Active and Passive Voice Chart: All Rules, Formulas & Hindi Meaning (Class 9th to 12th)


Active & Passive Voice (हिंदी में समझें)

Active Voice (कर्ता प्रधान): इसमें Subject (काम करने वाला) मुख्य होता है।
Example: I write a letter. (मैं पत्र लिखता हूँ।)

Passive Voice (कर्म प्रधान): इसमें Object (जिस पर काम हुआ) मुख्य होता है।
Example: A letter is written by me. (पत्र मेरे द्वारा लिखा जाता है।)


Golden Rule (सुनहरा नियम):
Passive Voice में हमेशा Verb की 3rd Form (V3) का ही प्रयोग होता है।

★ Pronoun Changes (Subject ⇄ Object)

Active Subject Change to Passive Object
I (मैं)By Me (मेरे द्वारा)
We (हम)By Us (हमारे द्वारा)
You (तुम)By You (तुम्हारे द्वारा)
He (वह-पु.)By Him (उसके द्वारा)
She (वह-स्त्री.)By Her (उसके द्वारा)
They (वे)By Them (उनके द्वारा)
