Passive Voice - Coggle Diagram

- - - - The subject (Toby) is receiving the action
        
        Who performed the action (Promoting him) is not stated because it´s obvious it was his boss
  - - - The subject (The bridge) is receiving the action, the sentence has no object
        
        Who built the bridge is not important in this sentence or perhaps who built the bridge is not known
  - - - Passive voice focuses on the result of the action (Homes destroyed)
  - - - You haven´t served us (Active)
- - - - Who or what is performing the action in this sentence? Answer: Shona
        
        In this sentence the SUBJECT (Shona) and the AGENT (Shona) are the SAME
        
        ACTIVE voice is being used
  - - - Shona cleans the house
        
        The house is cleaned by shona
        
        In ACTIVE voice the subject and the agent are the same (Firts sentence),
        in PASSIVE voice the subject and the agent are different (Second sentence)
  - - - Shona cleans the house
        
        Shona: subject
        The house: object
  - - - The house is cleaned by Shona
        
        The object (the house) becomes the subject, and the subject (Shona) becomes the object
        
        In other words: The object of the active verb becomes the subject of the passive verb
