Active and pasive voice

We use passive voice when:

• The interest falls on the person or thing object of an action

• Interest falls on the action taken

• We want to write an informal text

• We want to express a high probability about an action

Whenever we use passive voice, should we mention the person who performs the action?

• True

• False

In the passive voice, the main verb is used in:

• Present perfect

• Past participle

• simple past

• continuous past

An example of an active voice is:

• Mistakes have been made.

• I want to eat an ice cream tomorrow

• The boys play basketball.

The correct structure of the active voice is:

• Verb or action+ Subject is to say who performs the action+ object that receives the action.

• Subject is to say who performs the action + verb or action + object that receives the action.

• Subject is to say who performs the action+ object that receives the action+ verb or action

In the active voice priority is given to:

• The action

• The agent performing an action

• The probability of occurrence of an event

• The time in which the action is performed
