A Powerpoint Presentation about Active and Passive Voice in the English Subject. I'm now a professional teacher and this powerpoint presentation was used during my teaching demonstration in Sicayab National High School.
8. ACTIVE VOICE
Active voice is used to indicate that the
subject of the sentence is the doer of
the action.
Example:
S V O
The boy kicked the ball.
9. Other examples:
A student wrote the winning essay.
Alexander Graham Bell invented
the telephone.
The chef prepared a delicious
meal.
10. passIVE VOICE
Passive voice is created when the subject is
acted upon.
This time, the subject is going to be the ball
because it will be the recipient of the action.
Example:
The ball was kicked by the boy.
11. Other examples:
The winning essay was written by a
student.
The telephone was invented by
Alexander Graham Bell.
A delicious meal was prepared by
the chef.
12. Identify the voice:
1. Raul presented an interesting report.
2. Baseball was played by Joseph.
3. Martin removed the old paint.
4. The national budget was approved
by the congress.
5. She cooked our breakfast meal.
13. Let’s go back!
When can you say that a sentence is
in the active or in the passive voice?
How will you change the sentence
from active to passive voice?
14. Let’s apply!
Group Activity:
The learners are divided into four groups.
