| May 22, 2015 at 15:05 | comment | added | Rhyous | Kate, please back up your statement. I will tell you it is passive voice. I will also back up my statement and tell you why. The more common passive voice construct is something like "John was pushed by Jane." This has two nouns, and the noun doing the acting is after the verb. However, it is also passive voice if the sentence has no transitive verb when it could, and instead of a transitive verb, the verb is often a form of "to be." As you see, this is clearly passive voice. But thanks for taking time to comment, however incorrect your comment may be. | |
