Word Definition
Active voice
Passive voice

Answer 1

Active Voice: This is a grammatical structure where the subject of the sentence performs the action. In an active voice sentence, the focus is on who is doing the action. For example, "The dog chased the ball" highlights that the dog (the subject) is actively performing the action of chasing.

Passive Voice: This is a grammatical structure where the subject of the sentence receives the action rather than performing it. In a passive voice sentence, the focus shifts to the action itself or the recipient of the action, often making the doer less important or even unknown. For example, "The ball was chased by the dog" emphasizes the ball being chased rather than who is doing the chasing.

2) How do you change an active voice sentence to a passive voice sentence?

Answer 11

1. Changing a passive voice sentence to an active voice sentence: Identify the subject that is receiving the action and the doer of the action, then restructure the sentence to place the doer (the subject) at the beginning. For example, in "The book was read by Sarah," the active version would be "Sarah read the book."

2. Changing an active voice sentence to a passive voice sentence: Identify the subject, the action, and the object of the sentence. Move the object to the beginning of the sentence, turn the action into a form of "to be" plus the past participle of the verb, and include the original subject at the end, often preceded by "by." For example, "The chef cooked the meal" becomes "The meal was cooked by the chef."
