identify the voice used in each sentence

1. Phil went to a movie with his friends - active voice

2. The peanut butter is being added

to the cake by the chef - passive voice

3. The blue dress had been put on

display by the store assistant - passive voice

4. Karl gave a touching speech at his

graduation ceremony - active voice

5. Jacob's party will be attended by

everyone in town - passive voice

6. Fred played with a monkey during

his first trip to a zoo - active voice

Explanation:

In English language, the voice of a sentence can either be passive or active.

A sentence is said to be ACTIVE if the subject is performing the action (verb). Hence, the sentence is referring to the subject doing the verb's action directly. For example;

1. Phil went to a movie with his friends

2. Karl gave a touching speech at his

graduation ceremony

3. Fred played with a monkey during

his first trip to a zoo

These are examples of sentences (1,2,3) in active voice because the subjects are performing the actions in the sentence.

On the contrary, a sentence is in the PASSIVE VOICE when the subject is acted upon by the verb in the sentence. In other words, the subject becomes the receiver of the veeb's action. For example;

4. The peanut butter is being added

to the cake by the chef

5. The blue dress had been put on

display by the store assistant

6. Jacob's party will be attended by

everyone in town

The above examples (4,5,6) are all in passive voices because the subjects in the sentences are acted upon by the verbs.

The above examples (4,5,6) are all in passive voices because the subjects in the sentences are acted upon by the verbs.

(1) Passive voice ;Two homes were broken into, but there are still no suspects.

(2) Active voice ;The radio disc jockey recommended the show.

(3) Passive voice ;The neighbor’s tulips were trampled last night by my new puppy.

(4) Active voice ;That song gives Amelia a headache every time she hears it.

Explanation:

Trust me, it's right

The correct answer is: 1. passive/2. active/3. passive/4. active

Explanation:

Passive voice is used to take away the focus of the subject onto the object. It's written using the verb to be and the past participle of the main verb of the sentence. Sometimes it can be followed by a 'by phrase' to indicate who the action-doer was.

The two homes were broken into...

Object: the two homes

Verb to be: were

Past participle: broken into

In this particular sentence the subject is obvious (burglars) so the by-phrase is not needed.

The neighbor's tulips were trampled last night by my new puppy.

Object: the neighbor's tulips

Verb to be: were

Past participle: trampled

Time: last night

Subject: my new puppy

In this other passive sentence though we know who performed the action, the importance is focused on the action: the tulips were ruined.

a. A cash receipt of $750 was recorded correctly in the accounts receivable controlling account but was posted to the customer's ledger as $75.

b. Some clerks destroyed duplicate copies of cash invoices and misappropriated the cash.

Explanation:

a. When the person (who not handled this account before) is crosschecking the balance on accounts in the Customers Ledger against the accounts receivable account in the general ledger, they will discover that $750 was recorded correctly in the Accounts Receivables Control Accounts in the General ledger but was recorded at only $75 in the Customers Ledger.

b. The sales clerks would have destroyed only duplicates whilst the originals were still there. Worse still for them is that these duplicates have been accounted for with the Originals. This way when they destroy the duplicates, the company can still confirm with the originals that that cash was indeed paid.
