can tell me what he/she notices with the
following sentences?”
“Very well observation! Now, let me
introduce you the Active and Passive
Voice. Would someone read the
meaning of Active voice?”
(Student will volunteer to read the first
sentence: “A verb is said to be in active
voice when its subject acts or when the
emphasis is on the doer or the subject.”
“Thank you, let’s take a look at the
sentence number 2. This one is an
active voice. Could any one of you can
tell me the reason why it’s classified as
active voice?”
(Student answers: Ma’am, because its
subject which is Ben shows acts and he
is the doer who acts.”
“Very well said, Now can somebody
give me an example of an active voice?”
(Students answer)
“Nice answers! Now let’s talk about the
other voice. Would someone read the
definition written on the board?”
(Student will volunteer to read the first
sentence: “A verb is in passive voice
when the subject is being acted upon or
when the emphasis is on the object or
the work done.”

example as well?”

understand?”
