Haryana Board 9th Class English Grammar Change of Voice

अंग्रेजी में Voices दो प्रकार के होते हैं :
1. Active Voice : जब वाक्य का कर्ता (Subject) कार्य करता है तो उस वाक्य का verb (क्रिया) Active Voice में होता है।
2.Passive Voice: जब वाक्य का कर्ता (Subject) कार्य नहीं करता, बल्कि उस(कत्ता) पर कार्य किया जाता है तो उस वाक्य का verb (क्रिया) Passive Voice में होता है। वाक्यों में subject (कत्ता) की बजाए object (कम) पर अधिक महत्त्व दिया जाता है।

Example:
Active : Mohan wrote a letter. (मोहन ने एक पत्र लिखा।)
Passive : A letter was written by Mohan. (मोहन द्वारा एक पत्र लिखा गया।)

उपर्युक्त दोनों वाक्यों का अर्थ वास्तव में एक ही है। मगर पहले वाक्य में subject (Mohan) कार्य करने वाला है अर्थात् पत्र को लिखा। मगर दूसरे वाक्य में subject ने कोई कार्य नहीं किया बल्कि कार्य उस पर किया गया अर्थात् पत्र को लिखा गया। दूसरे शब्दों में, हमने अब पहले वाक्य के object को subject बनाकर उसको अधिक महत्त्व दिया है। इसलिए पहला वाक्य Active Voice का है और दूसरा वाक्य Passive Voice का है।

Active Doice से Passive Doite बनाने के सामान्य नियम :
Active Voice से Passive Voice बनाने के लिए वाक्य में नीचे लिखे चार मुख्य परिवर्तन किए जाते हैं-
1. Subject को Object में बदल देते हैं और Object को Subject में।
2. Verb ‘be’ के किसी रूप (is, am, are, was, were, being. been) का प्रयोग करते हैं और साथ में मुख्य verb की IIIrd form का प्रयोग होता है।
3. Subject को Object बनाने पर इससे पहले “by” preposition का प्रयोग करते हैं।

नोट – कभी कभी ‘by’ के स्थान पर किसी अन्य Preposition जैसे with, in, to, at, in आदि का भी प्रयोग किया जा सकता है।
4. अगर वाक्य में दो Object हों तो उनमें से किसी को भी Subject बनाया जा सकता है। पहले Subject और Object के आपसी परिवर्तन और verb “be” के रूपों का अध्ययन अच्छी प्रकार कर लें।

Subject और Object के आपसी परिवर्तन और 3 का प्रयोग :
1. अगर subject कोई सर्वनाम (Pronoun) है, तो उसे objective case में बदल देना चाहिए; जैसे-
1 को me में बदलते हैं।
We को us में बदलते हैं।
You को you ही रहने देते हैं।
He को him में बदलते हैं।
She को her में बदलते हैं।
It को it ही रहने देते हैं।
They को them में बदलते हैं।

नोट:
(a) Noun दोनों अवस्थाओं अर्थात् subject और object में एक-जैसा रहता है; जैसे Mohan को by Mohan में बदल देंगे।
(b) Object को Subject में बदलने के लिए उपयुक्त नियमों को उलट दीजिए; जैसे me का । बन जाएगा और us का we आदि।

2. My आदि pronouns का रूप objective case में नहीं बदला जाता; जैसे My friend, our mother, his father का by my friend, by our mother, by his father आदि ही बनता है।

नोट – किसी tense को passive में बदलने के लिए क्या नियम लागू होते हैं। यह आगे विस्तार से समझाया गया है। विद्यार्थी tense को बदलने के सब नियमों को संक्षेप में जानने के लिए आगे दी गई Table (तालिका) का अध्ययन करें।
