(tearing the paper apart)

Thank you Jones! So who tear the paper on my left

hand?

Very good! Jones made the action while the paper

something to do with our lesson for today, and
that is “Active and Passive Voice”

 Now class let us first define what is Active and
Passive Voice.

In active voice, the subject performs the action

denoted by the verb.

So in active voice class, the subject does or "acts

upon" the verb in such sentences. For example,
everyone please read. Marilyn mailed the letter.

In this example, Marilyn, the subject, was doing

the action. Am I clear class? Yes ma’am!

I will give you more examples later comparing with

the passive voice.

Let’s proceed to the passive voice. One can change

the normal word order of many active sentences
(those with a direct object) so that the subject is
no longer active, but is, instead, being acted upon
by the verb - or passive.

So in passive, the subject is being "acted upon".

And also in passive voice, the object will be moved
to the beginning of the sentence and the subject
will be deleted or we can also put it on the last
using “by”. For example, everyone please read. The letter was mailed by Marilyn.

In this example, the direct object from the

previous example was already on the place of the
subject which is “the letter” and the subject here is
being acted upon. Let’s take a look at this draft

In the active voice, “the letter is still a direct

object, and in passive, it was already a subject.
And also in passive voice, we will change the verb:
add a form of BE in front of the verb, and use the
past participle.
AV: He was eating
PV: He was eaten
Let’s have more examples comparing both. Please
read.

Thank you so much. See the difference class. In

3
 active voice, the subject “he” was eating maybe a
fries. While in passive, the subject was being eaten
by something so the subject was being acted upon.

Another example. Please read. AV: Harry ate six shrimp.

PV: Six shrimp were eaten by Harry.

Thank you. In this example, on the active, Harry is

doing the action. On the passive, the six shrimp
was acted upon by Harry.

Do you understand now class? Yes ma’am!

Do you have any questions? None ma’am!

Alright, now I’m going to tell you a short story, a

crime story that will also lead us to our activity
later. So please fasten your seatbelts for we will be
going to travel towards the crime scene. Let’s
imagine that we are citizens on that place.

Are you ready now? Yes ma’am!

The title of this crime story is Bank Robbery at First

National Bank

Police were called to the First National Bank

yesterday. The bank was robbed at 12:15pm. One
million was stolen. No customers were hurt, but
one robber was shot by police.

Seventeen customers were in the bank at the time

of the robbery. They followed the instructions of
the robbers, and dropped to the ground. No

4
 customers were hurt in the robbery. One robber
was shot by a police officer when he tried to leave
the bank. The robber was hit by one bullet, but he
escaped with the other robbers. They drove away
in a white truck. Some of the customers were
interviewed on TV about the robbery. They were
happy to be alive after this terrible experience.

“When the robber was shot, I screamed.”

Many clues were left at the bank. The most

important clues are fingerprints of the robbers.
The fingerprints were found on the desk, on the
doors, and on the guns. Two guns were left at the
bank as the robbers escaped in a car. One robber
was shot, and the blood he left on the floor is
another important clue. The fingerprints and the
blood are being studied by police investigators.

The robbers were filmed by the bank’s cameras,

but they have not been identified yet. The video is
being analyzed by the police. Call the police if you
have any information.
Yes ma’am!

And that’s the story of the Bank Robbery. Did you

understand the story class? Yes ma’am!

Have you imagined it?

Alright! Very good. Now let us proceed to our

activity.

sentence on the right side. And after that, please

But before that, I will be grouping you into 4

groups. Please count off

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENTS RESPONSE

Now class, based on the story we have a while ago,
what have you learned about it or how can you
relate it in real life situation? Yes Jones? When that kind of situation happens, let’s just stay
calm and don’t panic for us to be safe.
