D. Discussion
The teacher introduces the topic to the learners by using the powerpoint
presentation as a guide for the lesson proper.
VOICE
 Voice is the quality of a verb
 Shows whether the subject is the “doer” or “receiver” of the action
2 Types of Voices:
 Active Voice
 Passive Voice
Let’s define the following voices of verbs;
 ACTIVE VOICE
Active voice is used to indicate that the subject of the sentence is the
doer of the action.
Example:
S V O
The boy kicked the ball.
Other examples:
1. A student wrote the winning essay.
2. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.
3. The chef prepared a delicious meal.
 PASSIVE VOICE
Passive voice is created when the subject is acted upon.
This time, the subject is going to be the ball because it will be the
recipient of the action.
Example:
The ball was kicked by the boy.
Other examples:
The winning essay was written by a student.
The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell
A delicious meal was prepared by the chef.
Let’s identify the voice of the verb in each sentence:
1. Raul presented an interesting report. active
2. Baseball was played by Joseph. passive
3. Martin removed the old paint. active
4. The national budget was approved by the congress. passive
5. She cooked our breakfast meal. active

3. E. Generalization
 When can you say that a sentence is in the active or in the passive voice?
 How will you change the sentence from active to passive voice?
A verb that has a direct object is in the active voice. If the subject is acted
upon, the verb is in the passive voice. In changing a sentence from active
to passive, the direct object becomes the subject or doer in the by- phrase.
F. Application
Group Activity: The learners are divided into four groups via count-off. The
teacher hands out the activity sheets for the students to be guided in the activity.
Direction: Change the sentences below into the passive voice. Write you answers
on the manila paper provided by the teacher. After presenting the sentences, shout
out your group yell altogether.
