Passive Voice of Infinitive / Active Passive Voice / Active and Passive Voice in English Grammar
About this video-
The passive voice of infinitives is a grammatical structure used to emphasize the action or the object of an action rather than the subject performing the action. To form the passive voice of infinitives, we begin with the infinitive form of the verb, followed by "to be" in the appropriate tense, and then the past participle of the main verb. For example, the sentence "He is to write a letter" can be transformed into the passive voice as "A letter is to be written by him." In this construction, "to write" becomes "to be written," with "to be" indicating the passive voice and "written" being the past participle of "write." It's important to note that while the passive voice of infinitives can be useful for shifting focus or adding variety to your writing, it's not always necessary or appropriate to use. Understanding how to form it, however, can enhance your command of English grammar and style.
