The document discusses the difference between active and passive voice. In active voice, the subject performs the action, while in passive voice the subject receives the action. Passive voice sentences tend to be more wordy and less concise than active voice. However, passive voice is preferable when the actor is unknown or unimportant, or when the focus should be on the receiver of the action. The document provides examples of changing sentences from active to passive voice and vice versa. It also lists some advantages of using active voice over passive voice.

Transitive and intertransitive verbs
This document discusses the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs. A transitive verb takes a direct object, answering the question "what?" or "whom?" after the verb. An intransitive verb does not take a direct object. Some verbs can be both transitive and intransitive depending on how they are used in a sentence. Examples are provided to illustrate transitive verbs like "wrote" and "shook" as well as intransitive verbs like "applauded" and "shook." The document concludes by noting verbs are complex but essential to sentences and advises keeping writing simple.
PASSIVE VOICE 22
This document discusses passive and active voice in English grammar. It defines passive voice as sentences where the subject is receiving the action of the verb, rather than performing the action. The passive voice uses a form of "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb. It provides examples of active versus passive sentences. It also discusses when to use passive voice, such as when the actor is unknown, irrelevant, or being vague. It notes that passive voice is commonly used in scientific writing. The document concludes by explaining how to change sentences from active to passive voice and vice versa through rearranging parts of speech.
Brayan marroquin
This document provides instructions for teaching the passive voice to students through engaging activities. It recommends that teachers:
1. Demonstrate actions in the classroom and have students describe what happened in both active and passive voice, such as "Ms. Rodriguez dropped a pen" and "The pen was dropped."
2. Compare how the subject and verb change between active and passive sentences.
3. Provide additional examples using different tenses and sentence structures like questions.
4. Discuss real-world contexts where the passive voice is commonly used, like describing actions of the government. The goal is to actively involve students in using the passive voice, rather than just explaining grammar rules.

Presentation
The document discusses the differences between active and passive voice in writing. In the active voice, the subject performs the action, while in the passive voice the subject receives the action. Certain types of writing, like news reports, are better suited to the passive voice when the performer of the action is unknown or unimportant. However, the active voice is generally clearer and more direct. Knowing when to use active or passive voice is important for effective writing.
Active and passive
This document discusses the difference between active and passive voice in English grammar.

Noun clauses function like nouns and can serve as subjects or objects within sentences. The document provides examples of noun clauses introduced by question words like what, where, when, etc. and demonstrates how they are used in sentences.
Change of voice
This document provides information about active and passive voice in sentences. It defines active voice as having the subject perform the action of the verb, while passive voice has the subject acted upon by the verb. Using passive voice is generally discouraged as it can obscure meaning. The document then gives extensive examples of changing sentences between active and passive voice based on tense, including examples with modal verbs. It also covers changing imperative, interrogative, and negative sentences between active and passive voice.
Active And Passive Voice
The active voice is when the subject performs the action of the sentence, while the passive voice is when the subject receives the action. The active voice uses active verbs to convey action and is generally stronger, more direct, and clearer than the passive voice. However, the passive voice has its uses, such as when the actor is unknown, to change emphasis or pace, or to take a gentler or more objective tone. Writers should rely more on the active voice but not use it exclusively.
Lectures
The document provides information about active and passive voice in English grammar. It explains that passive voice delays the action of the subject and identifies words that indicate passive constructions like "are", "be", and "by". While passive voice can be appropriate in creative writing, it is generally better to use active voice in academic, professional, and technical writing to be more direct and concise. The document encourages exploring different perspectives on an issue to critically engage with the topic rather than just stating a single solution.

The rules for converting between active and passive voice are also outlined

Editor's Notes
- Passive—the subject is acted upon
- The subject acts
- find the subject in a "by the..." phrase, or consider carefully who or what is performing the action expressed in the verb. Make that agent the subject of the sentence, and change the verb accordingly. Sometimes you will need to infer the agent from the surrounding sentences which provide context.
