I. Introduction to Active and Passive Voice:
Imagine you're a detective solving mysteries in Grammar Town! In our town, sentences have two secret agents: Active Voice and Passive Voice. Active Voice is like a superhero, always taking action, while Passive Voice is more mysterious, with actions happening to someone or something. Let's uncover their secrets!
II. Active Voice: The Hero of the Sentence:
Active Voice is the brave hero who performs the action in a sentence. In Active Voice, the subject does the action, just like a superhero saving the day!
Example:
- "The cat chased the mouse."
- In this sentence, "the cat" is the subject, and it performs the action of "chasing."
III. Passive Voice: The Mystery Unraveled:
Passive Voice is like a hidden shadow, where the action happens to the subject. It's a bit mysterious, but don't worry, we'll shed some light on it!
Example:
- "The mouse was chased by the cat."
- In this sentence, "the mouse" is the subject, but it's not doing the chasing; instead, the action happens to it.
