Present Simple Passive – Rules, Examples & Practice | Sunny Academy

← Back to grammar

Present Simple Passive is used when we talk about regular actions, facts, or general truths, but the subject receives the action instead of doing it. Structure: is/are + past participle (V3). Example: The room is cleaned every day. ### Why we use the passive - We use passive when the **action/result** is more important than the doer. - The doer (agent) is unknown, obvious, or not important. ### Form am/is/are + past participle (The homework is checked.) ### When to choose Present Simple Passive Use it for routines, rules, and facts: “Tennis is played worldwide.” ### Practice tip Write 5 sentences using this grammar point.
