50+ Active and Passive Voice worksheets for 6th Grade on Quizizz ... - Free Printable

Let’s go through each question one by one. We’ll break down what’s being asked and find the right answer together.

---

Question 1:
> Identify the SUBJECT and the MAIN VERB from the following sentence:
> *The goalie slapped the puck away from the net.*

- The subject is who or what the sentence is about — here, it’s “the goalie” (they’re doing the action).
- The main verb is the main action — here, it’s “slapped”.

So we’re looking for: goalie, slapped

✔ Correct choice: D

---

Question 2:
> Is the following sentence written in ACTIVE or PASSIVE voice?
> *The goalie slapped the puck away from the net.*

- In active voice, the subject does the action → “The goalie slapped...” → YES, that’s active!
- Passive would be like “The puck was slapped by the goalie.”

✔ Correct choice: B (active)

Question 3:
> Identify the SUBJECT and the MAIN VERB from the following sentence:
> *The puck was slapped away from the net by the goalie.*

- Now the sentence starts with “The puck” — that’s the subject now (even though it’s receiving the action).
- The main verb phrase is “was slapped” — but since they ask for the MAIN VERB, we usually pick the core action word: “slapped”. (Note: “was” is a helper verb.)

Looking at the options:
- A: puck, away → “away” isn’t a verb ✘
- B: net, slapped → “net” isn’t the subject ✘
- C: goalie, slapped → “goalie” is not the subject here — it’s after “by” ✘
- D: puck, slapped → YES! Subject = puck, Main Verb = slapped ✔

✔ Correct choice: D

*(Note: Some might argue “was slapped” is the full verb, but in multiple-choice questions like this, they often want the main action word — “slapped” — especially when paired with the correct subject.)*

---

Question 4:
> Is the following sentence written in ACTIVE or PASSIVE voice?
> *The puck was slapped away from the net by the goalie.*

- This time, the subject (“the puck”) is NOT doing the action — it’s having the action done to it.
- That’s the definition of passive voice.

✔ Correct choice: B (passive)

---

Question 5:
> Identify the SUBJECT and the MAIN VERB from the following sentence:
> *The ingredients are listed on the label.*

- Subject: Who or what is the sentence about? → “The ingredients”
- Main verb: What’s happening to them? → “are listed” — again, “listed” is the main action; “are” is helping.

Look at the choices:
- A: label, ingredients → wrong order, and “label” isn’t subject ✘
- B: ingredients, label → “label” isn’t a verb ✘
- C: ingredients, are listed → YES! Subject + full verb phrase ✔
- D: label, are listed → “label” isn’t subject ✘

✔ Correct choice: C

*(Even though “are listed” is two words, it’s treated as the verb phrase here — and option C matches exactly.)*
