    Let me tell you about it. I don't know if you can understand it.

    First of all, is it understandable that as a verb, whether it is transitive or not, it is followed by an object? “i

    readbooks"The "thing" followed by read, that is, the noun, must be the object in the sentence.

    In this case, it is easy to explain: the passive voice of the transitive verb is to transform the original object of the sentence into the subject, i.e. "books."

    arereadbyme”

    And the intransitive verb, because there is no direct object after it, cannot be transformed into a dynamic one.

    Add to the upstairs again.

    Declarative sentences can have no subject, and declarative sentences without a subject are called imperative sentences, such as "come."

    But passive sentences cannot be without a subject, of course, it is also possible to omit the subject according to the context in the spoken language, but grammatically speaking, the passive sentence must have a subject, just like the imperative sentence of the declarative sentence is more often used in the spoken language.

    First of all, it is necessary to understand that the subject of the passive voice is the party that receives the action, and the intransitive verb does not have the object of the action, such as work is an intransitive verb, and there can be no object (that is, the object of the action).

    Therefore, there will be no words to accept the object of action as the subject, and of course there will be no passive voice. For example:

    sheget

    upearlyinthe

    morning.(get

    up is seen as a phrasal verb, and if there is no object after it, the sentence has no passive voice).

    The intransitive verb has no passive form, its action has no object, but only indicates a certain state. It is not possible to add an object directly, a preposition needs to be added, and an object can be added directly after the transitive verb, and an object cannot be added directly after the intransitive verb, and the preposition must be added first and then the object.

    With the exception of intransitive verbs, both the verbs and the dependent verbs of reflexive pronouns do not have a passive voice.

    Hello, intransitive verbs do not have a passive voice, because intransitive verbs cannot directly receive objects. To put it simply, the passive voice mainly inverts the subject and the object, that is, the subject becomes the object, and the object becomes the subject, and then the tense changes from the active voice to the passive voice. However, because intransitive verbs cannot directly receive objects, they cannot form passive voices.

    If an intransitive verb is added with a preposition, it can take a noun or pronoun as an object. At this point, it can be made into a passive voice. Such as:

    Look intransitive verb, after adding the preposition for, you can take the noun, you can have passive, such as: he was looked for in the party yesterday

Transitive verbs have a passive voice, because only the transitive verb can be followed by the object, and the object can be formed into a passive voice in advance. Intransitive verbs cannot be followed by objects, and it is not possible to change the original object to the subject to form a passive voice.
