So, what is Voice of Verbs?

Voice is the quality of verb that shows whether

the subject of the sentence is the doer or
receiver of the action.

2 Voices of the Verb

1. Active Voice
2. Passive Voice

The Active Voice

The active voice is used to indicate that the
subject of the sentence is the doer of the action.

Let’s start with a simple sentence.

S V DO
The boy kicked the ball

The boy functions as the subject or the doer of

the action, kicked is the transitive verb and the
ball is the object of the verb.

Let’s have more examples.

Sam ate the apples.

Subject verb object
(doer) (receiver)

Remember the pattern of active voice which is (Student’s participating)

S + V + DO.

Did you understand class?

Who can give me another examples class?

Very good class! Okay let’s proceed

The Passive Voice

The subject receives the action expressed in the
verb. The object of the active sentence becomes
the subject of the passive voice.

Example:

The ball was kicked by the boy.

Subject be-verb=past participle Object
(receiver) of the main verb (doer)

The apples were eaten by Sam.

Subject be-verb=past participle Object
(receiver) of the main verb (doer)

Remember the formula is Subject(receiver)

+verb (be-verb+past participle)+ by + object
(doer)

In present tense..
( am, is, are+ past participle)

In past tense..
(was, were+ past participle)

In future tense..
(will, shall+ past participle)
