SUBJECT: English language

CLASS: Primary 5 ( Grade 5 and 6)

TOPIC: ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICE

Introduction:
Understanding Active and Passive Voice helps pupils write better sentences and understand who is doing an action and who is receiving it.

What is Voice in Grammar?
Voice tells us whether the subject of a sentence is doing the action or receiving the action.

There are two types of voice:
Active Voice
Passive Voice

🟢 ACTIVE VOICE
Definition:
A sentence is in the active voice when the subject performs the action.

👉 In simple terms:
The doer of the action comes first.

STRUCTURE:
Subject + Verb + Object

Examples:
1. The boy kicked the ball.
2. Mary washed the plates.
3. The teacher explained the lesson.

Example Sentences:
1. The cat chased the rat.
2. My mother cooked the food.
3. The pupils answered the questions.
4. The farmer planted the maize.

Active voice sentences are clear, direct, and easy to understand.

🔵 PASSIVE VOICE
Definition:
A sentence is in the passive voice when the subject receives the action.

👉 In simple terms:
The action is more important than the doer.

STRUCTURE:
Object + auxiliary verb (is/was/were/are) + past participle + by + subject

(Sometimes the “doer” is not mentioned.)

Examples:
1. The ball was kicked by the boy.
2. The plates were washed by Mary.
3. The lesson was explained by the teacher.

Example Sentences:
1. The rat was chased by the cat.
2. The food was cooked by my mother.
3. The questions were answered by the pupils.
4. The maize was planted by the farmer.

Passive voice is often used when:
1. We don’t know who did the action.
2. The doer is not important.
3. We want to sound formal.
