talent who could quit tomorrow and walk into the Hall of Fame. But the Pole, like so many who have come before her, knows that her career will remain incomplete unless she wins Wimbledon.

Here is why.

Why Wimbledon is the Grand Slam title that every player craves

Play of the day?

Brilliant point from Alcaraz.

First set to the favourites

Seventh seeds Jan Zielinski and Hsieh Su-wei have just taken the first set 6-4 in the mixed doubles final against unseeded Mexicans Santiago Gonzalez and Giuliana Olmos.

One down, one to go...

Hot-stepper Alcaraz?

All-round mastery: How Alcaraz completed the 'surface Slam'

Becoming the youngest man to win a Grand Slam title on all three surfaces is a testament to two qualities that separate Carlos Alcaraz from the rest: his variety and his dedication. The feat would be impossible without them and it’s still an achievement so tough that it has eluded some of the game’s greats.

Winning a major on clay, hard and grass is something Pete Sampras, John McEnroe (both no clay) and Ivan Lendl (not on grass), plus otherwise all-conquering champions such as Venus Williams and Justine Henin, couldn’t muster.

Alcaraz has not just done it, but he’s done it at a younger age, 21, than any man previously — beating fellow Spaniard Rafael Nadal’s previous record by 19 months.

To understand how Alcaraz pulled this off, we have to go back a lot further than the three majors he has won: the 2022 U.S. Open, Wimbledon a year later, and the French Open, thanks to a five-set win against Alexander Zverev in a dramatic final last month.

Read more below.

How Carlos Alcaraz won three Grand Slam titles on hard, grass and clay courts

Alcaraz found his serve at the crucial time

Pretty good time for Alcaraz to produce his best serving performance of the tournament.

Pretty bad time for Djokovic's net play to fall off a cliff — exacerbated by the psychological pressure of Alcaraz's foot speed and massive return of serve gap to everybody else.

The Briefing: How did Alcaraz meet the moment with his serve?

The Athletic

It was fitting that Alcaraz served out this match in a tiebreak because the game in which he botched serving for the match was a complete aberration in an otherwise masterful serving performance.

Alcaraz came into this match with a first-serve-points won percentage of 72 for the Championships, the 68th-best in the men’s event. Serving had been a real issue, having been broken multiple times in his six matches before the final.

On Sunday, he produced his best serving performance of the tournament. Alcaraz was just a point away from registering only the third completed Grand Slam tournament match in which Djokovic could not break his opponent’s serve.

Giving up just a single break to such a devastating returner underlined the serving rhythm he found. Alcaraz kept his speeds high, but crucially he kept hitting his spots too, and was brave with his second serves.

There was one second serve at the start of the third set to get him out of a tight game that landed plum on the line and completely bamboozled Djokovic. In Sunday’s final, Wimbledon got a glimpse of how irresistible he is when this area of his game clicks.

The Briefing: Did Djokovic need Alex de Minaur?

So much had to go right for Djokovic to even get a chance to play Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final 39 days after undergoing surgery on the meniscus in his right knee. Ultimately, it might have gone too right as he looked to play himself back into shape.

Djokovic got lucky, not just by drawing a qualifier and a wild card in the first two rounds, but by seeing Alcaraz and world No 1 Jannik Sinner land on the other side of the draw. Then he played Alexei Popyrin, who had little Centre Court experience, and a formless Holger Rune.

His next opponent posed what appeared to be a formidable test — Alex de Minaur, another Aussie, a lover of grass and, most importantly, a top-10 player with the wheels and the engine to run all day. De Minaur was even showing some newly acquired power, to hang with Djokovic when he revs through the gears.

But De Minaur tore his hip cartilage and pulled out, leaving Djokovic with more rest before he played Alcaraz, five steps up in toughness. By the time he had raised his level to where it needed to be to hang with Alcaraz, Djokovic was down two sets.

So much different. Too different. Everything had gone right — when he just needed a little on-court adversity to be ready for this ultimate test.

