Presentation transcript:

Active Voice and Passive Voice www.thepunctuationshow.com

An action within a clause can be expressed in one of two ways. We refer to this as the active voice and passive voice. www.thepunctuationshow.com

The active voice has the subject of the clause as the active part. For example: The mouse ate the cheese. In this example, the mouse is doing something. It is eating the cheese; the mouse is active. www.thepunctuationshow.com

For example: The passive voice has the subject acted upon. The cheese was eaten by the mouse. In this example, the cheese is the subject, but it is passive. The mouse is still doing the eating and takes attention away from the subject. www.thepunctuationshow.com

Your turn Is the following sentence in active or passive voice? The game was arranged by my brother. www.thepunctuationshow.com

The game was arranged by my brother. That’s right! The game was arranged by my brother. The sentence is passive. The ‘game’ is the subject and the verb ‘arranged’ is being done to it. www.thepunctuationshow.com

Remember! The passive voice will take the attention away from the subject of the sentence. www.thepunctuationshow.com
