“Can someone give a review on what we did last Last meeting we had a performance task which is

‘Show Me How’.
“Good!” What was the relevance of the activity to our “We used logical connectors for us to be able to

achieve coherence in presenting our process,
Ma’am.”
“Very good! We now move on to our next topic.
5. Motivation
“Okay. I want you to observe these graphics.”
“What do you see in the first graphic?”
(Writes the sentence on the board.)
Student 1: Ma’am, Stephen Curry dribbled the
ball.

Curry.
“Where is the original subject located now?

“Correct! So, the popcorn is eaten by whom?
(Student 7 underlines the subject ‘cat’ and the
verb ‘eats’)
Student 8: The popcorn is eaten by the cat,
Ma’am!
“Good! What then, did you notice on the sentences written The form of the sentences changed Ma’am.
on the board?
“Correct!”
B. Presentation of New Lesson
Moving on, our lesson for today is all about active and
passive voice.
Before we begin, I want you to read the following (Students will read the objectives.)
objectives:
a) define active and passive voice;
b) distinguish between active and passive voice;
and,
c) use passive and active voice meaningfully in
varied contexts. EN7G-III-d-2:
“So, this would be the expected outcome after the lesson.
Any questions?”
“None, Ma’am.”
C. Development of the New Lesson
In English grammar, verbs have five properties: voice,
mood, tense, person, and number; here, we are concerned
with voice.
What do we mean when we say ‘voice’?
Voice is the form of a verb which shows whether
the subject does something or has something done
to it.
Very good! Voice refers to the form of a verb that
indicates when a grammatical subject performs the action
or is the receiver of the action.
There are two grammatical voices in English. What are Student 9: Active and Passive Voice, Ma’am!
these again?
Correct! For today we will now be having active and
passive voice.
1. ACTIVE VOICE
“Basing from the graphics and distinguishing of active
and passive voice among the sentences written on the
board, what is the meaning of active voice?”
Very good! So active voice is when the subject does or
“acts upon” the verb. Moreover, the object receives the
action. Sentences in active voice have a strong, direct, and
clear tone.
Furthermore, this would be the pattern if we will make an
active voice.
[doer of action] + [verb] + [receiver of action]
Student 10: When a sentence is written in the
active voice, the subject performs the action.
Example:
The award-winning chef prepares each meal with (Students will read the example)
loving care.
“In the example given, what is the simple subject?
“Correct! How about the verb?”
“What then is the object or the receiver of the action?”
Student 11: Chef, Ma’am!
Student 12: Prepares, Ma’am!
Student 13: Each meal, Ma’am!
“Very good! So, we already followed the pattern of
active voice.”
More examples:
• The old father gives the money to the boy.
• Maria tested Dan if he was worthy.
“Can someone give other examples? You come and (Students will give examples.)
construct a sentence that has a subject, verb, and object.”
“In academic writing, it is generally preferred to choose
an active verb and pair it with a subject that names the
person or thing doing or performing the action. Active
verbs are stronger and usually more emphatic than forms
of the verb “be” or verbs in the passive voice.”
None, Ma’am!
“Any questions?”
Student 14: When the subject receives the action
2. PASSIVE VOICE
We go to the next one which is the passive voice. What of the verb.
is a passive voice? Anyone?
Very good! In passive voice, the subject is acted on by
the verb. The passive voice is always constructed with a
conjugated form of to be plus the verb’s past participle.
This is the pattern:
[receiver of action] + [be] + [past participle of verb] +
[by] + [doer of the action]
To further understand, let’s have this examples.
 The cart is driven by Kent.
 The grass is eaten by the carabao.
 The guest are received by the folks.
Student 15: The cart.
In the first example, what is the receiver of the action?
Good. How about the ‘be’ verb and past participle of
verb?
Correct! How about the doer of the action?
(Same process will be done with the succeeding
process.)
Very good! Although active voice is generally preferred
in academic writing, passive voice is acceptable under
certain conditions.
Student 16: Is driven, Ma’am!
Student 17: by Kent, Ma’am.
Use passive voice:
 to emphasize the receiver of the action instead
of the doer.
 when we do not wish to mention the doer of the
action.
Any questions before we proceed to your activity?
D. Exercises/Drills
a. Video viewing
Watch the cartoon clips. Then change the sentences
from active voice into passive voice.
b. Distinguishing between Active and Passive Voice
Underline the verb in each sentence and then label it
as either Active or Passive.
1. The victims of the typhoon was visited by
President Duterte.
2. A group of parents donated books during the
Book campaign.
3. The rubrics in comic strip making is being
explained by the teacher.
4. DOST scholars volunteered to mentor some
students in public school.
5. At this critical time, the Filipinos were reminded
by Pope Francis to be prayerful.
6. The clean-up drive to fight against dengue was
organized by the Department of Health.
7. The food chain manager instructed the service
crew.
8. A Feeding Program in remote public schools were
initiated by volunteer students.
9. The rich man accused the poor family of stealing
the spirit of his family’s food.
10. The launching of the new product is going to be
witnessed by our guests.
E. Generalization
Yes, Ma’am!
Did you learn a lot from our lesson and activity?
So can anyone summarize then the discussion?
“Very good! From the summary given, who can give me the
importance of our lesson?”
We learned about active voice and passive voice.
Active voice is our normal voice. This is the voice
that we use most of the time and the object
receives the action of the verb while in passive
voice, the subjects receives the action of the verb.
Moreover, active sentences are about what people
(or things) do, while passive sentences are about
what happens to people (or things).
Active voice and passive voice are useful because
it gives you an idea on when or where will you
use this forms. Active is useful when we write
academic papers because it is a straightforward
one. On the other hand, passive voice is also
important because you can use this when you
want to hide the doer of the action.
IV.
Evaluation
Make a comic strip using 5 active and 5 passive voice.
