Introductory Message
For the learner:
Welcome to the English 7 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on The Use
of Active and Passive Voice in Varied Contexts!
The health worry of COVID-19 has greatly affected our land. Are you actively doing
your part during these extra-ordinary times? Start with little deeds to reach out others. If
you are inspired, satisfied and fulfilled in helping for the most in need, then you are a
“doer”. This is a Filipino culture known as community spirit or “Bayanihan”. But if you lack
the energy or will and just allow things to happen and accept what people do without doing
anything, then you are a “passive” person.
This module helps you develop a positive attitude of being a “doer or a performer”
which you learn in active voice, where the focus is on the person doing the act. While
that
which emphasizes the action or the result is in the passive voice, the action is
highlighted rather than the doer.
The exercises herein are made to motivate you embrace learning as a worthwhile
experience. It is hoped that the skills you learned will better prepare you to adjust to the
new normal world.
This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

What I Need to Know
Every writer or speaker has to pay attention to the idea or the topic that
needs emphasis. One of these is the use of active and passive voice where either
the person doing the action or the result of the action itself is emphasized. Having
enough background about active and passive voice will help one to be a better
user of the English language.
After going through this module, you are expected to use the active and passive
voice meaningfully in varied contexts (EN7G-111-c-2); specifically, you are
expected to:
1. identify sentences in active and passive voice;
2. determine context when to use active voice and passive voice; and,
3. construct sentences using active and passive voice.
This module enables learners to enjoy learning as you follow the varied
discussions, exercises and worksheets.

My Father Goes to Court by Carlos Bulosan
3
Summary
In the Island of Luzon, there lived a poor but happy family. The children were
always playing and bathing in a cold river. They had a very rich neighbor with two children
who were not allowed to play outside of their house.
The rich man’s servant usually cooked special foods. The children of the poor
family just smelled the yummy aroma of the food from their rich neighbor. They enjoyed
doing it everyday until they got strong and healthy while the rich man’s children got pale
and thin.
One day, the rich man filed a case against the father of the poor family for stealing
the spirits of his food and wealth. They all went to court. The father had no lawyer with him
while the rich man had. When the judge asked about the truth of the charge, the father
said “yes” to smelling the aroma of the rich man’s food but not to stealing his wealth.
The father, with a hat full of coins, asked permission from the judge to have the
tinkling of the coins heard by the rich man. The father asked if the rich man heard the spirit
of the money, which the latter said yes. The father then said that the charge was paid.
The judge smiled and pounded his gavel and said that the case was dismissed.
Comprehension Questions:
1. What was the rich man’s accusation against the father?
The rich man accused the father for____________________________.
2. How did the father pay the rich man’s accusation?
The father paid the rich man’s accusation with ____________________ .
3. What did the children do with the yummy aroma of the food from a rich
man’s house?
The yummy aroma of the food from a rich man’s house ______________
by the children.
4. What did the judge do with the case filed by the rich man?
The case __________________by the judge.

What is It
In the previous activity (What’s In), the answers to questions 1 and 2 are in
the active voice while the answers in questions 3 and 4 are in the passive
voice.
1. I like to watch videos.
2. Many people watch weather reports to know the weather of the day.
3. A documentary is usually watched by adults.
4. Internet-based programs are often watched by millennials.
All underlined words are the subjects of the sentence.
In the first two sentences, the subject is the doer of the action, while in the
3rd and 4th sentences the subject is the receiver of the action.
This is the same in your answer to the questions in “What’s New” activity.
1. The rich man (subject) accused (verb) the father (object) for stealing the
spirit of rich man’s wealth and food.
2. The father (subject) paid
(verb) the rich man’s accusation (object) with
sweet tinkle of the coins.
3. The yummy aroma (object) of the food from a rich man’s house was inhaled
(verb) by the children (subject).
4. The case (object) was dismissed (verb) by the judge (subject).
All underlined words are the subject of the sentence.
In the first two sentences, the subject is the doer of the action, while in the
3rd and 4th sentences the subject is the receiver of the action.
The next
pages show
a more detailed explanation to make you better
understand the concept.

Activity 1 Oh My G! (Grammar Consciousness & Awareness)
The voice of an action verb indicates whether the subject
performs or receives the action.
There are two types of voice: ACTIVE VOICE and PASSIVE VOICE
ACTIVE VOICE
When the subject does or “acts upon” the verb, the sentence is said to be in the active voice.
Formula: Subject + Verb+ Object
(doer of the action)
Study the following examples. These show that the subject is doing the verb’s actions.
1. The rich man’s servant (subject) usually cooked (verb) special food (object).
2. Carlos Bulosan (subject) revealed (verb) the reality about social
discrimination in the text (object).
3. The judge (subject) pounded (verb) the gavel (object).
4. My brothers (subject) threw (verb) a small change in a straw hat (object).
PASSIVE VOICE
When the subject receives the action of the verb, the sentence is said to be in the
passive voice.
Formula: Subject + Verb+ Object
(receiver of the action)
These examples show how the subject-verb relationship has changed.
1. Special food (subject) is usually cooked (verb) by the rich man’s servant (object).
(active verb-gives: passive verb-is given)
2. The reality about social discrimination in the text (subject)
was revealed (verb) by Carlos Bulosan (object).
(active verb-revealed: passive verb- was revealed)
3. The gavel (subject) was pounded (verb) by the judge (object).
(active verb- pounded: passive verb- was pounded)
4. A small change in a straw hat (subject) was thrown (verb) by my brothers (object).
(active verb-threw: passive verb-was thrown)
The object in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice; the
subject in the active voice becomes the object in the passive voice.

This is Good to Know!
Tips in Changing Active to Passive:
1. Identify tenses of verb and change it into
Verb Be+ Past Participle Tense
Active: The government gives relief goods.
Passive: Relief goods are given by the government.
Active: Many boys helped the wounded men.
Passive: Wounded men were helped by many boys.
Active: Someone will take my gadgets.
Passive: My gadgets will be taken by someone.
2. Move the direct object to
the beginning of the sentence
Active: Arthur will send a package.
Passive: A package will be sent by Arthur.
Active: Sheena will bring imported goods.
Passive: Imported goods will be brought by Sheena.
3. Add the preposition “by” before the
subject
Active: Heshbon will write a letter.
Passive: A letter will be written by Heshbon.
4. Add an auxiliary verb
“be” before the main verb

You are now ready to learn more!
1. When do we use the active voice?
a. Active voice is used when the doer is more important than the action.
This places the emphasis on the subject of the sentence and makes the
sentence more straightforward and brief.
For example:

I really love this dog.

Monkeys live in the jungle.

She threw the ball to John.

The dog ran back to the car.

I made a mistake.
b. Active voice is also used in making commands or requests.
For example:

Open the window.

Carry the books.

Do it alone.

Catch the ball.

Feed the dog.
c. Giving instructions can be done in the active voice.
For example:

Cut the spices in small pieces.

Interview the barangay officials for the correct data.

Measure accurately the size of the cloth.

Turn off the electricity.

Wear mask in public places.
11
2. When do we use the passive voice?
The passive voice is used in the following cases:
a. The actor is unknown.
Example: The motorcycle was stolen (maybe by someone).
b. The actor is irrelevant.
Example: A COVID-19 vaccine will be discovered by researchers soon.
c. You want to be indefinite about who is responsible.
Example: Mistakes were made.
d. You are talking about a general truth.
Example: Do unto others what you want others do unto you.
e. You want to emphasize the person or thing acted on.
Example: The virus that caused COVID-19 was discovered in 2020.
f. You are writing an experiment result/report.
Example: The salt was dissolved in water.
