The document discusses active and passive voice in sentences. It notes that active voice sentences have the subject before the verb, while passive voice sentences put the subject after the verb or omit it entirely, using a form of "to be" as the verb. It provides examples of active and passive sentences and discusses keeping the action verb in past participle form for passive voice. Students are assigned to create a fictional or real news report using passive voice and write about their holiday experiences using both active and passive voice.

a. What can you observe with the sentences? b. What makes them different if they still make the same meaning ?
01 Active & Passive Voice
Sentences in the active voice have the subject before the verb. Sentences in the passive voice put the subject after the verb, if it's there at all. In a passive voice sentence, the verb is always a form of to be. Sentences in the active voice use stronger verbs.
Active sentence Passive sentence I eat dinner. [Subject / Object] Dinner is eaten by me. [Object / Subject]
The Passive tense formula Remember: The action verb is in the past participle. This is standard for all use of the passive voice. The be verb can be modified to change tense.
For example: Dinner was eaten / has been eaten / had been eaten etc. However, the action verb must remain in the past participle form. It cannot be expressed in the present participle. Thus the rule for the passive voice is: Object + be + past participle ( + agent )
