Active and passive voice
The document discusses active and passive voice. Active voice indicates the subject performs the action of the verb, while passive voice indicates the subject receives the action. It provides examples of sentences in both active and passive voice and recommends using active voice when possible as it is more direct and engaging for readers. Passive voice should be used when the performer of the action is unknown or less important than the recipient of the action.

Causative
Causatives are verbs that cause people or things to act or change. They range from most forceful (make) to least forceful (let, help). When using causatives like make, get, have, let, or help, avoid using infinitives or -ing forms and instead use a base verb form after the person or thing caused to act. For example, say "make him take the medicine" not "make him to take."

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Passive explanation
- 2. ACTIVE VOICE 'Voice' refers to the relationship between the subject and the verb in a sentence. A sentence is said to be in the active voice if the subject is performing the action of the verb.
- 3. PASSIVE VOICE In English, as in many other languages, the passive voice is the form of a transitive verb whose grammatical subject serves as the patient, receiving the action of the verb. English's passive is formed using a form of the auxiliary verb be together with a verb's past participle. Tense Subject Auxiliary Singular Plural Past Participle Present The car/cars is are designed. Present perfect The car/cars has been have been designed. Past The car/cars was were designed. Past perfect The car/cars had been had been designed. Future The car/cars will be will be designed. Future perfect The car/cars will have been will have been designed. Present progressive The car/cars is being are being designed. Past progressive The car/cars was being were being designed.
- 4. Use passive instead of active: If the agent is unknown. Denise’s computer was stolen from her office. If the agent is not focus. The new library was finished about a year ago. If the agent is obvious from context. I had an accident yesterday. This other car went through a red light and hit me. My car was completely destroyed. To focus on receiver. Did you hear the news? Matt was injured slightly in the earthquake, but Jeff was O.K. To make general explanations, statements and announcements, or in scientific and technical writing. Passengers are asked to refrain from smoking.
- 5. Because we most often use passive verbs to describe situations when the agent is not the primary focus, we usually do not include the agent (by noun phrase) in passive sentences. However, sometimes it is necessary to include the agent. When the agent gives us additional new information. Many important scientific discoveries have been made by women. When information about the agent is too important to omit. Radioactivity was discovered by Marie Curie in 1903. When the agent is surprising or unexpected. That picture was painted by a monkey.
- 7. PASSIVE VOICE EXAMPLES PRESENT: IS, ARE PAST: WAS, WERE
- 8. The passive voice is typically contrasted with the active voice, which is the form of a transitive verb whose subject serves as the agent, performing the action of the verb. The subject of a verb in the passive voice corresponds to the object of the same verb in the active voice.
- 9. Active Passive Time Reference They make Fords in Cologne. Fords are made in Cologne. Present simple Susan is cooking dinner. Dinner is being cooked by Susan Present continuous James Joyce wrote "Dubliners". "Dubliners" was written by James Joyces. Past simple They were painting the house when I arrived. The house was being painted when I arrived. Past continuous They have produced over 20 models in the past two years. Over 20 models have been produced in the past two years. Present perfect They are going to build a new factory in Portland. A new factory is going to be built Future in Portland. intention with going to I will finish it tomorrow. It will be finished tomorrow. Future simple
- 10. If you want to change a passive-voice sentence to active voice, find the agent in a "by the..." phrase, or consider carefully who or what is performing the action expressed in the verb. Make that agent the subject of the sentence, and change the verb accordingly. Sometimes you will need to infer the agent from the surrounding sentences which provide context.
- 11. Special cases: Verbs with no passive forms and other verbs with no active forms Some verbs don’t have passive form because they do not take direct objects. This category includes verbs such as: Occur, happen, take place, appear, seem, look, emerge, vanish, disappear, appear, resemble, consist of, collide, etc. Few changes have occurred at Stonehenge over the years. The discovery of Nazca Lines happened in the 1930s. NOT: A ceremonial function was had by these pictures. NOT: Some animals are resembled by the pictures. Jeff was born in Kansas. NOT: Jeff’s mother bore him in Kansas.
- 12. A stative verb, generally, cannot be made into a passive sentence. However, some stative verbs have "active" forms in which the verb has another meaning. Stative verb: "weigh" Intransitive Verb Transitive Verb Arnold weighs 250 lbs. (stative) The doctor weighed the baby. (active) (no passive possible) The baby was weighed by the doctor. EXAMPLE Active Passive Some verbs have different meaning when in the passive voice: Passive The College of San Mateo is located on a hilltop. (exists) Active The Board of Regents voted to locate the new college on a hilltop. (situate / build) Active The police located the lost child. (found)
