Active and Passive Voice
(कर्तृ तथा कर्म वाच्य)
There are two types of voices in English.
- Active voice
- Passive voice
1. Active voice (कर्तृ वाच्य): Active का शाब्दिक अर्थ होता हैं – सक्रिय होना।
जब वाक्य में कर्ता (subject) स्वयं सक्रिय होता हैं, अर्थात् जब कर्ता स्वयं कार्य करता हैं तो यह Active voice कहलाता हैं।
Jhankar eats the food.
उपरोक्त वाक्य में भोजन करने में स्वयं subject सक्रिय हैं, अर्थात् ‘‘झंकार स्वयं भोजन कर रहा हैं तो यह Active voice का वाक्य हैं।
2. Passive voice (कर्म वाच्य): Passive का शाब्दिक अर्थ होता हैं - निष्क्रिय होना।
जब वाक्य में कर्ता (subject) स्वयं निष्क्रिय होता हैं तथा verb के अनुसार कार्य किया जाता हैं तो यह Passive voice का वाक्य कहलाता हैं।
The food is eaten by Jhankar.

2. My father teaches me English. (Active)

· In the active voice, the subject of the verb is the person or thing that does the action. In the passive voice, the action is done to the subject.
कर्तृ वाच्य में कर्ता कोई क्रिया करता हैं, जबकि कर्म वाच्य में कर्ता निष्क्रिय रहता हैं।
· Passive voices in English indicate the shift of interest from the doer (subject) of the action to the object of the action.
कर्म वाच्यों में क्रिया के कर्ता के बजाय कर्म पर अधिक जोर दिया जाता हैं।
· The object of the Transitive verb in the Active voice becomes the subject of the verb in Passive voice.
कर्तृ वाच्य में सकर्मक क्रिया का कर्म, कर्म वाच्य में क्रिया का कर्ता बन जाता हैं।
· The passive voice are formed with a suitable form of be+V-3rd. Only Transitive verbs (verb which take an object) can be used in passive voice.
सहायक क्रिया be की उचित form तथा V-3rd का प्रयोग कर कर्म वाच्य बनाये जाते हैं। कर्म वाच्य में केवल सकर्मक क्रिया का ही प्रयोग करते हैं।
Active voice को Passive voice में बदलते समय निम्न क्रम ध्यान में रखते हैं -
· सबसे पहले वाक्य के Object को Subject में बदल कर लिखते हैं।
· Subject के तुरन्त बाद में कर्ता के अनुसार helping verb लिखते हैं।
· Verb की 3rd form लगाते हैं।
· यदि आवश्यक हो by लगाते हैं।
· अन्त में Subject को Object बना कर लिख देते हैं।
