Switching Voice

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students practice identifying and converting sentences between active and passive voice. Each sentence provided must be labeled as either active or passive, and then the student must rewrite it in the opposite voice. The sentences cover a range of subjects and structures to challenge students’ understanding of how the grammatical subject and object of a sentence are expressed differently in active and passive constructions.

The worksheet’s educational objective is to reinforce students’ understanding of active and passive voice, improving their ability to identify and use both. It teaches them to recognize the subject’s role in a sentence and how it changes between the two voices. This skill is important for effective writing, as it enables students to vary sentence structure and choose the voice that best suits their intended emphasis and clarity in their writing. It also helps in editing and revising their own work to make it more engaging and dynamic.
