Active and Passive Voice Tense Chart

This document provides a table outlining the conjugations of verbs in active and passive voice across tenses in English, including simple, progressive, perfect, and future forms. For each tense (past, present, future) it lists the auxiliary verbs used and how the main verb is modified (using inflections like -ing or past participles). For example, in the present progressive passive voice, "is/are/am" is used plus the verb "being" plus the past participle of the main verb. The table acts as a reference for students to check verb forms in different tenses and voices in English.
