C. Presentation of the Lesson

Now, let’s go back to the sentences.

The teacher flashes the slide. The students focus their eyes on the slide.

Group 1, kindly, read sentence number 1. Group 1 reads the sentence.

I sing the song.
Thank you!

How about sentence number 2, second Group 2 reads the sentence.

group. The song is played by me.

So class, are the two sentences different

in meaning?
Who says yes? Some of the students raise their hand.
Thank you.

How about no?

For those say yes, all of you are correct. Some students smile for a moment.

The two sentences are the same on

Today, we will be discussing the The students are excited to know more

of verb, the Active and Passive
voice.
D. Development of the Lesson
1. Brainstorming (Speaking)
I already introduced to you the
two voices of verbs. Again, what
are these two voices?
Yes calls a student. Active and Passive voice, ma’am.
Correct!

So, would you mind to give me the

definition of active voice?
Yes calls a student. The subject performs the action, ma’am.

Very good!
 Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

Therefore, give an example of a sentence

in active voice. Yes calls a student. The manager meets the workers.

Excellent!

The other type of voice the passive voice.

Can you define it? Kindly, calls a student. The subject is acted upon the object of the
verb.
Very good!

Therefore, give an example of a sentence

in passive voice. Yes calls a student. The cake is eaten by the boy.

2. Discussion and Interaction (Listening,

Reading, and Speaking)

The teacher uses her PowerPoint and

chalkboard to discuss her topic.

Now that you already know the definition The students listen to the discussion.
of the two voices of verbs, we are going to
discuss the difference of this two.

The teacher flashes the slide.

The teacher shows a picture of a girl

singing a song.
Kindly read the sentence group 1. Ana sings a song.

Thank you!

Now, is this sentence an active or passive

voice? Yes calls a student. Active voice, ma’am.

Very good!

In active voice, the sentence pattern of it

only composes of three parts. The subject,
main verb, and the object. Do you get it? Yes, ma’am.

The teacher explains another example. The students participate actively.

Next…

The teacher flashes the slide to show the

picture of a boy playing drums.

Group 2 kindly read the sentence. The drums are played by Tom.

Thank you!

If the active voice of verb has three parts,

 Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

passive has five parts. What are those

five? Yes calls a student. The object, auxiliary verb, main verb, the
word by, and subject ma’am.
Very good!

One of the easiest ways in determining if

the sentence in passive voice is the word
by. Understand, class? Yes, ma’am.

The teacher explains another example. The students participate in the discussion.

So, those are the sentence pattern for

each voice of verbs. Do you understand
the difference now? Yes, ma’am.

Then, let’s have a short drill. Identify the

correct voice of the following:

1. Shane bought a new car. 1. Active Voice

2. A poem is written by Helen. 2. Passive Voice
3. They won the game. 3. Active Voice
4. The steak was grilled by the cook. 4. Passive Voice

Good job, class! The students smile for a while.

Always remember the pattern of these two

voices of verb. Understand? Yes, ma’am.

We are not through yet in those sentence

patterns because we are going to use
them in converting active voice to passive
voice. The students are excited to know more
about the lesson.
But before we proceed in converting, let’s
discuss first some set of rules to be
followed in converting.

The teacher posts the cartolina in the

chalkboard.

There are set of rules to be used in

converting active to passive voice.

Group 2, kindly read the two basic rules in Group 2 read the rules.
converting active voice to passive voice.

Thank you!

In the first rule, it simply explains that the

places of the subject and object should The students listen intently to the discussion
change.
 Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
While in rule two, the main verb or the
action in passive voice must be in the third
form of the verb or the past participle of
the verb.

Here are some examples of Past participle

of the verb.

The teacher flashes the slide and explains

it further.

Got it, class? Yes, ma’am.

Next set of rules. Kindly read what

auxiliary verbs we are going to use, group
1. The first group read the rules.

Thank you, group 1.

These words give emphasis to the main

verb used. And they can only use
depending on the tense of the verb.

Additional information class. In English,

there are subject and object pronouns.

The teacher flashes the slide and explains

what’s in it.

Let us discuss some examples for each so

that you can understand it well.

The teacher writes on the chalkboard.

The teacher teaches the students.

Class, what is the sentence an active or Some students raise their hands.
passive?
Yes calls a student. Active voice, ma’am.

Good job! In this sentence what is the Some students raise their hands.
verb?
Yes calls a student. Teaches, ma’am.

Very good!

Now, what do you think is the tense of the Some students raise their hands.
verb “teaches”?
Give your answer calls a student. Present tense, ma’am.

Alright! Remember class, in identifying the

tense of the sentence check the main verb
 Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

always. Got it? Yes, ma’am.

Let us now convert this sentence into

passive. Using the two set of rules and the
pattern of passive voice (object + auxiliary
verb + main verb + by + subject).

The teacher explains the example.

Is it clear? Yes, ma’am.

The teacher explains other examples.

We are done discussing the proper usage

of the auxiliary verbs under present tense.
Moving on, there are also auxiliary verbs
here to be used if the tense of the verb is
past.

The teacher writes the example.

The teacher taught the students.

Group 3 kindly read the sentence. The third group read the example sentence.

Thank you!
Do you observe some difference of this
sentence from the first example I have
given? Yes, ma’am.

Kindly explain why you say yes, calls a

student. The word teaches was changed into taught,
ma’am.
Very good!

The word teaches become taught because The students participate actively in the

The teacher explains the examples under

past tense.
