today, you will have an activity.

This activity is called, “Fix Me, I’m

Shattered!”.

First, group yourselves into two groups.

Are you ready class? Yes, ma’am!

(The teacher will group the class into two.)

Proceed now to your groups class.

I have here two envelopes with strips of
papers inside. All you have to do is to
arrange the jumbled words to form a
sentence within three minutes only.

That is what we are going to discuss today.

Before we’re going to discuss about the

active and passive voice, please read the
objectives first. (Students read the
objectives)
D. Abstraction

What is voice? Please read.

Voice is the quality of a verb that shows

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

Now, let’s define what is active voice. Please

read everyone. (Students read )

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.

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.
Who is the subject or the doer in the
sentence?
What is the transitive verb?
What is the object of the verb?

(Students are raising their

hands)
Expected answers:
The subject is the student,

telephone.
The chef prepared a delicious meal.

What or who are the subjects in the

sentences? Expected answers:

Correct! Observe that the subjects Alexander Alexander Graham Bell,

action.

What are the verbs used? Transitive verb

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?

Who can give me another examples class? (Students are raising their
hands and answers may
Very good! vary.)

Now, let us proceed to passive voice.

Please read the definition of passive voice

The Passive Voice

In the passive voice, the subject receives the (Students read)

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.
Yes, ma’am
Did you understand class?

Here are examples of Active and Passive

Voice in the different tenses.

1. Present Tense
Active: hase 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,

and direct objects of the sentences in the Expected answer:
active voice? In the active voice, the
subject performs the action
(the doer). In the passive
voice, the subject becomes
the receiver of the action.

Values Integration
- Why is clear communication Expected answer:
important? How does active voice Clear communication is
contribute to clearer communication? essential because it allows
for a shared understanding
and avoids
misunderstandings. When
communication is clear,
people can work together
efficiently, make informed
decisions, and build strong
relationships.

Active voice contributes to

clearer communication by
directly connecting the
 subject of a sentence with
the action they are
performing. This makes the
message more direct and
easier to understand. For
example, instead of saying
“The report was written by
the team,” which uses
passive voice, you can say
“The team wrote the report,”
which uses active voice and
makes it clear who is
responsible for the action.
