Active & Passive Voice Worksheets - Your Home Teacher - Free Printable

Problem Overview:

The task is to identify whether each sentence is written in active voice or passive voice. Here are the definitions provided:

- Active Voice: The subject performs the action (e.g., "Sam is writing a letter.")
- Passive Voice: The action is performed on the subject, and the focus is on the object rather than the subject (e.g., "The letter is being written by Sam.")

Solution Approach:

1. Analyze each sentence to determine who is performing the action (the subject) and what is receiving the action (the object).
2. If the subject is performing the action, the sentence is in active voice.
3. If the subject is receiving the action or the focus is on the object, the sentence is in passive voice.
