In active sentences, the subject is doing the action of the verb.

In passive sentences, the subject is not doing the action of the verb.

OK -- tell me which of those sentences has a subject that is NOT doing the action of the verb.

Hint: It's not D.

Answered by Writeacher
No.

John ate the hamburger. <~~active voice

The hamburger was eaten by John. <~~passive voice

Which is it? B or C?
Answered by Christopher
I would say A there is no action needing to be performed. B is the action of the subject wanting something C is the action the subject is doing. A has no action being performed just making a statement.
Answered by robin
I said A so what is the correct answer
Answered by Writeacher
C is right.

You really need to study what "active" and "passive" mean. You're incorrect in trying to determine this concept.
