Hi, firstly if i do any mistakes please feel free to correct me. Direct and indirect, speech are mostly use in speech form, Direct speech is wen there is an instant speech, n indirect speech is a reported speech. so u will have to make grammatical changes. For e.g,\n Marry says,"I am hungry".    this is direct speech, in indirect speech the sentence will b like that, \nMarry said that, she is hungry.\n\nAs in Active n Passive Voice.\nThe sentences in also more concise than in passive voice. In sentences written in active voice, the subject performs the action expressed in the verb; the subject acts.  For e.g\nThe dog bit the boy.  \n\n As in sentences written in passive voice, the subject receives the action expressed in the verb; the subject is acted upon. The agent performing the action may appear in a "by the . . ." phrase or may be omitted.\n\nFor e.g, The boy was bitten by the dog.  I show u another e.g wen the agent is omitted, For e.g, in the active form,  \n\nThe policeman has arrested the thief. \n\nIn the passive form where the agent is omitted. e.g  \n\nThe thief has been arrested.\n \nBut dont forget in both Direct n indirect speech and Passive n Active voice u have to make grammatical changes.  if u need more help pleas dont hesitate to contact me OK.

It depends if it is past tense or present tense.  It "drove" you crazy (happened yesterday)  or it "drives" you crazy (happening right now).  Also, for past tense, "this WAS one of those ....."

yeah, I'm sorry we don't have auxiliars as in English, you'll just have to conjugar el verbo , in your example it would be something like: \n(tu) estarás en la fiesta?, si (yo) estaré \n..of course if you say: ¨si , estaré¨ as a response you'll end up looking dumb :) so just say ¨si¨.

All sentences in English are either in active or passive voice. There are no voiceless sentences. See if this helps.\n\nVoice\n\nEnglish has two voices for verbs: the active and the passive. The basic form is the active verb, and follows the SVO pattern discussed above. The passive voice is derived from the active by changing the verb to its passive form, exchanging the subject and direct object, and marking the former subject with by. The former subject changes to objective case and becomes optional, e.g.\n\n   1. active: I heard the music.\n   2. passive: The music was heard (by me). (Note: me, not I)\n\nThe passive form of the verb is formed by replacing the verb with to be in the same tense, and appending the past participle of the original verb. Thus:\nTense Active voice                 Passive voice\nSimple present I hear the music. The music is heard by me.\nPresent progressive I am hearing the music. The music is being heard by me.\nPast imperfect I was hearing the music The music was being heard by me.\nPast perfect I had heard the music. The music had been heard by me.\nSimple Future I will hear the music. The music will be heard by me.\n\nThis pattern continues through all the composite tenses as well.\n\nThe semantic effect of the change from active to passive is the depersonalization of an action. It is also occasionally used to topicalize (this word does not exist in the English language) the direct object of a sentence. Many writing style guides including Strunk and White recommend minimizing use of the passive voice in English.

No, it's just the perfect tense.\n\nPassive is switching a sentence into something like "The car had been driven by me" when you can just say "I drove the car."\n\nYou're just stating that these particular things happened in the recent past.

form of be + V ing is NOW.  I am typing on my computer (NOW)\n\nform of be + going to Verb (now ing) or form of be + going to be+ verbing--future or near future plans.  I am going to type (later).  OR I am going to be typing (when something else will happen)\n\nvery short answer--I hope this is what you wanted.

isn't it already a passive voice? \n(He didn't perform the action himself, right)

The two are NOT the same thing.\n\nIn your example "going to go to the barber" implies an intention to go to the barber at some time in the future whilst "going to the barber" is the present tense and implies that you are already in the process of going.\n\nFor example, if on the way to the barber's someone stopped you and asked you where you were going, the correct response would be "I'm going to the barber".\n\nIf you were sitting at home and someone asked you what you were intending to do tomorrow you might reply "I'm going to go to the barber". Replying that you were "going to the barber" would be a lie because you would in fact be sitting at home at that present time.

Both are correct but with different emphasis.  "Here I am" lets someone know you're around, but "I am here" puts more emphasis on the precise location.

depends on how you use it....\n\nI was lying down.\nHe is laying down.\n\nOne is past tense the other is present tense.

Grammatically they are both correct.  #2 sounds more natural.  My only source is my Sprachgefühl (feel for language)

This means the sentences are in the passive tense, rather than the preferred, active tense.\n\nExample:\n\n"This was the one that I had wanted." - passive\n\n"I wanted this one." - active\n\nMost of the time, active tense is preferred.

"Direct object of a sentence" isn't a sentence. D: Even then, no part of that sentence is a direct object.\n\nEDIT: Oh, I see what you mean now. Direct is an adjective modifying object.

The difference is the spelling and wording :)

an auxiliary verb is used in front of another verb to alter the meaning,mainly expresses;\nwhen something happens, by transforming a tense of the main verb. eg;ishall\npermission ,obligation\nability to do something\nthe likelihood of something happening \nbe\ncan\ncould\nshall\nshould\ndo\nmay \nmight\nmust\nought\nwill\n would\nhave\nlet

Its a noun or a verb, transitive verb or intransitive verb, depending on context.
