SIMPLE
A)Simple present:
(Active voice = sub + v1+ obj)= I write a letter.
(Passive voice = obj+ is/are + v3+ by+ sub) = A letter is written by me.
In passive voice we should use verb in past participle form (v3).
Note: In simple present tense, one unique condition is there, i.e. when we use the verb belongs third person singular (like he, she, it), we have to add either ‘s’ or ‘es’ after the verb but v3 remains same in passive voice.
Example:
Kranthi writes a letter (active voice),
A letter is written by Kranthi (passive voice)
B)Simple past:
(Active voice = sub+v2+obj) = I wrote a letter
(Passive voice = obj + was/were + v3+ sub)= A letter was written by me.
C)Simple future:
(Active voice = sub + will/shall+ v1+ obj)= I will/shall write a letter.
(Passive voice = obj+ will be/ shall be + v3 + sub)= A letter will be written by me.
CONTINUOUS
A). Present continuous:
