Active and Passive Voice Present Indefinite Tense

Present Indefinite Tense Active Passive Voice

Today I will teach you to make active and passive in the present indefinite 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.

Active Passive Voice


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).

  • She watches TV every evening.
  • George drinks coffee in the evening.
  • Ramesh teaches Sohan.
  • She writes a letter every day.
  • I read this book daily.

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).

  • TV is watched by her every evening.
  • Coffee is drunk by George in the evening.
  • Sohan is taught by Ramesh.
  • A letter is written by her every day.
  • This book is read daily by me.

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 लिखता हूं। क्या लिखता 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 पसंद करता हूँ । (I like.)'like'' 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 liked 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 went to Canada. Where did he go in 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:

  • am (I am)
  • is (he,she,it, names)
  • are (you,we,they)


There are six types of present-indefinite-tense active-passive voice.

1. Affirmative Sentences
2. Negative Sentences
3. Interrogative Sentences
4. Interrogative with Negative Sentences
5. W.H. Interrogative Sentences
6. W.H. interrogative negative sentences


1. Affirmative
(सकारात्मक वाक्य) इसमें  (प्रसन्न) का उपयोग नहीं होता और (ना) उपयोग नहीं होता। Do not use (not), and neither is anyone a question.

3. Interrogative sentence: (प्रश्नवाचक वाक्य) 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 Subject अनुसार Helping Verb 'Do या Does' रखते हैं।

Interrogative Active Voice Rule:

Rule: Do/Does + subject + verb first form + object + other words +?

  • Do you speak Spanish at the institute?
  • Do they watch movies every weekend?
  • Do you play football in the park?
  • Does she cook dinner in the evening?
  • Do they deliver the mail every day?

  •  उसके बाद यदि अन्य शब्द आते हैं तो उन्हें रखा जाता है

4. Interrogative 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।

5. W.H. Interrogative Sentences

  • Why do you laugh?
  • Why do you fly kites?
  • When do you go to the park?
  • Why do you lie?
  • When does Sunita go to sleep?

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?
