Active and Passive Voice Rules

- He kills a snake. (यहां ‘He’ subject है)
- A snake is killed by him (यहां Snake subject है)
इन वाक्यों से पता चलता है कि दोनों का अर्थ एक ही है परन्तु पहले वाक्य में Subject द्वारा कार्य किया जाता है और दूसरे वाक्य में Subject पर Verb के कार्य का प्रभाव पड़ता है। अत: Voice निम्नलिखित दो प्रकार की होती हैं।
- Active Voice
- Passive Voice
Active Voice में Subject द्वारा कार्य किया जाता है और इस कार्य को प्रधानता दी जाती है। Passive Voice में Subject कार्य नहीं करता है। बल्कि किसी अन्य के द्वारा किए कार्य का प्रभाव इस पर पड़ता है। निम्नलिखित वाक्यों का अध्ययन कीजिए-
Active Voice | Passive Voice |

Ram reads a book. | A book is read by Ram. |
They pluck flowers. | Flowers are plucked by them. |
He killed a bird. | A bird was killed by him. |

इन वाक्यों से ज्ञात होता है कि Active Voice में Subject स्वयं कार्य करता है तथा Passive Voice में Subject Verb के कार्य से प्रभावित होता है।
Note- 1. Active Voice में twelve Tenses होते हैं जबकि Passive Voice केवल eight Tenses की ही बनाई जातो Present Perfect Continuous, Past Perfect Continuous, Future Continuous Future, Perfect Continuous Tense के वाक्यों की Passive Voice बनाना सम्भव नहीं है।
2. Intransitive Verbs वाले वाक्यों की Passive Voice नहीं बन सकती क्योंकि इनमें Object नहीं होता है।
