Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a practice activity for identifying whether sentences are written in active or passive voice. Students are presented with a list of sentences and must determine the voice used in each one by writing “active” or “passive” in the provided space. The sentences are varied and designed to test the students’ understanding of the grammatical structure that differentiates active voice (where the subject performs the action) from passive voice (where the subject is acted upon).

The worksheet is intended to teach students the difference between active and passive voice, an important concept in English grammar. It helps students to recognize the subject and the action in a sentence and to identify which is the focus of the sentence. This skill is crucial for writing clearly and effectively, as the choice between active and passive voice can change the clarity, impact, and tone of a sentence. Mastery of this concept also aids students in making deliberate stylistic choices in their writing.
