Did you
know

In Activity 1(g), you may have noticed that English sentences can be written
in two ways. You can either start a sentence by stating who did a particular
action. When this is the case, we refer to the active voice. In the given pairs of
sentences, all sentences in (a) are written in the active voice. Alternatively, you

can write a sentence by focusing on who or what experienced the action. In that
case, we refer to the passive voice. In the examples provided, the sentences in
(b) are in the passive voice.
