Active or Passive?

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is focused on identifying active and passive voice in sentences. It provides a definition of active voice (where the subject performs the action) and passive voice (where the subject receives the action), and offers a list of sentences for students to classify. The task for students is to read each sentence and determine whether it is written in active or passive voice, writing their answer on the line provided.

The objective of this worksheet is to teach students the difference between active and passive voice, enhancing their ability to discern and use both forms correctly in their writing. By examining various sentences, students can practice recognizing the subject and verb placement that indicates the voice of the sentence. This skill is important for writing clarity and is often a focus in English language arts education. The ability to identify and use both voices effectively can contribute to more versatile and skilled writing.
