In this ESL grammar lesson, students practice changing sentences in the active voice to the passive voice, and sentences in the passive voice to active voice.
Mastering the use of active and passive voice is essential for clear and effective communication in English. Knowing when and how to use each voice can significantly enhance your writing and speaking skills. Let’s review the key differences between active voice and passive voice, along with examples and guidelines on their appropriate usage.
The English grammar lesson below gives students a chance to practice switching between the active voice and the passive voice. Our series of ESL grammar lessons on subjects and verbs introduce these concepts and reinforce them through helpful and instructive exercises.
