What Is Active & Passive Voice?
- Active Voice: The subject performs the action.
E.g., The cadet cleaned the rifle. - Passive Voice: The subject receives the action.
E.g., The rifle was cleaned by the cadet.
Transforming between the two requires attention to:
- Subject-object reversal
- Tense consistency with correct ‘be’ verb usage
- Use of past participle form of main verbs
- Correct insertion of prepositions (e.g., “by”)
Common Mistakes Observed During Practice
| Common Error | Correction Taught in Class |
|---|---|
| Using incorrect auxiliary verb | Match auxiliary verb to tense and subject |
| Not converting main verb to past participle | Emphasized consistent use of V3 in passive |
| Confusing object and subject | Strategy: underline subject, verb, object before converting |
| Misplacing “by” + agent | Taught logical placement & optional omission where needed |
Learning Outcomes from the Class
- Improved recognition of active/passive structure in exam MCQs
- Better handling of tense consistency while transforming voice
- Sharpened understanding of modals + voice combination
- Reinforced habit of breaking the sentence into SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) components before answering

Pro Tips Shared in the Session
- Always check the tense first — it determines the form of the verb “to be”
- Mark subject, verb, and object before transforming
- Use “by + agent” only when necessary — avoid awkward or unnecessary usage
- Maintain voice consistency throughout long compound sentences
- Practice passive forms of modals: can → can be + V3, must → must be + V3, etc.
