In a paragraph of 3–5 sentences, first write a sentence that uses a shift in voice. Then explain why the shift is incorrect. Finally, write a sentence that corrects the shift..

Answer 1

Shift in voice: "The students turned in their assignments, but it was not graded yet."

Why it's incorrect: This sentence shifts from active voice ("students turned in their assignments") to passive voice ("it was not graded yet").

Correction: "The teacher had not yet graded the assignments turned in by the students." This sentence maintains consistent active voice and clarifies who is responsible for grading the assignments.
