The document provides information about the active and passive voice in English grammar. It explains that the active voice is the normal voice where the subject performs the action on the object. The passive voice is less common and the object becomes the subject that receives the action. Examples are given of changing sentences from active to passive voice by changing the subject and adding "be" verbs. The document also includes a fill-in-the-blank exercise for students to practice forming sentences in the passive voice.
