The use of the Passive Voice.

The Passive Voice can be used:

(a) without the doer of the action being mentioned (the usual case). In this case the doer is either unknown or unimportant.

In silence the soup was finished — excellent, if a little thick; and fish was

brought. In silence it was handed. (Galsworthy)

Tom Tusher was sent off early, however, to a school in London. (Thackeray)

(b) with the doer of the action being mentioned. This occurs only when the doer of the action is to some extent emphasized.

The noun or pronoun denoting the doer of the action is introduced by the preposition by.

He was wrenched from his blank wretchedness bythe sound of the door

opening from his mother’s room. (Galsworthy)

They were thus introduced byHolly. (Galsworthy)

This room was dimly lightedfrom the ceiling bya single electric lamp.

(Bennett)
