Passive and Active Voice
Most of my students are not familiar with the terms “passive voice” and “active voice”. This exercise demonstrates the difference, and teaches students that writing in the active voice will give their ideas more power.
Passive and Active Voice
This worksheet (complete with an answer key) explains the difference between Passive and Active Voice before tasking students with two activities where they identify and use these voices in sentences.
Active voice is vital for strong, effective writing, yet it seems few students even understand the difference between Passive and Active Voice. This printable worksheet (with its corresponding answer key) begins by clearly explaining and discussing Passive and Active Voice before offering students two exercises, one covering identifying voice and the other requiring transforming voice in sentences from passive to active without altering meaning.
