CBSE Class 6 English Grammar – Active and

Passive Voice
November 10, 2017 by Fazal — 6 Comments

CBSE Class 6 English Grammar – Active and

Passive Voice
There are two types of voice:

1. Active voice – when the subject in the sentence acts; as:

I read a lesson.
2. Passive voice – when the subject in the sentence is acted upon; as:
A lesson is read by me.

For changing of voice, always remember:

1. Change the subject into object and object into subject. Make the subject of active voice the object of
passive voice and vice-versa.
2. Always use the III form of the verb in passive voice.
3. Use ‘by’ before the object in passive voice.
