What Are Active and Passive
Voice?
Can you write definitions for ‘active’ and ‘passive’ voice?
Active Voice
In an active sentence, the subject performs the action (the verb) to
the object.
Passive Voice
In a passive sentence, the thing that would normally be the object
gets turned into the subject through the use of the passive form of
the verb. They often include a prepositional phrase starting with ‘by’.
Do you and your partner agree?

Identifying Parts of the Sentence
To be able to recognise and use active and passive voice, you must be
able to identify the parts of the sentence. In the following sentences,
identify the subject, action (the verb) and object:
The plane is boarded by the family.
Did you notice the preposition ‘by’ in some of these sentences?
The damage was caused by the storm.
Issac threw a ball at the window.
The magician pulled a rabbit from the hat.
Helen practised her recorder every day.
The flowers were grown by my nan.
The plane is boarded by the
family.
The damage was caused by the storm.
Issac threw a ball at the window.
The magician pulled a rabbit from the
hat.
Helen practised her recorder every day.
The flowers were grown by my nan.

Active or Passive Voice?
Now, sort these sentences into the correct places in the table below:
The plane is boarded by the
family.
Active
Passive
The plane is boarded by the
family.
Helen practised her recorder every day.
The magician pulled a rabbit from the hat.
Issac threw a ball at the window.
The damage was caused by the storm.
The flowers were grown by my nan.
The magician pulled a rabbit from the
hat.
Issac threw a ball at the window.Helen practised her recorder every
day.
The damage was caused by the storm.The flowers were grown by my
nan.

Your Turn – Active Sentences
Choose a square to reveal a picture. Write an active sentence about
the picture:
? ? ? ?
? ? ? ?
? ?

Changing Sentences
It is possible to change a sentence from active to passive voice, or
from passive to active voice. It is important that you do not change the
tense of the sentence. Have a go at altering these sentences:
On the plain, the lioness chased an antelope.
On the plain, an antelope was chased by the
lioness.
Are your new sentences active or passive?
Harry ate sandwiches for lunch.
Sandwiches were eaten by Harry for lunch.
The carrots are always eaten by my
brother.
My brother always eats the carrots.

Tricky Passive Sentences
Read these passive sentences. What do you notice about them?
They all have an action and a subject but none of them have a
object. Sometimes the prepositional (by…) phrase can be removed
and the sentence will still make sense – you just won’t know
who/what performed the verb.
The present was opened.
The jewellery was stolen.
The bicycle was ridden.
The jewellery was stolen.
The bicycle was ridden.
The present was opened.
