Present Continuous Tense Active Passive Voice
Today I will teach you to make active and passive present continuous tense in Hindi. I hope that after reading this post, it will not just become easy but very easy for you to make passive from active voice.
Active voice and passive voice are two different ways to structure a sentence in terms of the relationship between the subject and the action being performed.
In active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action. For example, in the sentence "The dog chased the cat," the subject (the dog) is performing the action (chasing the cat).
- The chef is preparing dinner.
- He is singing a song.
- The workers are building a new bridge.
- She is writing a letter.
- They are playing football.
In passive voice, the subject of the sentence is not performing the action but is instead receiving the action. The focus is on the action itself rather than the doer. For example, in the sentence "The cat was chased by the dog," the subject (the cat) is receiving the action (being chased by the dog).
- Dinner is being prepared by the chef.
- A song is being sung by him.
- A new bridge is being built by the workers.
- A letter is being written by her.
- Football is being played by them.
Active to Passive बनाने से पहले Active voice sentence को चेक करें, कि यह Transitive Verb हैं या Intransitive Verb.
What are the differences between a transitive and an intransitive verb?
1. Transitive verb:
A transitive verb is a verb that requires an object to complete its meaning.
These verbs act on an object, meaning that the action or effect of the verb is carried out on something or someone.
Example: "She **bought** a book." (The verb "bought" requires an object, which is "a book" in this sentence.)
और
Just ask questions like 'What' and 'Whom' from the verb given in the active voice sentence. अगर आपको जवाब में कुछ मिलता है, तो वह verb transitive है और उसका Passive Voice इस तरह बनाया जा सकता है Example
मैं एक पत्र रहा हूं। क्या लिख रहा हूं'एक पत्र‘ यह वाक्य का'Object – कर्म'है, इससे यह पता चलता है कि इस वाक्य में'Transitive ‘Verb'का‘ का प्रयोग किया गया है ;
It is not necessary that every transitive verb has an object; if there is no object, then we use it there, like:
मैं लिख रहा हूं। (I am writing) ‘writing‘ It is a transitive verb, but no ‘object’ is used with it. Therefore, while forming its passive voice, 'It' can be used in place of the object; it is being written by me.
2. Intransitive Verb:
An intransitive verb is a verb that does not require an object to complete its meaning.
These verbs do not act on an object; they express an action or state that does not need an object to make sense.
Example: "He **slept**." (The verb "slept" does not require an object to complete its meaning.)
Whereas you can identify 'Intransitive Verb' by asking questions like 'Where', 'When', and 'How', like:
He is going to Canada. Where is he going? Canada? This shows that in this sentence, ‘intransitive verb’ has been used, so this active voice sentence cannot be made into passive voice.
Present continuous tense, active passive voice, helping verbs
Here are the various forms of the helping verb "to be" in the present tense:
• "Is," "am," and "are" are forms of the verb "to be" and are used in different ways in English:
1. "Is" is the third-person singular form of "to be." It is used with singular nouns and pronouns, such as "He is," "She is," "It is," and "This is."
- He is saying:.
- She is studying.
- It is raining.
- Ram is walking.
- This is a pen.
2. 'Am' is used for first-person singular form. It is used when referring to oneself, such as
(I am).
- I am playing.
- I am eating.
- I am studying.
3. "Are" is the second-person singular and plural form, as well as the third-person plural form of "to be." It is used with plural nouns and pronouns, such as "you are," "we are," and "they are."
- You are eating.
- We are playing.
- They are running.
There are six types of present-tense active-passive voice.

3. Interrogative Sentences
Interrogative sentence (प्रश्नवाचकवाक्य) जिन वाक्यों में questions का प्रयोग किया जाता है उन्हें हम प्रश्नवाचक कहते हैं। Questions are used in those sentences; we call them interrogative.
Interrogative दो तरह के होते हैं; (Yes-No Type और Wh-word Type) इन्हें बनाने के लिए वाक्य के प्रारंभ में Helping Verbs का प्रयोग करते हैं या प्रश्नवाचक शब्द (Question Words) का प्रयोग करते हैं।
Yes/No type questions
यदि वाक्य क्या से प्रारंभ प हो तो उसका उत्तर आप हां या ना में कर सकते हो। इन्हें बनाते समय 'क्या' शब्द की अंग्रेजी वाक्य में नहीं लगते हैं। इसकी जगह Active/Passive Subject अनुसार Helping Verb "Is, am, are" use करते हैं।
Interrogative Active Voice Rule:
Rule: (is/am/are) + subject + verb first form + ing + object + other words +?.
Examples:-
- Am I writing a report?
- Are they painting the walls?
- Is she cooking dinner?
- Is John playing football?
- Are they watching a movie?
Interrogative Passive Voice Rule:
Rule: (Is/Am/Are) + object + being + verb third form + other word + by + subject +?.
Examples:-

- उसके बाद object आएगा।
- उसके बाद being आएगा।
- being के बाद main verb की third form आएगी।
- verb की third form के बाद यदि अन्य शब्द आते हैं तो उन्हें रखा जाता है
- उसके बाद by आएगा।
- फिर subject आता है।
- वाक्य के अंत में Question mark (? ) का प्रयोग होता है।

4. Interrogatives with Negative Sentences
यह Interrogative की तरह ही है यदि active voice वाक्य मे नहीं (not) आए तो Subject के बाद not का उपयोग किया जाता है और यदि passive voice वाक्य मे नहीं (not) आए तो object के बाद not का उपयोग किया जाता है।
Interrogative Negative Active Voice Rule:
Rule: (is/am/are) + subject + not + verb first form + ing + object + other words +?
Examples:-

इस प्रकार के वाक्य को आपको उत्तर कुछ ना कुछ देना ही पड़ेगा सिर्फ हां या ना से काम नहीं चलेगा।
What, When, Why, Where, Whom, Which, Whose, Who, How, How Much, How Many, How Far?
W.H. Interrogative Active Voice Rule:
