active and ive voice Transitive verbs have both active and ive forms:

all over the world

cleaned

finished
soon

might have been
invited
to the party
We sometimes use the verb get to form the ive: Be careful with the glass. It might get broken. Peter got hurt in a crash. If we want to show the person or thing doing the action we use by: She was attacked by a dangerous dog. The money was stolen by her husband. We can use the indirect object as the subject of a ive verb:

(/en/s/darshansheth) Hello sir, Can every transitive verb be changed into the opposite voice? If someone says "It is time to do your duty.", can this/these type of sentences be also changed to the opposite voice?

Hello Darshan Sheth,
I would say no because some verbs would probably sound very unnatural if used in the ive voice. The sentence you ask about could be rendered as 'It is time for your duty to be done', but I can't imagine this would be appropriate in most contexts. Best wishes, Kirk The LearnEnglish Team

Hello TriKhoa,
This really depends on the context and on what you want to emphasise. If you give us an example, we can help you with it. Another idea would be to search the internet for tutorials on the ive voice and then to look at the example sentences. By the way, there's some general information about this topic – though I'm afraid it won't help much in the case of the ive voice with an agent – in our Adverbials (http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/englishgrammar/adverbials/wheretheygosentence) section. Best wishes, Kirk The LearnEnglish Team

Is it also possible to say "without a lock your bike could be stolen"" have two meanings? 1) someone could steal your bike 2) maybe your bike it's stolen (=you bought a stolen bike) Many thanks in advance.

As there have subject (agent) without adding by. or what form is this? 1) Karen is relieved that she has ed all her midyear exam. 2) The girl is disappointed at the poor result 3) Both of you and your husband are invited to dinner. Here my doubts, hope my doubts can be Solve.

(/en/s/peterm) Hi aceling, The ed form is used for the past participle, which is used in ive forms, but it is also used to form many adjectives. In your sentences, the first and second are examples of adjectives, not ive forms. The third sentence is an example of a ive form.
