Test your understanding of the present simple passive with our quiz. With multiple-choice questions and instant feedback, this quiz is a great way to improve your grammar knowledge.

How to Form the Present Simple Passive

The present simple passive is built with am/is/are plus the past participle of the main verb: ‘Tea is grown in China,’ ‘Reports are checked every Friday,’ ‘I am paid on the first of the month.’ We use this structure when the action itself matters more than who performs it — often because the doer is unknown, obvious, or unimportant to the sentence.

You’ll see the present simple passive constantly in factual, process-based, and formal writing: describing how a product is manufactured, how a rule is enforced, or how a system is maintained. A common mistake is forgetting to match the form of ‘be’ to the subject (using ‘is’ with a plural subject, for example) or leaving out the past participle entirely and just using the base verb.

Present Simple Passive vs. Active Voice

Compare “The company ships the orders every day” (active) with “The orders are shipped every day” (present simple passive) — both are grammatically correct, but the passive version shifts focus onto the orders rather than the company.
