VI. CONCEPT NOTES

a. Definition of Voice of Verb, Active and Passive Voice
Voices of the verb focuses on the function of the subject being either
the doer/performer or the receiver of the action. They are classified as to: (a)
active and (b) passive.
Active Voice: In the active voice, the subject is the doer of the action.
Passive Voice: In the passive voice, the subject is the receiver of the
action. The verb is formed by adding the past participle of the verb to the
appropriate form of to be. The be verb carries the tense of the main verb.
ONLINE DISCUSSION: Students’ writing, remembering, and analytical skills

are important in this lesson. Thus, during the online class, it is important to
guide students in recognizing and analyzing the examples of active and
passive voice together with the rules in transforming active voice to passive
voice and vice-versa.
Active Voice and Passive Voice

Examples:
Active : The teachers prepared the materials for their classes.
subject predicate
doer of the action receiver of the action
Passive : The materials were prepared by the teachers for their classes.
subject predicate
receiver of the action doer of the action
1
General rules of converting active voice to passive voice:
The active voice focuses on the person who does the action that means the
subject performs the action.
1. In active voice, the doer of the action or subject becomes the receiver which is
now part of the predicate in the passive voice.
2. Use is/ am/ are/ was/ were/ been/ being + past participle according to the
tense.
3. Put ‘by’ before the direct object in the passive voice.
To change a sentence from active to passive voice, do the following:

1. Place the receiver of the
action, rice, as a subject.
2. Place the doer of the

action, Hernan, as the predicate
of the sentence in passive voice and
use the preposition “by”.
3. The passive verb is formed

with “be verb” (auxiliary) plus the
main verb.
General rules of converting from passive voice to active voice

The passive voice focuses on the receiver or the result of the action; thus, the
subject receives the action.
1. In active voice, the receiver in the passive voice becomes the doer of the action
or part of the subject.
2. Remove the preposition ‘by’.
To change a passive voice sentence into an active voice sentence, simply reverse
the steps shown above.
1. The subject (rice) in passive
voice becomes the object in
active voice.
2. Change the auxiliary verb
be and replace it with the main
verb to emphasize the doer of
2
the action.
3. Place the receiver of the
sentence into the doer slot
RADIO-BASED INSTRUCTION: Additional examples of active voice to passive

voice sentences will be discussed during the radio airing to guide students'
mastery of the lesson and their application of the skill into real life scenarios.
Remember! Not all sentences can be changed to the passive voice. Only an
active voice of the sentence with a direct object can be changed passive.
For example: “Tarsiers live in the rainforests.” cannot be changed to passive
voice because the sentence does not have a direct object.
Another example is, ‘She is dancing.” cannot be changed as well to passive
voice because the sentence does not have a clear known object.
Finally, “He died in 2005.” has no known object thus, cannot be converted
into passive voice.
