PASSIVE VOICE EXERCISES

Let's Learn Passive Voice

    Most learners of English language find problems in learning Passive Voice. Undoubtedly, they consider 'Passive Voice' to be the most difficult grammar part of English language. Some language teachers also make Passive Voice a 'monster' in front of the learner. 

   The learner is not made aware 'when' and 'why' Passive Voice' sentence patterns are used in the English language. Examples can be best drawn from the learner's first language; it could easily make the matters clear. A healthy discussion with the student in the learner's first language on instances where Active Voice and Passive Voice sentences are used will help the learner learn this sentence pattern better. 

    Before taking up Passive Voice you must make sure that your student has a sound knowledge of 'Irregular Verbs'. I find that most students have  an aversion for Passive Voice because of this problem. Start Passive Voice with your students only if they are thorough with irregular verb forms. 

   Finally it is the 'IRREGULAR PAST PARTICIPLE' that makes your student shun from Passive Voice. Practice irregular verbs with your students. It will make your path clear for teaching 'Passive Voice'. 

   My aim here is to help you with some activities that could facilitate your teaching and learning process. 

  I hope you would make best use of these simple activities.
