LAS-3 Active and Passive Voice
Concept Notes
Oh My G! (Grammar Consciousness & Awareness)
ACTIVE VOICE
When the subject does or “acts upon” the verb, the sentence
is said to be in the active voice.
What is It
When talking about an action that happened in a specific time in the past, you need to use the simple past tense.
However, before using this tense, it is important to learn the rules in using it. As with any part of English grammar, the
rules of the simple past tense should be applied each time it is used to form grammatically correct sentences. In this
section, you are going to learn how to do this effectively.
Verbs have different forms, called tenses. The tense of a verb tells us when the action happens. Simple past tense shows
that an action started and completed in the past and has no relevance to the present time at all. It can also be used to
describe how someone felt, what their emotional condition was, at a point in the past.
Regular Verbs are verbs which are formed by adding -d or -ed of the word.
Examples:
1. For verbs ending in e, add d. 2. For verbs ending in consonant + y, change y to i and add ed
Example:
2. James had arrived at their house before his mother cooked dinner.
had+ Past Time
Participle Expression
3. After Dwight had eaten dinner, he and his brother watched basketball.
Time had+ Past
Expression Participle
