The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between inflectional change and the development of the passive construction in English. Most of PIE contains a set of verbal desinences called medio- passives, but no endings for the passive voice. So at that time, there was an active and a middle voice but no passive. The medio-passive inflectional category was used to express middle or passive in meaning. And this phenomenon continued to appear in early Old English period. The English passive was also developed from the medio-passive. Old English had a rather elaborate inflectional system, but much of this had withered away by Middle English. The disappearance of inflectional endings which could carry passive meaning indicated a search for a new device to express the passive notion such as be+PP. In this study, we dealt with the passive constructions such as dynamic passive and statal passive, and the indirect passive. In disagreement with Jespersen’s insistence, this study claims that the indirect passive construction already existed in Old English and it developed throughout the Middle English period. We tried to give an overview of the relationship between inflectional change and the development of the passive construction.
