Active and Passive VerbsActive and Passive Verbs

• Active verbs form more efficient and more powerful sentences than passive verbs. This document will teach you why and how to prefer active verbs. 

• The subject of an active voice sentence performs the action of the verb:  “I throw the ball.”

• The subject of a passive voice sentence is still the main character of the sentence, but something else performs the action: “The ball is thrown by me.”

1. How to Recognize Active and Passive Sentences1. How to Recognize Active and Passive Sentences  

• Find the subject (the main character of the sentence).

• Find the main verb (the action that the sentence identifies).

• Examine the relationship between the subject and main verb.– Does the subject perform the action of the main verb? (If so,

the sentence is active.)– Does the subject sit there while something else — named or

unnamed –performs an action on it? (If so, the sentence is passive.)

– Can’t tell? If the main verb is a linking verb (“is,” “was,” “are,” “seems (to be),” “becomes” etc.), then the verb functions like an equals sign; there is no action involved — it merely describes a state of being.
