Active And Passive Voice Exercises, Look at these sentences:, Examples:, The hunter killed the tiger., The tiger was killed by the hunter., Meaning is the same in both the sentences but in the first sentence, the subject is the doer, he is doing something, hence the subject is active and the verb is in the Active Voice. We use active voice to say what the subject does., Examples:, I read the book., Tulsidas wrote the Ramayana., Verb in the Active Voice always takes an object after it., Passive: A verb in the passive takes the object or person affected by the action as its subject. Passive verbs are formed by placing a form of the helping verb ‘be’ in front of the past participle. When we use the passive, who or what causes the action is often ignored or considered unimportant. When we want to say who caused the action we use ‘by’, as is given in the third sentence of the passive.
