Mastering the Passive Voice: A Practical Guide with Exercises
The passive voice is an essential grammar concept that helps shift the focus from the doer of the action to the action itself. It is commonly used in both spoken and written English, making it an important topic for learners to master. To aid in understanding this structure, we have created a comprehensive booklet that explains the passive voice and provides interactive exercises for effective learning.
What Is the Passive Voice?
In active voice, the subject performs the action:
✔ Ashley eats an apple every day.
In passive voice, the focus shifts to the object receiving the action:
✔ An apple is eaten by Ashley every day.
The passive voice is often used when:
- The action is more important than the subject. (The road was repaired yesterday.)
- The doer of the action is unknown. (The email was sent.)
- The speaker wants to sound more formal or impersonal. (A decision has been made.)
