Voice – is the quality of a verb that shows whether the subject is the doer or
receiver of the action.

ACTIVE VOICE – is used to indicate that the subject of the sentence is the doer of
the action.
Examples:

 The dog ate the bone.
PASSIVE VOICE – is created when the subject is acted upon.
Examples:

F. Generalization
Can we say that a sentence is in the active or passive voice?
How will you change the active to passive?
(A verb that has a direct object is in the active voice. If the acted upon, the verb is in
the passive voice. In changing a sentence from active to passive, the direct object
becomes the subject or doer in the by-phrase.)
