GRAMMAR: Passive Voice

	Present	Past	Future
	Affirmative
+	The letter is written.	The letter was written	The letter will be written
-	Negative
	The letter is not written	The letter was not written	The letter will not be written
Questions
?	Is the letter written	Was the letter written	Will the letter be written
We use the passive voice if we do not know who does the action, or the doer is not important; the thing or person that receives the action is important. The receiver becomes the subject of the sentence. Eg: The houses are built every year. The book was written by Tom Fox. The message will be sent tomorrow.
