C. Discussion

Active vs. Passive Voice

The relationship of the subject to the verb in a sentence is called the voice. A sentence is written
in the active voice if the subject is doing the action of the verb. Example: Mr. Reyes donated the
X-ray machine.

The active voice is straightforward and clear. It focuses on the subject doing the action. A
sentence is written in the passive voice if the subject receives the action. Example: The X-ray
machine was donated by Mr. Reyes.

The passive voice is only effective if the person or thing doing the action is unspecified or
unknown. It is also effective if the receiver of the action is to be emphasized.

Example:
The hospital was built in the 1950s. (The person behind construction of the hospital is

unknown.)

A donation worth ₱1M was received by the organization. (The receiver of the action is
emphasized.)

E. Evaluating Learning/Application

team players are inspiring role models. These players are always reminded by Kuya Noli to play
fair and to play hard. The team has been guided by Kuya Noli with dedication and heart. In turn,
I saw how every game was played with utmost dedication by these young men. Indeed, a team
