Gerunds and Infinitives

A gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding "ing."

You can use gerund negative or affirmative form. You can use an geriund as the subject:

Example negative: I have Driving

Example affirmative: I prefer not driving

As subjects: Owning a car cost a lot is expensive

Infinitives are the "to" form of the verb. You can use an infinitive as the subject.

Some verbs are followed by infinitives: She wants to go to a movie.

Example as a subject: It cost a lot to own car

      

Passive

Use of Passive

Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action

Present Passive

Am is are + Past Participle (+ by + noun)

Past Passive

Was Were + Past Participle (+ by + noun)

Personal and Impersonal Passive

Personal Passive simply means that the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. So every verb that needs an object (transitive verb) can form a personal passive.

Example: They played a piano. – Played a piano.

Impersonal Passive: Verbs without an verb normally cannot form a personal passive sentence. If you want to use an intransitive verb in passive object intransitive voice, you need an impersonal construction

Example: he says – it is said
