Think about what you have learned about different functions of verbs, as well as the active and passive voice. Explain an activity you have done in the active voice, using a verb or several verbs in different functions. Then change the same explanation to the passive voice.

Answer 1

Active Voice: I completed a project yesterday.

In this sentence, the verb "completed" is functioning as the main verb. It shows the action being performed by the subject, which is "I." The verb "completed" indicates that I am the one who actively finished the project.

Passive Voice: The project was completed by me yesterday.

In the passive voice, the subject becomes the recipient of the action, not the performer. In this sentence, the subject is "The project," and the verb "was completed" indicates that the project underwent the action. The doer of the action, "me," is mentioned using the prepositional phrase "by me."
