Examples of Passive Voice in the Subjective Mood

The subjective mood, also known as the first person singular, is a grammatical mood used to express personal thoughts and feelings. Here are some examples of the passive voice in the subjective mood:

Example 1: I am being tortured by the complexity of this subject

Back to first person singular

I am being watched by the all-seeing eye of bureaucratic red tape.

This example illustrates how the passive voice is used to shift the focus from the doer to the receiver.

Example 2: I am being seduced by the siren song of consumerism

Back to first person singular

I am being lured by the promise of a 50% discount.

This example shows how the passive voice can be used to create a sense of inevitability.

Example 3: I am being haunted by the ghosts of grammatical errors past

Back to first person singular

I am being driven mad by the prospect of a poorly constructed sentence.

This example illustrates how the passive voice can be used to create a sense of foreboding doom.
