It is a communication competence-sociolinguistic.
The student should
pick up the pieces of papers under the
chair.)
They are absent.
Yes Sir.
You told us to bring at least two
plates and cotton buds as a class.
Yes Sir.

This is the instruction or
procedure:
1. Pour the milk into the plate.
2. Add three drops of each of the
colors of food coloring to the
milk.
3. Place a drop of dishwashing
liquid on the tip of the cotton
bud.

cotton bud in the middle of the
milk.
5. Hold the cotton bud for 10 to
15 seconds.
How do you find the activity?
How about to you Aisa?
Very good!
These are our objectives for
today ’s disc ussion; will y ou please
read it Glenda?
Who can now say what our topic
is for today?
Very good!
It was interesting and amazing.
I felt astonished.
At the end of the 30 minute
lesson, 7 5% of the students are
expected to:

II. Lesson Proper
1. Activity
Go to your group then, using the
manila paper and marker, you need
to write down the instruction given
a while ago but you need to
construct another form of sentences
adding pronoun as the subject or
the object of the preposition in the
past simple. Let us have a short
review of how to form past simple.
Who wants to share any idea about
past simple?
Is that clear?
This is an example.
1. He poured the milk into the plate.
HE functions as the subject or
the doer of the action POURED
and THE MILK as the object of the
verb.
By the way this is criteria for this
activity. We need to agree on certain
score who meet all the criteria.
 Sentences should be well-constructed
with strong and
varied structure which adheres
to accepted format, usage,
spelling, punctuation and
capitalization in the
developmental level.
To form past simple in a sentence,
you just need to use the past tense of
the verb. In another case, “be” as
helping verb is added on the past
participle of the verb.
Yes Sir.

You just have 3 minutes. Your
time starts now.
Any volunteer to read the work of
the group? Let us have the group 1
first.
Thank you!
Group 2 please?
Great job everyone!
Let us check the works of each
group.
(The teacher will announce the
winner.)
Using your examples, let us dig
deeper on how it relates to the topic
for today. Again, what is our topic?
Let us scrutinize the following
sentences?
1. He poured the milk into the plate.
2. A drop of dishwashing liquid was
placed by him on the tip of the
cotton bud.
What did you observed in the
sentences? How does the subject,
the verb and the object of the verb
functions in the sentences?
Very good!
How about the second sentence?
So if we will classify these
sentences if in active or passive
voice, the first sentence falls under
what voice?
Are you sure?
Possible answer of the students:
1. The milk was poured into the plate.
2. He added three drops of each of the
colors of food coloring to the milk. /
Three drops of each of the colors of
food coloring were added by him to the
milk.
3. He placed a drop of dishwashing
liquid on the tip of cotton bud. / A
drop of dishwashing liquid was placed
by him on the tip of the cotton bud.
4. He placed the soapy end of the
cotton bud in the middle of the middle
of the milk. / The soapy end of the
cotton bud was placed by him in the
middle of the milk.
5. He held the cotton bud for 10 to 15
seconds. / The cotton bud was held for
10 to 15 seconds.
(The volunteer will read their work.)
(The volunteer will read their work.)
Our topic for today is the voices of
the verb which are active and passive
voice.
In the first sentence, the subject he
is the doer, poured is the transitive
verb and the milk is the object of the
verb.
The subject in the second sentence is
now the object of action which is the A
drop of dishwashing liquid. Him
become the receiver of the action with
a by. And it is observable that the
sentence uses be-verb was with the
past participle of the verb which is
placed.
The first sentence is an active voice
sentence.
Yes Sir.

3. Abstraction
4. Application
Let’s see.
How about the second sentence?
Are you sure?
You are correct! The first
sentence is an active voice sentence
and the second sentence is a passive
voice sentence.
Base from the example given,
who would like to define an active
voice?
How about the passive voice?
So can you say that there is a
pattern or formula? Do you
recognize the attern?
Can you make your pattern in
active voice?
Very good!
How about for passive voice?
Great!
Do you already have a clear
image in mind of the pattern on
how to construct an active voice
sentence and a passive voice
sentence?
Leave a space before each
number. Determine whether the
sentence is in active voice or in
passive voice. Write A for active
voice sentence and P for passive
voice sentences. Then, rewrite the
following sentences to passive voice
if the sentence is in active voice and
active voice if the sentence is
passive voice, and add a subject if
necessary. Answer this in your
notebook.
1. The building has been left by
Elvis.
2. When I was prosecuted by Ned,
I felt very foolish.
3. A superb dinner was prepared
by the famous chef.
4. Ned will prosecute trespassers.
5. Thomas feeds his dog.
Yes Sir!
The second sentence is a passive
voice sentence.
Yes Sir!
In the active voice, the subject
performs the action expressed and
the focus is on the agent that does the
action.
In the passive voice the subject
receives the action expressed in the
verb. The object of the active sentence
becomes the subject of the passive
voice. You can recognize passive-voice
expressions because the verb phrase
will always include a form of be such as
am, is, was, were, are, or been.
The presence of a be-verb, however,
does not necessarily mean that the
sentence is in passive voice. Another
way to recognize passive-voice
sentences is that they may include a
"by the..." phrase after the verb; the
agent performing the action, if named,
is the object of the preposition in this
phrase.
Yes Sir!
Yes Sir!
Is the instruction clear?
You can now start.

III. Generalization
IV. Evaluation
Have you learned something?
Can you cite the general idea of
today ’s lesson?
Very good!
Again, what is our topic for this
morning?
Can you give the distinct patterns
on how to determine if a sentence is
in active voice or in passive voice?
Awesome!
From that note, kindly get ½
crosswise sheet of paper.
P 1. Elvis left the building.
P 2. When Ned prosecuted me, I felt
very foolish.
P 3. The famous chef prepared a
superb dinner.
A 4. Trespassers will be prosecuted by
Ned.
A 5. The dog is fed by Thomas.
Sir, there’s a lot of new thing we’d
gained from today ’s lesson.
Today, we had the voices of the
verb- active voice and passive voice. In
the active voice The subject performs
the action expressed and the focus is
on the agent that does the action. In
the passive voice the subject receives
the action expressed in the verb. The
object of the active sentence becomes
the subject of the passive sentence. We
use a passive verb to say what happens
to the subject. The focus of the
sentence is on the subject that receives
the action.
Our topic for this morning is the
voices of the verb- active voice and
passive voice.
In active voice, the subject comes
first plus the transitive verb to be
followed by the object. In passive
voice, the subject plus the be-verb
plus the past participle of the verb
plus the by-actor.
Leave a space before each number. Determine whether the sentence is in active voice or in passive voice. Write A for
active voice sentence and P for passive voice sentences. Then, rewrite the following sentences to passive voice if the
sentence is in active voice and active voice if the sentence is passive voice, and add a subject if necessary.
1. The dog was given a bath, and the cat was rescued from the tree.
2. The story of the albatross will be told many times by the ancient mariner.
3. The sentiments of the speaker were applauded.
4. It was proven by Atticus that the crime was not committed by the accused.

6. The dog was hit by the car.
