III. Procedure
A. Classroom Management

 You may now take your seat.
2. Checking of Attendance

3. Review
Last meeting, we have tackled about the story entitled “My Father goes to court” by Carlos Bulosan.
What lesson have you learned from the story?

Very good!

B. Motivation
Okay class, I want you to listen in this short scenario;

“John saw a pretty girl. He went to talk to her.

Her husband arrived. The husband hit John on the nose.”

1. What did the husband do? (Active voice is used in the answer)
2. What happened to John? (Passive Voice is used in the answer)

The sentences on the board tells whether it is in the form of active and passive voice. That is what we are going
to discuss now.

C. Abstraction
Voice is the quality of a verb that shows whether the subject is the doer or receiver of the action.

ACTIVE VOICE is used to indicate that the subject of the sentence is the doer of the action

Let’s start with a very simple sentence.

The boy kicked the ball.

S V O

In the following sentence, note the form of the verb when the subject is the doer of the action.
A student wrote the winning essay.
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.
The chef prepared a delicious meal.

What are the subjects in the sentences?

Student, Alexander Graham Bell, chef

Correct. Observe that the subjects are the doers of the action. What are the verbs used?
Wrote invented, prepared

Very good! Those verbs are transitive verb with direct objects, thus when the subject of the sentence
does the action and the verb has a direct object, we say that the verb is in the active voice.
 The PASSIVE VOICE is created when the subject is acted upon or the receiver of the action.

What happened to the ball?

The ball kicked.
Good. Now who kicked the ball?
The ball was kicked by the boy.

Very good! Now, study the following sentences:

The winning essay was written by a student.
The telephone was invented by alexander Graham Bell.
A delicious meal was prepared by the chef.

In each sentence above, observe that the subjects are the receiver instead of being the doer of the
action. Note that the form of the verb when the subject is the receiver, not the doer of the action is made up
of was+past participle of the verb. Thus if the subject is acted upon, the verb is in the passive voice.

Let us have an exercise.

Identify the voice of the verb in each sentence.

1. Raul presented an interesting report.
2. Baseball was played by Joseph.
3. Martin removed the old paint.
4. The national budget was approved by congress.
5. She cooked the breakfast.

Excellent!
Changing the voice from active to passive. Study the changes in the following sentences:

Active Voice Passive Voice

1.The mother carried the baby. 1.The baby was carried by the mother.
2.Father repaired the old chair. 2.An old chair was repaired by father.
3.Sam explored the famous underground river. 3.The famous underground river was explored by
Sam.

What happened to the subjects verbs and Direct object in the sentences in the active voice?

The subject mother and father became the receiver in the by-phrase in passive voice. The action
word carried and repaired became verb phrases. The direct objects baby and chair became the subjects in the
passive voice.

Very well said!

I’m glad that you understand our topic today.
So let’s give ourselves a round of applause.
 D. Generalization
Therefore, when can you say that a sentence is in the active or in passive voice? How will you change the active
to passive and passive to active?
A verb that has direct object is in the active voice. If the subject is acted upon, the verb is in the
passive voice . In changing a sentence from active to passive, the direct objects become the subjects or doer in
the by-phrase.
