Grammar: Active/Passive Voice

Voice is a verb form that indicates if the sentence's subject performs or receives an action.

2 Types of Voice:ACTIVE: If the sentence's subject performs the

action, the sentence is written in the active voice. ◦ Example:"The pilot landed the plane" is written in the

active voice since the subject (pilot) performed the action (landed the plane).

PASSIVE: If the sentence's subject receives the action, the sentence is written in the passive voice. ◦ Example: "The plane was landed by the pilot" is written

in the passive voice since the subject (plane) received the pilot's action (landed the plane).

Active/Passive ActivityA few students at a time will

have a sentence strip and we, as a class, will have to place the students in the correct order.

Active/Passive PracticeComplete the handout on your

own paper. This should title Active/Passive Voice and complete under your notes of active/passive voice.
