VOICE of Verbs
SLIDESMANIA.COM
Voice of Verbs
- The voice of the verb determines whether the subject is
the DOER or RECEIVER of the action.
- Voice is classified as ACTIVE or PASSIVE.
ACTIVE The secretary will read the report.
PASSIVE The report will be read by the secretary.

SLIDESMANIA.COM
ACTIVE Voice
When the subject of a sentence performs the verb’s action, we say that the
sentence is in the active voice. Sentences in the active voice have a strong,
direct, and clear tone.
Steps to identifying if it is in the Active Voice:
Step 1: Find the subject.

Step 2: Find the verb.
Step 3: Did the subject perform the action?

SLIDESMANIA.COM
PASSIVE Voice
A sentence is in the passive voice when the subject is acted on by the verb. The
passive voice is always constructed with a conjugated form of to be plus the
verb’s past participle. That sounds much more complicated than it is—passive
voice is actually quite easy to detect.
Passive Voice Characteristics:
1. The Passive Voice has the form of the verb to be.

2. The Passive Voice uses the past participle of the verb.
3. The subject of the sentence is being acted upon.
SLIDESMANIA.COM
PASSIVE Voice Common forms of to be plus a past participle:
be be + provided, allotted
is is + anticipated, created
are are + shaken, made
was was + broken, affected
were were + found, sold
has/have been has been / have been + received, elected
will be/will have been will be + will have been + finished, awoken
is/are/was/ were being is / are / was / were being + driven, proven
