Verbs and Voice
Voice is the form a verb
takes to indicate whether the
subject of the verb performs
or receives the action.
There are two types of voice:
active voice and passive
voice.
Why does it matter?
STRONG
WRITING USES
ACTIVE VOICE!!!!
Why does it matter?
 Active voice is more direct and concise.

 Passive voice is usually wordier.
ACTIVE: The boy ate the cake.

PASSIVE: The cake was eaten by the boy.
 Active voice is like watching Lebron play.

 Passive voice is like watching a gum stuck on the
bleachers in the stands.
MOST OF THE TIME, YOU WANT TO USE ACTIVE

VOICE!!!!
Active Voice
Active voice is used to show that the subject of
the sentence is performing or causing the
action.
Example:
Lebron threw the basketball before the
buzzer.
Lebron shot the basketball from the free
throw line.
Lebron scored three points.
Examples
Active Voice
The boy kicked the ball.
Subject Verb Direct Object
Passive Voice
The ball was kicked by the boy
Subject Auxiliary Verb Preposition Direct Object
When would you WANT to use
passive voice?
 When intentionally trying to hide the subject of the
sentence.
For example, a politician might say, “The mistake was made
by someone.” Hiding the subject helps him/her hide the
blame.
 When intentionally trying to minimize the guilt of the

subject.
For example, a cheating boyfriend might say, “Cheating was
committed by me.”
 When passive voice better emphasizes the main point of

the message, such as “Children were harmed by the
drunk driver.”
Form of Passive Voice Verbs
The passive voice requires a "double verb"

and will always consist of a form of the verb
"to be" and the past participle (usually the
"en/ed/t" form) of another verb.
Example:
Active: John baked the bread.
Passive: The bread was baked by John.
(Was is a form of the verb “be”.)
 Writers should be familiar with the

forms of "to be" , often called linking
verbs, so that they can easily identify
the passive voice in their work.
 Review the forms of "to be":
 am, is, are, was, were, be,

being, been
 Note the forms of "to be" in the examples
of the verb "to kick" in various forms of the
passive voice:
is kicked----------------had been kicked

was kicked-------------is going to be
kicked
is being kicked---------will be kicked
has been kicked-------can be kicked
was being kicked------should be kicked
Sometimes ………………….
Passive Voice
Passive voice is used when the subject

is the recipient of the action.
Example:
The ball was thrown by Lebron.
The basket was shot by Lebron.
The score was made by Lebron.
 Examples:
 Passive: The cookies were eaten by the
children.
 Active: The children ate the cookies.
 Passive: The tunnels are dug by the

gophers.
 Active: The gophers dug the tunnels.
