IV. Lesson Proper

What is an Active Voice?
Active voice is when the subject of a sentence performs an action on an object. In
other words, the subject does the action, and the object receives the action.

The active voice is easy to identify in writing because it follows a simple form, which
is the basis of English grammar:

Subject (doer) → Verb → Object (recipient)

Example:
The dog ate my homework.

In this example, "the dog" is the subject, "ate" is the verb, and "my homework" is
the object. Here’s a diagram to better show this connection:

Subject Verb Object

The dog ate my homework

 What is a Passive Voice?

The passive voice is basically the opposite of the active voice: it’s when the subject is
acted upon by the object. In other words, the subject receives the action, and the object
does the action.

The passive voice is a little trickier to identify, as it uses more words than the
active voice. The basic structure is as follows:

Subject (recipient) → Verb (past participle of "to be" form) → Object (doer)

Note that the object here is always preceded by the word "by."

Here’s an example of a sentence using the passive voice:

The ice cream was bought by the little girl.

In this example, "the ice cream" is the subject, "bought" is the verb, and "the little girl" is
the object. Here’s a diagram to help you understand this grammar pattern better:

Subject Verb Object

The ice cream was bought by the little girl
