  • What are the active and passive voices in English? We use the active voice in a sentence when the subject performs a verb. For example: “Jim wrote a letter”. We use the passive voice when the subject is acted on by the verb. For example: “The letter was delivered by the postman”. Now, when should you use which voice? That is the question! In this English grammar lesson, I will teach you about using the active and passive voices. I will explain in more detail the difference between the two and give you lots of examples to solidify your understanding. I will also show you how to change a sentence from active to passive, or passive to active. You will learn some reasons why you might choose one or the other. This will help you in everyday speaking, as well as in writing, making your English more varied and interesting. Don’t forget to do the quiz after watching! www.engvid.com/learn-english-...

    Hello Gill, I’m an English teacher myself and I struggle with teaching students who even in their mother tongue don’t grasp the concept of the passive voice. Nowadays, kids often can’t identify subjects or objects and struggle with the use of tenses.
    Thank you for your lesson though 🌺🌸🌺
