When is it acceptable to use passive voice in your writing?

English
1 answer:
Mkey [24]4 years ago
5 0

The <u>passive voice</u> is formed by the verb <em>to be</em> into whatever tense needed and the past participle of the main verb. Whether to use the passive voice or not is a matter of style. However, some of the most frequent uses of the passive voice are:

  • to report actions whose author is unknown
  • to explain something within a scientific context
  • to emphasize the action or its object instead of the doer of the action.

How do you think fact and opinion can be helpful in
choli [55]

Answer:

 Listening to the opinion that others have of us can be interesting and useful because it allows us to have another point of reference, not just our own.

Explanation:

Our own point of view is skewed by memory, by our focus, by our perception of ourselves. That often prevents you from appreciating virtues in yourself because you don't expect them, virtues that others make you see that you have. Just as we do not appreciate criticism because they weaken our self-esteem and from which we usually defend ourselves by attacking the other.

We need to feel part of something, a family, a group of friends, a work team. This requires fitting in, liking, knowing that others value us, respect us and esteem us. When this happens, we feel safe and secure. It happens to all of us.

The approval you need is yours, but it doesn't hurt to listen to those who love you well.

What characteristics of Sir Henry are revealed in his<br> decision to go to Baskerville Hall?
professor190 [17]

Sir Henry is the heir of Baskerville Hall in the book <em>The Hound of the Baskervilles</em> by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In this book, we see that Sir Henry is ready to go to his new home after he finds out that the previous lord of the estate, his uncle Sir Charles, died. However, before he is able to do so, Sir Henry receives a letter warning him about the dangers that await for him there, particularly a curse.

Sir Henry decides that he will go anyway, and this reveals several things about the character. This shows that Sir Henry is not particularly superstitious. It also shows that he is a brave man who is willing to face danger. Sir Henry states that "there is no devil in hell... and there is no man upon earth who can prevent me from going to the home of my own people." This shows that Sir Henry values his family and understands the importance of his role within it.
