 Analysis
Once the activity is over, the teacher will ask the students the following questions:
1. What was the difference you saw with the active sentences and passive
sentences?
2. What was the emphasis with the active voice sentences?
3. What was the emphasis with the passive voice sentences?
 Abstraction
The teacher will then present the lesson with the following:

TEACHER: To begin, let us know the difference between the active voice and passive voice.
Active Voice – In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs the
action denoted by the verb.
For Example: Marilyn mailed the letter.
TEACHER: What action is being done in the sentence? Who is doing the action? What is
emphasized in this sentence? Sometimes, the subject (or the doer) will not be present in the
sentence.
***Write this on the white/chalkboard. For example: The report was sent yesterday.
(After the students are finished answering the questions, the teacher will proceed to passive
voice)

TEACHER: Now, let us move forward to the passive voice. What do you think is the difference
of the passive voice from the active voice? Let us find out together.
Passive Voice – The subject of the sentence is receiving the action given by the verb.
For example: The letter is being mailed by Marilyn.
TEACHER: What action is being done in the sentence? Who is doing the action? What is
emphasized in this sentence?

(After the students are finished answering the questions, the teacher will proceed to open
another visual aid containing the activity the students did last meeting.) ***NOTE: Teacher can
also use this time for checking the last activities with the students.

TEACHER: Now, let us use your previous activity and determine whether you correctly change
the active voice sentences into passive ones. Remember, the tense should still be the same when
rewriting the sentence in passive form.
