Past Simple Passive
The past simple passive is used to describe actions that were done to the subject in the
past. It emphasizes the action or the object of the action rather than who performed it.
The structure is:
Subject + was/were + past participle (verb in the 3rd form) + (by + agent)
• Singular subjects: Use was (e.g., The book was written by her).
• Plural subjects: Use were (e.g., The cakes were baked by the chef).
Key Points:
1. The agent (the person or thing doing the action) is often omitted if it’s unknown
or unimportant.
o Example: The window was broken. (We don’t know who broke it.)
2. The past participle is the same for regular and irregular verbs.
o Regular verbs: add -ed (e.g., cleaned, cooked).
o Irregular verbs: use the 3rd form (e.g., written, eaten).
Examples:
• Active: The teacher corrected the exams.
• Passive: The exams were corrected by the teacher.
• Active: Someone stole my bike.
• Passive: My bike was stolen.
