Active Voice and Passive Voice of Present Indefinite Tense

  Here are examples of the active voice and passive voice in the present indefinite tense: Active voice: She drinks coffee every morning. They play football on the weekends. He sings in the choir. We study English grammar every day. I write articles for a magazine. Passive voice: Coffee is drunk by her every morning. Football is played by them on the weekends. The choir is sung in by him. English grammar is studied by us every day. Articles are written by me for a magazine. Note that in the active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action of the verb, while in the passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb. In the examples above, the active voice sentences are more direct and straightforward, while the passive voice sentences focus more on the object or receiver of the action. Additionally, the verb in the passive voice is always in the past participle form and preceded by a form of the verb "to be".

Beagles have an amazing sense of smell, making them ideal for tracking animals. They are also friendly, loyal and intelligent and make great family pets. Beagles are often used for field trials, hunt tests, and as assistance and therapy dogs. They are loving, affectionate and eager to please,  making them an excellent choice for families with children. Beagles are not, however, suitable for people who don\'t enjoy doggy doo-doo!

It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "had" + "been" + the present participle (-ing) form of the main verb.

We had been waiting for the train for half an hour before it arrived. He had been practicing the guitar for weeks before the concert. I had been walking in the park when it started to rain.

Active Voice and Passive Voice

Here are some examples to illustrate the difference between active and passive voice: Active voice: John wrote the letter. In this sentence, "John" is the subject and "wrote" is the verb.
