  • Draw a rectangle around the verb.

12
The shoe was being chewed by the dog.
  • Did you get it right? What is happening to the
    shoe?

13
The shoe was being chewed by the dog.
passive
  • This is a sentence.
    The subject-the shoe is not doing anything, it is
    passively having something done to it. It is
    being chewed!

14
Is this sentence active or passive?
  • Sarah was drawing a picture.

15
active

    actively drawing the picture.

passive

The window was broken by Kelly.
  • Well done! This sentence is passive. The subject
    of the sentence is the window. The window had
    something done to it Kelly broke it!

20
Subject and Action
  • Marty jumped over the fence.
  • Marty ate the apple.
  • Subject The object that the verb is primarily
    concerned with.
  • Action/Verb the thing that is being done.
  • Subject comes before the verb and object in an
    ACTIVE sentence.
  • Subject (S), Verb (V), Object (O)

21
Object
  • The apple had been eaten by Melman.
  • The fence was jumped over by Melman.
  • Object becomes the initiator and cause of an
    action/ the one doing the action.
  • As a general rule the object switches with the
    subject in PASSIVE sentences, so the object
    becomes the subject and the original subject
    becomes an agent which has the verb done to it.
  • Subject (S), Verb (V), Object (O).

22
Active Verb/Voice
  • In active voice sentences the subject does the
    action. e.g. Gloria walked across the tightrope.
  • The active voice is strong, uses fewer words and
    clearly shows who has performed the action.
  • The subject normally comes at the start.

23
Passive Verb/Voice
  • In passive voice sentences the action is done to
    the original subject by an object. e.g. The
    tightrope was walked across by Gloria.
  • The passive voice is weaker and less direct. It
    is not incorrect to use it though.
  • It usually uses more words.
  • The original subject usually moves to after the
    verb and becomes the object/agent receiving the
    action.
  • The original object moves to before the verb and
    becomes the subject.
  • The verb has a word like was or were added to
    it and the word by to show who did the action.

24
Alex chased after Marty.
25
The penguins saved the Madagascar animals.
26
King Julian was entertained by Mort.
27
The key was found by Melman.
28
The fence was broken by Marty.
29
Mort entertained King Julian.
30
The trapeze was swung from by Alex.
31
LO to understand and identify the differences
between the active and passive voice/verb.
  • Success Criteria
  • I understand what makes a sentence active.
  • I understand what makes a sentence passive.
  • I can identify whether a sentence is active or
    passive.
  • I can turn an active sentence into a passive
    sentence
  • I can turn a passive sentence into an active
    sentence.
  • I have used a ruler when I have drawn straight
    lines.
  • I have written my work neatly.

32
Remember!
  • The subject comes before the verb in active
    sentences. The subject does the action.
  • The action is done by an object in passive
    sentences. The action is done to the agent.
  • The words was, were and by are usually in a
    passive sentence.
  • Active sentences are usually shorter.

  • What Are Participles?
  • A participle is a word formed from a verb which
    can be used as an adjective.The two types of
    participles are the present participle (ending ing
    ) and the past participle (usually
    ending -ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n).Here are some
    participles being used as adjectivesParticiple
    Phrases
  • It is really common to see participles
    in participle phrases. A participle phrase also
    acts like an adjective. In the examples below,
    the participle phrases are shaded and the
    participles are in bold
  • The man carrying the bricks is my father.(The
    participle phrase carrying the bricks describes
    the the man.)
  • She showed us a plate of scones crammed with
    cream.(The participle phrase crammed with
    cream describes the scones.)
  • Whistling the same tune as always, Ted touched
    the front of his cap with his forefinger as she
    dismounted.(The participle phrase Whistling the
    same tune as always describes Ted.)
