VOICE
Ex. THROW

Voice is the form a verb takes to indicate

whether the subject of the verb performs or
receives the action.
 Transitive Verb = always
Indirect Object= to
asks the question

Active Voice
whom it was given?
WHAT?
Direct Object= what
Subject= who is was given?
Transitive Indirect
being talked about Direct Object
Subject Verb Object
in the sentence?
Friar Lawrence
DOER of the ACTION
gave Juliet a potion
RECEIVER of the ACTION
that would render her lifeless.
Object Complement

When using the active voice, the subject is the

one who is in control of or performing the
action.
just like how an active learner always performs and is in control (of their own learning) ☺
 Subject= what is Transitive Verb = always
being talked about
in the sentence? Passive Voice asks the question
WHAT?
Direct Object= what is
CLIMBED? Subject / Direct Object
The orchard walls of Capulets are climbed by
RECEIVER of the ACTION Linking Transitive
Romeo. Verb verb
DOER of the ACTION

When the object of the sentence (direct or

indirect) is having something done to it and is
used as a subject, the verb is passive.
just like how a passive learner only receives information but does not perform!
 Transforming Voices
When changing active voice to passive voice
and vice versa, consider the:
• tense of the verb
• number of the verb: singular or plural
• the doer and the receiver of the action
• do transition
 Active to Passive
• The passive voice requires a “double verb:” a to-be verb (linking
verb) and an action verb in past participle form (-en, -ed, -t)
• Passive voice contains a “by”-phrase indicating who or what
performed the action.
• Remember the structure of the passive voice: the object/s
become/s the subject of the sentence.
S TV DO
Active: Romeo kissed the hands of Juliet.
DOER of the RECEIVER of the ACTION
ACTION
S / DO LV TV
The LV in passive voice Passive: The hands of Juliet were kissed by Romeo.
follows the tense of TV RECEIVER of the ACTION DOER of the
in active voice. ACTION
Or it could be: Juliet’s hand was kissed by Romeo.
 Passive to Active
• Recognize what/who is the subject of the
sentence, and then rewrite the sentence so the
subject is the one performing the action.
S / DO LV TV
Passive: The brightest light and torches are outshined
RECEIVER of the ACTION
by Juliet’s beauty. DO
DOER of the ACTION
The tense of the verb TV DO
S
in active voice
follows the tense of
Active: Juliet’s beauty
DOER of the ACTION
outshines the brightest lights
RECEIVER of the ACTION
LV in passive voice. and torches.
RECEIVER of the ACTION
DO
What’s the matter with the voices?

Why do we use active voice? Passive

voice?

Where do we use active voice? Passive

voice?
Active & Passive: two voices which can be used to create
a unified song (that is, a speech or writing)
• Active Voice is more direct, more concise. It clearly
states the relationship between the subject & verb.
It ensures responsibility of the doer.
• Passive voice is usually wordier and less direct. We
use it when we do not know or we do not want to
emphasize the performer of the action but you
want to do it on the receiver of the action.
* BOTH are acceptable forms of sentences which can be used in creating an oral or
written expression. It depends according to one’s desired focus, tone, and purpose such
as to express oneself in various ways.
