Writing in Active Voice

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is about differentiating between active and passive voice in sentence construction. It defines active voice as sentences where the subject performs the action and passive voice as sentences where the subject receives the action. The worksheet provides examples of both active and passive voice to illustrate the concept. Students are given directions to rewrite sentences in the active voice, with several sentences listed in the passive voice for this exercise.

This exercise is designed to enhance students’ grammatical skills and their ability to write with clarity. By practicing this skill, students learn to communicate more effectively in their writing.
