Change to English passive voice?

Question

----I hate students who annoy me.----

----Students who annoy me are hated---

is the passive voiced sentence grammatically true?

thank you :)

Answer 1

Students who annoy me are hated by me.

If you stop at "hated" the sentence is unclear.  Who's doing the hating?  You?  Everyone in the world?  When changing to the passive voice you have to make sure that what you've come up with makes sense and is crystal clear.

Answer 2

Students who annoy me are hated by me. (passive voice)

I hate students who annoy me. (active voice)

Passive voice is grammatically correct, but English teachers, Profs, etc prefer that you NOT used the passive voice.

Active voice makes it clear who or what the subject of the sentence is and what it/she is doing.  Whenever possible, use the active voice.

Answer 3

In this case you need to have it say "Students who annoy me are hated by me". In English, the passive voice always follows the format of "Subject, -be-, -past participle-, by, -object pronoun-".

However, please note that such a use of the passive voice in the first person, while generally understood, sounds really awkward to a native speaker. Most people generally use the active voice when speaking in the first person.

Answer 4

The second one is passive voice, true, but it doesn't say exactly the same thing.  Students who annoy me are hated by me is more exactly matching.  Or 'Students who annoy me are the recipients of my hatred.' 8^)

Answer 5

You should probably change it to "students who annoy me are hated by me" just to make it more clear.
