Verbs are either in active or passive voice. We use Active Voice most of the time. Active Voice has subject first and object second. In the Active Voice, the object receives the action of the verb. In Passive Voice it is the opposite. In the Passive Voice, the subject receives the action of the verb. In the Active Voice, the subject and verb relationship is straightforward; the subject is the do-er (of the action). In the Passive Voice, the subject of the sentence is not a do-er (of the action). Passive voice is used when the action is the focus, not the subject.

Basic phrases for greeting and assisting costumers
Active and Passive voice

3. This presentation focuses on the
following:
1.Simplified meaning of ‘Voice’ in English Grammar
2.Types of Voice (with easy examples)
3. Reasons to use the Active Voice
4.When to use the Passive Voice
5.Conversion of Active Voice Declarative statements
into the Passive
6.Practice Exercise (With Answers),involving the
conversion of Active Voice statements into Passive

4. Defining “Voice”
Voice in English Grammar is the form a
transitive verb takes to indicate whether
the subject of the verb performs or receives
the action.
Examples: Minu waters the plants.
(The subject Minu performs an action).
The lolly is eaten by Vinu. (The subject
lolly receives the action).
5. There are Two Types
of Voice:
Active
Passive
Example:
Active : Shail blows the candles.
Passive: The candles are blown by
Shail.
Let us understand this better…
7. acTiVe Voice
These examples show that the
subject performs the action:
The nurse is giving the
medicine.
The nurse (subject) is
performing the action of
giving (verb) the medicine.
Krishna will read the report
to the class.
Krishna (subject) will carry
out the action of reading
(verb).
8. passiVe Voice
In a passive voice sentence, the
subject and object flip-flop or get
interchanged.
The subject becomes the passive
recipient of the action.
9. Passive voice
These examples show the
subject being acted upon by the
verb:
The medicine is being given by
the nurse.
The medicine (subject) is
being given (verb)
A book report will be given by
Krishna to the class.
A book report (subject) will be
given (verb).
10. Reasons to Use the
active voice
Most writers prefer to use active
voice because
it is more direct
concise and
propels the reader forward
through the writing avoiding
weak constructions.
11. Reasons to Use the
active voice
Compare
Active: The young waitress dropped
the tray of food. (concise statement of
fact, with the focus on the waitress)
Passive: The tray of food was dropped
by the young waitress. (lengthy; focus
on the tray of food, less direct)
12. It is better to say:
The Supervisor has granted your
request for a PE class. (Active)
The same conveyed in Passive appears
to be a weak and lengthy
construction.
Your request for a PE class has been
granted by the Supervisor. (Passive)
13. voice
In general, the passive voice is
less direct
less forceful and
less concise than the active
voice.
14. voice
When you do not know or do not want
to reveal the performer of an action.
Example: The kidnappers have been
caught.
When you want to emphasize the
receiver of an action.
Example: The brave youngster was
rewarded suitably.
15. While converting Active to Passive
Voice , the same tense is retained in
the past-participle form.
For example:
Active Voice-The children ate
(simple past tense) the cookies.
Passive Voice-The cookies were
eaten (past participle)by the
children.
16. Often passive voice sentences
will contain a "by" phrase
indicting who or what
performed the action.
Example: The football was
kicked by Rohan.
17. Look at the conversion here:
Active: My friend gave me a basket of
flowers.
Passive: I was given a basket of flowers
by my friend.
or
A basket of flowers was given
to me by my friend.
