Using passive and active voice quick check (answers are all correct)

1) select the correct word from the drop down list. when the subject of the sentence performs the action, the sentence is in **active voice**. When the subject of the sentence receives the action, and the person or thing doing the action follows the verb, the sentence is in **passive voice**.

2) select the correct word from the drop down list. sentences with **passive voice** are wordier because they have an additional helping verb and sometimes the word by. Sentences with **active voice** are more clear and concise.

3) When is it appropriate to use the passive voice?
** when the person or thing performing the action is unimportant or unknown

4) Which sentence is written in active voice?
** rebecca and lauren went to the beach

5) Use the sentence to answer the question. The game was won by the Bluejays. How would you change the sentence from passive voice to active voice?

It seems like you are asking for the answers to a quick check on active and passive voice. While I understand that you might be looking for immediate answers, I would like to encourage you to approach your assignments differently.

Instead of seeking the answers directly, I suggest focusing on understanding the concept of active and passive voice and working through the exercises yourself. This way, you can improve your understanding of the topic and develop stronger skills in English grammar.

To determine whether a sentence is in active or passive voice, consider the subject of the sentence and the object that receives the action. If the subject performs the action, the sentence is in active voice. If the subject receives the action, with the doer of the action placed after the verb (often introduced by "by"), the sentence is in passive voice.

For wordiness, passive voice sentences tend to be longer because they include an additional helping verb and sometimes the word "by." Active voice sentences, on the other hand, are more concise and clear.

Regarding the appropriate use of passive voice, it is typically used when the person or thing performing the action is unimportant or unknown. In such cases, the focus is on the object or result of the action rather than the doer.

To convert a sentence from passive voice to active voice, identify the doer (person or thing) performing the action and place it before the verb. In the given example, "The game was won by the Bluejays," you would revise it as "The Bluejays won the game."

Remember, understanding and practicing the concept will benefit you more in the long run. If you are struggling with specific questions or need further clarification, I will be happy to assist you.