Wimbledon final analysis: Carlos Alcaraz beats Novak Djokovic for second Wimbledon title

The Briefing: The art of playing an injured player?

One of tennis’ most difficult psychological tests is playing a match against an ailing opponent. That’s any match, against any ailing opponent — let alone a Wimbledon final against a 24-time Grand Slam champion.

Just a few games in, it was clear that Djokovic was far from full fitness — hardly a surprise just over five weeks after meniscus surgery. While a half-fit Djokovic can still take care of most of the field on grass, Alcaraz is not most of the field.

Tennis is a sport of plans and reverting from those patterns is much trickier than it looks — but Alcaraz took full advantage of an opponent whose movement is compromised. Alcaraz ultimately gave an exhibition on how to cope with an opponent not at 100 per cent.

He didn’t massively change his approach, or start indiscriminately chucking in drop shots. He played attacking, percentage tennis, taking advantage of the holes in Djokovic’s game created by his knee.

Predominantly, this was a performance of controlled aggression. It demonstrated the exceptional maturity of this 21-year-old.

The Briefing: How much can a first game mean?

Notes from the first game of a final match. It lasted 12 minutes. There were seven deuces. Djokovic seemed like he had to hit 50 serves. A sound emanated from his lungs after each one, more moan or groan than intimidating grunt. It was too hard, too early.

Back and forth they go, another break-point chance for Djokovic. A big serve sets up an easy forehand into the open court, especially for a player who has won 24 Grand Slam titles. A big breath. Contact. It sails wide.

It’s 1-0 Alcaraz, and it really shouldn’t matter, because first games don’t matter in five-set tennis matches, and with Djokovic, first sets barely matter either.

But this game feels like it does, not just because it was hard — really hard — but because it was so much harder than so many of his first games in his 36 other Grand Slam finals. That number, ridiculous as it seems, is not wrong. It was a fitting start to a very hard afternoon.

Alcaraz beams in delight

A smile as wide as the Mediterranean.

Mixed doubles finalists on court

There is one major match still to be played today: the mixed doubles final.

Game, Set, Match: Alcaraz dispatches Djokovic for Wimbledon title

Carlos Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final at the All England Club 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 on Sunday.

The No 3 seed prevailed over the No 2 seed in a one-sided victory, ultimately decided by Djokovic’s hampered movement after knee surgery, Alcaraz’s massively improved serve, and his psychological edge over Djokovic in net exchanges.

It is Alcaraz’s second Wimbledon title and his fourth Grand Slam singles title. He completed the ‘Surface Slam‘, winning on grass, clay and hard courts, by beating Alexander Zverev in the French Open final at Roland Garros in June.

It was Djokovic’s first straight-sets defeat at Wimbledon since the 2013 final, when he lost to Andy Murray. Below, The Athletic ’s writers, Charlie Eccleshare and Matt Futterman, analyze the final and what it means for tennis. Enjoy.

A historic double for Spain?

Carlos Alcaraz has fulfilled his end of an historic sporting double for Spain.

He beat Novak Djokovic to win the Wimbledon title for a second year in a row — with time to spare to watch his beloved La Roja play England tonight.

The Athletic 's Charlie Eccleshare, Pol Ballus, and Mario Cortegana wrote on the love affair between Alcaraz and Spain's men's football team.

Check it out below.

Five weeks, two surfaces, one champion

Heck of a feat.

Novak plays it classy after the match

There’s almost nothing in tennis I wait for more than a Novak Djokovic on-court interview. Especially after the fiery crowd comments and the ‘air violin’ playing (which he said was for his daughter who is in the crowd today), almost nobody does drama like this guy.

He was a bit of a different elder statesmen today, however. He started off with a joke and humbled himself pretty immediately by giving Alcaraz credit for ‘having it all today’.

I appreciated his self-reflection and gratitude and the fact that he avoided the earlier interactions he had with the crowd.

Combine that with a really nice at-the-net embrace he had with Carlos and this appears to be somewhat of a changed man.

A couple of great jokes about his son’s future in tennis as well. Really impressed with Novak’s attitude and presentation out there today.
