1. Presentation of the Topic

Class, our topic for today is all about
Active and Passive Voice.

Now, do you know what an active and

passive voice is?

Okay before defining what is active and Answers may vary.

passive voice, let’s have first our today’s
words to learn.

2. Words to Learn
Class, as you can remember, we had a
spelling activity earlier. Those spelled
words were the terms that we could
encounter in the discussion. But class, in
order to discover the definitions of each
word. I need first 5 volunteers.

So, here’s my instruction. I have here five

definitions of the words you have spelled
earlier. Those five volunteers will match
these definitions to the corresponding word.
So volunteers please come in front and start
matching it.

 Subject- the person or thing that is

being discussed or described.
 Transitive Verb- expresses an action
and are followed by a direct object.
 Direct Object- a thing or person that
receives the action of the verb.
 Receiver- one that receives the
thing or action.
 Doer- a person who actively does
things.
3. Discussion

Voice is the quality of a verb that shows

whether the subjects is the doer or receiver
of the action.

The Active Voice

Active voice is used to indicate that the
subject of the sentence is the doer of the
action.

Let’s start with our sentences earlier.

S V O
Ma’am Charity bounced the ball.

In the following sentences, note the form of

the verb when the subject is the doer of the
action.

 A student wrote the winning essay.

 Alexander Graham Bell invented
the telephone.
 The chef prepared a delicious meal.

What are the subjects in the sentences? Student, Alexander Graham Bell, Chef

Correct! Observe that the subjects’

students, Alexander Graham Bell, Chef are
the doers of the action.

Now, what are the verbs used? wrote, invented, prepared

Very good! Those verbs are transitive verbs

with direct objects. Thus, when the subject
of the sentence does the action and the verb
has a direct object, we say that the verb is
in the active voice.

The Passive Voice

The passive voice is created when the
subject is acted upon. From the first
sentence, our subject is going to be the
ball.

What happened to the ball? The ball kicked.

Good. Now, who kicked the ball? The ball kicked by the boy.

Very good! Now, study the following

sentences:
 The winning essay was written by a
student.
 The telephone was invented by
Alexander Graham Bell.
 A delicious meal was prepared by
the chef.

In each sentence above, observe that the

subject is the receiver instead of being the
doer of the action.

Note that the form of the verb when the

subjects is the receiver, not the doer of the
action is made up of was + past participle
of the verb. Thus, if the subject is acted
upon, the verb is in the passive voice.

Let us have an exercise.

Identify the voice of the verb in each
sentence.
1. Raul presented an interesting topic. 1. Active
2. Baseball was played by Joseph. 2. Passive
3. Martin removed the old paint. 3. Active
4. The national budget was approved 4. Passive
by congress.
5. She cooked the breakfast. 5. Active

Excellent! Now, let’s change the voice

from active to passive. Study the changes in
the following sentences:

Active Voice Passive Voice

1. The mother carried the baby.
2. Father repaired the old chair.
3. He invented a breathing device for
firefighters.
4. Sam explored the famous
underground river.
5. She interviewed the school
president.
What happened to the subjects, verbs, and
direct object in the sentences in the active
voice?
1. The baby was carried by the mother.
2. The old chair was repaired by father.
3. A breathing device for firefighters was
invented by him.
4. The famous underground river was
explored by Sam.
5. The school president was interviewed
by her.
The subject mother and father became the
receiver of the action in the by-phrase. In
passive voice, the action word carried and
repaired became verb phrases. The direct
 objects baby and chair became the subjects in
the passive voice.
Very well said! I’m glad that you
understand our topic today. So let’s give
ourselves a round of applause.

4. Application

Now class, do you want a race game? Yes Ma’am!

Okay, so kindly divide yourselves into four. Students do as told.

Instruction: I have here different sentences

that are in an active and passive voice. The
students must work together to change it
from active to passive and vice versa.

while incorrect ones get zero. The group to

the game. There’s only 1 minute
preparation for your task.

Are you now ready? Yes Ma’am!

Let the race begin!
