Lesson
Every day in our lives, we use active and passive voice. Before we talk about
active voice and passive voice, it is very important to know about voice. Voice
indicates whether the subject acts (doer) or is acted upon (receiver). In the following
activities, you will learn whether the sentence is active or passive and how to
change active to passive voice. Being able to determine it is very important for
effective communication both in written and oral context.
What’s In
____________________________________________.
What is your answer?
In this sentence,who is the doer of the action? Is it “the boy” or “the ball?”
If you answered, “the boy”, you are right!
How about the receiver of the action? Is it “the boy” or “the ball?”
If you answered, “the ball”, then you are on the right track.
But we will try to learn that in the later part of this module.
Let’s try another one!

2. painting/ Gabe/ a beautiful/ is made/ by
____________________________________________________.
In this sentence, the doer of the action (subject) is the receiver of the action.
To learn more about active and passive voice, let us move on to the different activities
of this module.

sentences.

While on a Break
Sissy R. Ragol
While on a coffee break at work, two best friends, Mirajane and Lucy talked
about how they spent their ECQ lockdown.
Mirajane: Hi Lucy! It’s been a while since I last saw you. You look amazing! Staying
indoors for 2 months suits you well. What’s your secret?
Lucy: It was not easy! Since we are all advised to stay indoors, instead of just
staying in bed and doing nothing, the family decided to do something
worthwhile and productive!
Lucy: Well, first, my mom divided the chores to all of us. My brother cooks our
food while the dishes are washed by my sister and I clean the house.
Mirajane: Your mom did a great job in dividing all the household chores among all
of you. What else did you guys do?
Lucy:Yes, she did! It was her way of keeping us responsible. The house was
repaired by dad and art painting was mastered by my brother. We can’t
believe he has such talent. All the paintings were sold by mom online.
We got pretty good cash with it. They were bought in a good price.
Mirajane: Is that so? Wow I want to see his works! I have no talent in painting.
Lucy: You can’t believe his works. They’re superb! I have no talent in such also. In
my case, I focused on keeping my body healthy. I exercised a lot that’s
why I’m in a good shape right now. How about you?
Mirajene: That answers why you look so good right now! Well, I read a lot of
books. It is kind of boring, but reading is my thing. I finished all Paulo
Coelho’s novels.
Lucy: You’ve been a book lover ever since so I’m not surprised at all.
Mirajane: It just makes me sad because some of my books were put into garage
sale.
Lucy: (looking at her watch) Oh my, break time is almost over. Let’s go back to
work. Let’s talk again some other time.
8
Mirajane: Oh, I didn’t notice it. Sure Lucy, let’s catch up some other time. Send my
regards to your family.
Have you noticed the sentences in the dialogue? You’re right, the ones that are
highlighted are the active and passive sentences. Now let us try if you can identify
them.
DIRECTIONS: The sentences below are taken from the dialogue that you have just
[Link] the following sentences whether they are active or passive voice by
putting it in the chart.

Were you able to put all the sentences correctly?
What is It
The highlighted words in the dialogue that you have just read are examples of
active voice and passive voice.
When the subject of a sentence performs the verb’s action, we say that the
sentence is in the active voice. Sentences in the active voice have a strong, direct,
and clear tone. Here are some short and straightforward examples of active voice.
In this example, “My brother” (subject) is the doer of the action “cooks” and
“food” receives the action
A sentence is in the passive voice, on the other hand, when the subject is acted
on by the verb. The passive voice is always constructed with a conjugated form of to
be plus the verb’s past participle. Doing this usually generates a preposition as
well. That sounds much more complicated than it is—passive voice is actually quite
easy to detect. For this example of passive voice, we will transform the active
sentence above to illustrate the difference.
In this example, take note that “my brother” is now acted upon by the verb
“cooks”, and the receiver of the action “food” becomes the subject. A preposition
“by” is also added in the passive voice.
10
Steps on how to change the sentence from active voice to passive voice.
Step 1: Identify the subject, the verb, and the object (SVO)
Step 2: The object will become the subject
(Simple Tense)
FUTURE TENSES
Passive forms: will + be + past participle
is/are going to be + past participle
11
Now, try to go back to your first activity and check whether you have
identified correctly the active and passive sentences.
