VOICE
 In grammar, the voice (also called
diathesis) of a verb describes the
relationship between the action (or
state) that the verb expresses and the
participants identified by its
arguments.
ACTIVE VOICE
 In an active sentence, the subject is
doing the action.
 In active voice The pattern is
SUBJECT,VERB,OBJECT.
 EXAMPLE: the hunter shot the tiger.
 Rakesh eats cherries.
 In the above sentence {the
hunter/rakesh} are the subject.
PASSIVE VOICE
 In passive voice, the target of the action
gets promoted to the subject position.
 in passive voice the pattern is
OBJECT,VERB,SUBJECT.
 Instead of saying, “The hunter killed the
tiger” we can say “the tiger was killed by
the hunter”.
 And instead of saying “rakesh eats cherries”
we can say “the cherries are eaten by rakesh”.
TRANSITIVE AND INTRANSITIVE VERBS
TRANSITIVE VERB
 Transitive verbs
are action verbs
that have an object
to receive that
action.
 EXAMPLE: “I
baked some
cookies.”
 “I moved the
chair.”
INTRANSITIVE VERB
 Intransitive verbs
are action verbs
but unlike
transitive
verbs, they do not
have an object
receiving the
action.
 EXAMPLE: “They
laughed.”
 “The book fell.”
