What I Need to Know
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master the nature of active
and passive voices. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations.
The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to
follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.

Introduction
When writing or speaking, your sentences will form what is either called passive voice or active voice.
You may find yourself asking what active voice or passive voice is and more importantly, how can you
use it.
Many people are confused by whether they are using the active or passive voice when writing or speaking,
and in which scenario each is preferred. Who is doing the action or who is receiving. Thankfully, there
is a simple way of identifying the two styles. In this module, we are going to explore the world of active
and passive voices. Confusions may arise sometimes; however, the key to understanding the difference
between them is to spot the subject and the object in each sentence, and then selectively order the way
you introduce them. No worries, we are going to do it step by step in order for us to understand fully
how to use these voices in the sentence.
The module is about:

Lesson 3 – Active and Passive Voices
After going through this module, you are expected to:

3.
4.
Utilize the passive and active voices in the correct manner;
Identify active and passive voices in different types of writing;
Construct sentences using active and passive voices; and
Use the passive and active voices in varied manners.
Most Essential Learning Competency (ELCs)
EN7G-III-c-2: Use the passive and active voices meaningfully in varied contexts.

What I Know

Task 1 : Pre test
: True or False
On a half-sheet of paper, write T if the statement is true according to what you know
and F if it is false.
1. Active Voice: The subject of the sentence is the one doing the action denoted by
the verb.
2. Passive Voice: The subject receives the action expressed by the verb.
3. In the active voice, the subject performs the action expressed by the verb.
4. An active voice is used when you need to highlight the object or person who is
affected by or receives the action.
5.
In the active voice, the meaning is clearer and direct.

Task 2 : Looking at E-news Headlines.
E-newspaper is one of the familiar forms of media nowadays. There are hundreds of news headlines
everyday you see and hear over the radio, television, and internet. NEWS serves as our outlet to know
what happen to the world or country that we live in. It keeps us updated with the help of 24 Oras, TV
Patrol, DZRH, CNN Philippines, Bombo Radyo, Brigada News FM, Rappler, Manila Bulletin, and the
like.
Here are some sample headlines from actual e-newspapers.

Did you identify correctly the subject of the sentence and the main verb? What have you observed with
each of the sentences? Well done! Now you are ready to take off to another task to explore deeper the
two kinds of voices.

Notes to the Teacher
The purpose of this review is for the student to easily identify the voice of a verb that tells
whether the subject of the sentence performs or receives the actions.
Most of every sentence has a “voice”. This term refers to how a subject, object, and verb interact
within a sentence. Their order will determine if a sentence is in active or passive voice. The
tone and focus of your writing can change completely depending on which construction you
use.
What’s New

Task 3 : Spot the difference/Fill me in.
Please refer to the two (2) images below, kindly analyze the cartoon scenario. What do you think it is
all about? Can you spot the difference of each scenario?
Picture 1
Picture 2
Let’s have a game. In your activity notebook, jot down the two scenarios above by constructing two
different kinds of sentences by replacing the picture by the name of the animal. It is so simple, isn’t it?
Are you ready? Let’s begin!

What is It
So, what does voice mean? What is the
difference between active voice and
passive voice? Can you give associated
ideas of it?
In writing or speaking activity, you may hear terms used such as active and passive voice. You may
find yourself asking what active/passive voice is. Why is it so vital and more importantly, how can you
use it? Why is it so important to know both?
Active and passive voice
voice
active
What subject
does
passive
The focus is on the
action.
Active
: Maria boiled the egg.
Passive
: The egg was boiled by Maria.
The voice of a verb tells whether the subject of the sentence performs or receives the action. Voices are of
two types: active and passive.
Active Voice: In the active voice, the subject performs the action expressed by the verb.
Example 1 - Gizelle sings a song.
Here ‘Gizelle” is the subject and the verb is ‘sing’ and ‘song’ is the object. Here the action of
‘singing’ is being done by the subject i.e. ‘Gizelle’.
Example 2 - James finished the homework.
In this scenario, “James” is the subject and the verb is ‘finish’ and ‘homework’ is the object. Here the
action of ‘finishing’ is being done by the subject i.e. ‘James’.
Example 3 - The puppy chewed the shoe.
This time, “puppy” is the subject and the verb is ‘chew’ and ‘shoe’ is the object. Here the action of
‘chewing’ is being done by the subject i.e. ‘puppy’.
9
Passive Voice: In passive voice, the subject receives the action expressed by the verb.
Example 1 - A song is sung by Gizelle.
Here the ‘song’ is the subject, ‘sing’ is the verb and ‘Gizelle’ is the entity who did the action of singing
and ‘song’ is the entity on whom action has been done.
Example 2 - The homework was finished by James.
In this example, ‘homework’ is the subject and ‘finish’ is the verb. ‘James’ is the one who did the action
of finishing and ‘homework’ is the entity on whom action has been done.
Example 3 - The shoe was chewed by the puppy.
Here ‘puppy’ is the subject and ‘chew’ is the verb. The ‘puppy’ is the one who did the action of chewing
and ‘shoe’ is the entity on whom action has been done.
Below is a diagram for a better understanding of the difference of active and passive voice.
Active: Renzo

Passive: A flower
Subject

of the verb
a flower.
object
1st form

3rd form of the verb

Renzo.
object
(Subject becomes object and object becomes subject)
General rules of converting active voice to passive voice:
1. The subject in the active voice becomes the object in the passive voice and the object in
the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.
2. Put ‘by’ in front of the subject in the passive voice.
3. Use 3rd form of verb + is/ am/ are/ was/ were/ been/ being according to the tense in
passive voice.
10
To change a sentence from active to passive voice, do the following:
1. Move the active direct object into the subject slot.
ACTIVE VOICE
PASSIVE VOICE
Hernan cooked the rice.
The rice...
direct object
subject
2. Place the active subject into a phrase beginning with the preposition by.
ACTIVE VOICE
PASSIVE VOICE
Hernan cooked the rice.
The rice... by Hernan.
subject
prepositional phrase
3. Add a form of the auxiliary verb be to the main verb and change the main verb’s form.
ACTIVE VOICE
PASSIVE VOICE
Hernan cooked the rice.
The rice was cooked by Hernan.
verb
verb + be auxiliary.
General rules of converting from passive voice to active voice
1. The subject of passive voice becomes object in active voice and the object in passive
voice becomes the subject in active voice.
2. Remove the preposition ‘by’.
3. Use 1st form of the verb.
To change a passive voice sentence into an active voice sentence, simply reverse the steps shown
above.
1. Move the passive subject into the active direct object slot.
PASSIVE VOICE
ACTIVE VOICE
… (cooked) the rice.
The rice was cooked by Hernan.
subject
direct object
11
2. Remove the auxiliary verb be from the main verb and change main verb’s form if
needed.
PASSIVE VOICE
ACTIVE VOICE
The rice was cooked by …
… (cooked) the rice.
be auxiliary
3. Place the passive sentence’s object of the preposition by into the subject slot.
PASSIVE VOICE
ACTIVE VOICE
… by Hernan
Hernan cooked ...
object of preposition by
direct object
Not all sentences can be changed to the passive voice. Only an active voice of the sentence with a
direct object can be made 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.
