PRESENT / PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS TENSE SENTENCES
There is an arguement that there are only two TENSES in English. Of course, it is true. If we consider the TENSEas a pure VERB FORM then we have only PRESENT TENSE VERB FORMS and PAST TENSE VERB FORMS. But theTENSE FORM of a VERB shows TIME as well as DEGREE OF COMPLETENESS of an action or event. In this case theTIME factor is considered as PRESENT TIME - PAST TIME - FUTURE TIME and the DEGREE factor is considered asINDEFINITE (SIMPLE) - SIMPLE CONTINUOUS - DEFINITE (PERFECT) - PERFECT CONTINUOUS. Many EnglishGrammarians have taken these factors into consideration and termed the TENSES as PRESENT - PAST - FUTURE .The argument of having only two tenses still prevails! What do you say?

They are the home ofvarious plants and animals. They provide useful things such as fuel, wood, pulpand timber. They attract rainfall. However, forest areas are shrinking on a largescale. Forest lands have been converted to agricultural lands or industrial areas.As a result of this, soil erosion occurs. It is very necessary to conserve forests.This can be done through aforestation.

J A verb is said to be in the “Active Voice”when its form shows that the person or thingdenoted by the “Subject” DOES SOMETHING.J A verb is said to be in the “ Passive V oice”when its form shows that SOMETHING IS DONEto the person or thing denoted by the“Subject” .
RULESJ The ‘Passive voice ’ of a verb is formedby using the “ Past Participle” form of the verbafter using suitable “ Be” form verbs like “ is writ-ten”, “ was written”, “ will be written” or “ isbeing written”, “ was being written”,“ havebeen written ”, “ had been written”, “ will havebeen written”, or “ are sent”, “ were sent”,“ willbe sent”,“ are being sent”,” were being sent”,“ have been sent”, “ had been sent” etc.J The “Object” of the verb in the ‘Ac-tive Voice ’ takes the place of the “ Subject ”in the ‘Passive Voice ’ and the “Subject” ofthe ‘Active Voice ’ occupies the position of the“Object” in the ‘Passive Voice’ .
J If the verb has two “Objects” in the‘Active Voice ’, the sentence can be changedin two ways by using any one of the “Objects”as the “Subject” in the ‘Passive Voice ’.J The word “by” (preposition) is mostlyused before the “Object” in the ‘PassiveVoice’ . If the verb is followed by a prepositonin the ‘Active Voice ’ itself, the same is usedbefore “by”.J Personal pronouns change their formswhen they change their position from that ofthe “Subject” to that of the “Object” .Subject : I We You He She It TheyObject : me us you him her it themJ The ‘Passive ’ forms of the “Present /Past/ Future Perfect Continuous ” and “Fu-ture Continuous ” are more avoided than used.J While transferring sentences from ‘Ac-tive ’ to ‘Passive ’ or vice versa, the “form ” ofthe sentence and “the tense ” never change.
SIMPLE METHODAt first locate the main verb in the
given sentence. Then ask “Who? ” ( Who per-formed the action?) You will get the “Subject” .Now read the “Subject and V erb” togetherand ask “What ” or “Whom ” to know what isor who is involved in the action and you willget the “Object” .
Now, take the “Subject” and place itat the end and bring the “Object” to the firstplace . Change the verb into “ Past Partici-ple” . Add suitable “be” form verb to indicatethe tense and degree .
If there is no answer for the questions“what / whom ” then the verb happens to bean ‘intransitive ’ one. The ‘intransitives ’ can-not be changed into the ‘Passive Voice ’. Youneed an “Object” to change the ‘Voice ’.
Samarth goes to school. ( No object)Samarth tells a story. (Object)A story is told by Samarth.

NEGATIVE PASSIVE TO ACTIVE IMPERATIVE
[ Bedre Foundation for Non-Formal Education, Research and Training, Teachers’ Colony, Chitradurga-1. Ph. 228074 [11
J When we use the exact words of thespeaker, it is called the “ Direct Speech.”J When we report the speech in our ownwords, it is called the “ Indirect Speech” or“ Reported Speech”.
RULESJ We have to incorporate FOUR majorchanges while tranforming a Direct Speechsentence into an Indirect Speech sentence.
1. Change of Reporting Verb:Reporting verb, i.e. the verb outside the
inverted commas, has to be changed depend-ing upon the sentence within the inverted com-mas. (Tense of these verbs doesn’t change.)J If the sentence within the inverted commasis “Assertive” the reporting verb (said) changesas : told, replied, answered, stated, de-clared, narrated, described, communicated,reported etc.J If the sentence within the inverted commasis “Interrogative” the reporting verb (said)changes as : asked, questioned, enquired,inquired, interrogated etc.J If the sentence within the inverted commasis “Imparative” the reporting verb (said) changesas : requested, ordered, advised, com-manded, appealed, directed, guided, etc.J If the sentence within the inverted commasis “Exclamatory” the reporting verb (said)changes as : exclaimed with joy /surprise /wonder or cried with pain / sorrow etc.
DIRECT SPEECH & INDIRECT SPEECH MADE EASY
2. Change of Personal Pronouns:When the reporter uses “I” , it refers
to him. If he uses other pronouns, they referto different persons. So there is a need tochange the persons. They change as :
Direct Speech Indirect SpeechI Person (I / We) He / She / It / TheyII Person (You / You) He / She / It / They
I / We / YouIII Person (He / She) He (.....) / She (.....) /
(It / They) It (.....) / They(.....)
3. Change of Tense Forms:If the Reporting Verb is in the Present
Tense or Future Tense then there is nochange in the tense of the Reported Speech .
Suma says to Samarth , “I write letters.”Suma tells Samarth that she writes letters.
Suma will say to Samarth , “I write letters.”Suma will tell Samarth that she writes letters.
If the Reporting Verb is in the PastTense then the tense of the ReportedSpeech will change as :Simple Present to Simple PastPresent Continuous to Past ContinuousPresent Perfect to Past PerfectPresentPerfectContinuous to Past Perfect ContinuousSimple Past to Past PerfectPast Continuous to Past Perect ContinuousPast Perfect remains Past PerfectPast Perfect Continuous -”- Past Perfect Continuous
Suma said to Samarth , “I write letters.”Suma told Samarth that she wrote letters.
In Future Tense “Will ” and “Shall” changeinto “Would” and sometimes in “Should” . “Can”into “Could” and“May” into “Might” . No otherchange.
There is an exception to this rule. Ifthe sentence is a UNIVERSAL TRUTH thenthe tense should not be changed. e.g.,
Suma said to Samarth , “Blood is red.”Suma told Samarth that blood is red.
4. Change of Nearness to Remoteness:When the reporter refers to a thing near
to him it is certainly in a distance to us. So, thethings which are near in the Direct Speech maybecome far in the Reported Speech as:
Direct Speech Reported SpechThis / That ThatThese / Those ThoseHere / There ThereNow / Then ThenThus SoToday That dayTonight That nightThis week That weekYesterday The day before
The previous dayLast week The previous weekTomorrow The following dayNext week The following week
Suma said to Samarth , “Please, send a letter now.
Suma requested Samarth kindly to send a letter then.
