Passive to Active

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students practice identifying and converting sentences between active and passive voice. Students must read each sentence provided, determine whether it is in active or passive voice, and then write their answer on the line. Furthermore, for those sentences that are in passive voice, students are instructed to rewrite them in active voice, thus applying their understanding of the grammatical differences between the two voices.

The worksheet teaches students to recognize the structure of sentences in passive voice and to transform them into active voice. This exercise enhances their understanding of how the subject and object of a sentence change places depending on the voice used. It is important for students to learn this skill because active voice is generally preferred in writing for its clarity and dynamism. The ability to switch between voices also allows students greater flexibility and precision in their expression.
