4. The passive voice The Active and Passive Voice ACTIVE VOICEPASSIVE VOICE -the subject of an active verb is performing the action: “they eat” -a verb in the passive voice expresses what is done to the subject of the verb -subject becomes the recipient/sufferer of the action: “they are being eaten” -only transitive verbs have a true passive sense: what could the passive forms of currō, I run, or vīvō, I live, possibly mean? Transitive Sentence Pattern: Subject – Verb – Accusative DO Puer patrem amat, the boy loves his father. Passive Sentence Pattern: Subject – Passive Verb Pater amātur, the father is loved *the direct object of the transitive sentence becomes the subject; the subject of the transitive sentence is not expressed (“mistakes were made”) ducit militēs, he leads the soldiers militēs ducitur, the soldiers are led
