Change of subjective and objective cases in active and passive voices:- In English, the subjective case is used for the subject of a verb, while the objective case is used for the object of a verb.  In the active voice, the subject performs the action of the verb.  In the passive voice, the subject is the recipient of the action. For example, in the active sentence "She bought a new car," the subject "she" is in the subjective case and performs the action of buying.  In the passive sentence "A new car was bought by her," the subject "car" is in the objective case and is the recipient of the action. *It's important to note that the passive voice can be used to shift the focus of a sentence away from the subject and onto the object or the action. This can be useful for emphasizing the object or the action, rather than the subject*

 How the subjects and objects are  changed in active and passive voice:- In an active voice sentence, the subject of the sentence performs the action. In a passive voice sentence, the subject of the sentence receives the action. For example, in the active voice sentence "The cat chased the mouse," the subject (the cat) performs the action (chased). In the passive voice version of the same sentence, "The mouse was chased by the cat," the subject (the mouse) now receives the action (was chased). To change a sentence from active to passive voice, you can follow these steps: Find the object of the active sentence (the mouse in this example). Make the object the subject of the new sentence. Add the verb "to be" in the appropriate tense and add the past participle of the main verb (chased in this example). Move the subject of the active sentence (the cat in this example) to the end of the sentence and add the preposition "by." So, to change the active ...

 How to convert an active voice into a passive voice:- In English, a clause can be written in either the active voice or the passive voice. In the active voice, the subject of the clause performs the action expressed in the verb. For example: "The cat chased the mouse." In this sentence, the subject is "the cat" and the verb is "chased." The cat is performing the action of chasing. In the passive voice, the subject of the clause is the recipient of the action expressed in the verb. The verb is usually a form of "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb. For example: "The mouse was chased by the cat." In this sentence, the subject is "the mouse" and the verb is "was chased." The mouse is the recipient of the action of being chased, rather than the performer of the action. *There are no hard and fast rules about when to use the active voice or the passive voice in writing, but the active voice is general...

  Gerund    vs    Present Participle:- (Gerund  versus  present participle): In English, a gerund is a verb form that ends in "-ing" and functions as a noun.  A present participle is also a verb form that ends in "-ing," but it functions as an adjective or as part of a continuous verb tense.  For example: "Swimming is my favorite hobby." (In this sentence, "swimming" is a gerund functioning as the subject of the sentence.) "I am swimming in the pool." (In this sentence, "swimming" is a present participle that is part of the continuous verb "am swimming" and describes the action that the subject, "I," is currently doing.) *It's important to note that not all words that end in "-ing" are gerunds or present participles. For example, "building" can be a noun (as in "The building is tall.") or an adjective (as in "The building materials are expensive* 

  Regular and Irregular Verbs:- In English, verbs can be classified as regular or irregular based on how they form their past tense and past participle. 1:- Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern when they are conjugated. To form the past tense of a regular verb, you add -ed to the base form of the verb. For example: walk -> walked talk -> talked laugh -> laughed To form the past participle of a regular verb, you also add -ed to the base form of the verb. For example: walk -> walked (past tense) walk -> walked (past participle) talk -> talked (past tense) talk -> talked (past participle) 2:- Irregular verbs do not follow the predictable pattern when they are conjugated. They form their past tense and past participle in various ways. Some common irregular verbs include: be -> was/were -> been have -> had -> had go -> went -> gone see -> saw -> seen take -> took -> taken *It's important to memorize the conjugations of irregular v...

  Gerunds and Participles:- Difference between a gerund and a participle: In English, a gerund is a verb that is used as a noun. It is formed by adding -ing to the base form of a verb. For example: "Swimming is my favorite hobby." Or  "I like swimming." In these sentences, "swimming" is the gerund in the form of both subject and object. A participle is a verb that is used as an adjective to modify a noun or pronoun.  There are two types of participles in English: present participles and past participles. Present participles end in -ing, and past participles usually end in -ed, -en, or -t. For example: "I saw a dog barking at the mailman." In this sentence, "barking" is the present participle. "I have finished my homework." In this sentence, "finished" is the past participle. *Gerunds and participles can both be formed from the same verb, but they are used in different ways in a sentence. Gerunds function as nouns, wh...
