I didn't go to class today because i'm having diarrhea. Or in simple words i'm having a stomachache. Maybe food poisoning is the reason. My friends said that they learn active and passive voice today. What to do ? I'm so weak to go to the class. About active and passive voice :
ACTIVE VOICE SENTENCES
- indicate that the subject of verb is acting
- Example :
The dog jump onto the boy
The dog( subject ) is doing the jumping (verb )
REASON TO USE ACTIVE VOICE SENTENCES
>Most writer prefer to use active voice because it is more direct.
>Less awkward and clearly states relationship between subject and action.
PASSIVE VOICE SENTENCES
- the subject and object flip-flop
- subject becomes the passive recipient of the action
- example
> The boy was jumped on by the dog
Boy (subject) was being jumped on (verb)
REASON TO USE PASSIVE VOICE SENTENCES
- Used when the agent ( doer of an action ) is obvious, unknown or unnecessary
> Her purse was stolen
- Used when the agent is known but the speaker/writer does not want to mention it
> A mistake has been made
- Used when the agent is very general such as people or somebody
> English is spoken here
- Used when the speaker wants to emphasize a result or receiver of the action instead of the performer.
* The professor was hit by three snowballs
- Three snowballs hit the professor.
