Poll

Which of those do you struggle with the most?

• active vs passive voice

• verbals

• analogies

• sentence corrections

Let's start with active vs passive voice:

• Active voice means that a sentence has a subject that acts upon its verb

• Passive voice means that a subject is a recipient of a verb's action. (tip: passive voice usually has the word "by" in it)

This video shows a trick at the end called "by zombies" to see if the sentence is passive. BUT, it still has the word "by" in it as a clue!
