II. PRESENTATION
Analyze the sentences.
What did you notice class? It is in the form of active and passive
voice, Ma’am.
That’s right! It tells whether the form is
in active or passive voice.
That is what we are to discuss today.

Lesson Proper
Voice is the quality of a verb that
shows whether the subject is the doer or
receiver of the action.

The Active Voice

The active voice is used to indicate that the
subject of the sentence is the doer of the
action.
Let's start with a simple sentence.

S V DO
The boy kicked the ball.

The boy functions as the subject or the doer

of the action, kicked is the transitive verb and
the ball is the object of the verb.

Let's have more examples.

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.

What are the verbs used? wrote, invented, prepared

Very good! Those verbs are transitive verb

with direct objects, thus when the subject of
the sentences does the action and the verb
has a direct object, we say that the verb is in
the active voice.
Remember the pattern of active voice which is
S +V+DO.

Did you understand class? Yes, Ma’am.

Who can give me another examples class? S V DO

She keeps the butter in the fridge.
Very good!

Now, let us proceed to passive voice.

The Passive Voice

In the passive voice, the subject
receives the action expressed in the verb. The
object of the active sentence becomes the
subject of the passive voice. You can
recognize passive voice expressions because
the verb phrase will always include a form of
be such as am, is, was, were, are, or been.
The presence of a be-verb, however, does not
necessarily mean that the sentence is in
passive voice. Another way to recognize
passive voice sentences is that they may
include a "by the..." phrase after the verb; the
agent performing the action, if names, is the
object of the preposition in this phrase. For
example,

The ball was kicked by the boy.

The ball which is the direct object becomes

the subject or doer of the action.

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 subject 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.

Remember the pattern of passive voice which

is S + V (past participle) prepositional phrase.

Did you understand class? Yes, Ma’am.

Here are examples of Active and Passive

Voice in the different tenses.

1. Present Tense
Active: base form or "-s/es" form
Example: The article discusses the effects of
unemployment.

Passive: "am/is/are past participle"

Example: The effects of unemployment are
discussed in the article.

2. Present Perfect
Active: S has/have-ed/-en
Example: He has completed the work.

Passive: has/have been-ed/-en

Example: The work has been completed by
him.

3. Past Tense
Active: base-ed or irregular form
Example: She decorated the walls.

Passive: was/were +-ed/-en

Example: The walls were decorated by her.

4. Past Perfect
Active: had-ed/-en
Example: They had won the game.

Passive: had been + -ed/-en

Example: The game had won by them.

5. Future Tense
Active: will+ base form
Example: She will write a poem.

Passive: will+be+-ed/-en
Example: A poem will be written by her.
Now, study the changes in the following
sentences.

Active Voice
1. The mother carried the baby.
2. Father repaired the old chair.
3. Sam explored the famous underground
river.

Passive Voice
1. The baby was carried by the mother.
2. An old chair was repaired by father.
3. The famous underground river was
explored by Sam.

What happened to the subjects, verbs, The subject mother, father and Sam
and direct objects of the sentences in the became the receiver in the by- phrase
active voice? in passive voice. The action word
carried, repaired and explored
became verb phrases. The direct
objects baby, chair and famous
underground river became the
subjects in the passive voice.
Very well said!

IV. APPLICATION
"Passing the box"
Inspired by the game, passing the bouquet,
the students will pass the box with active and
passive voice sentences inside while the
music is playing. Once the music stops,
whoever holds the box will be the one to pick
one sentence inside the box; he/she will
identify what voice of the verb is the sentence
and he/she will change the sentence into
active voice or passive voice depending on
the sentences that he/she picked.
