Help students understand how sentence focus and emphasis can shift with this clear, practical guide to active and passive voice verbs.
 
Learners explore how the active voice highlights who performs the action, as in The scientist recorded the results, while the passive voice emphasises the action or recipient of the action, as in The results were recorded.
 
With straightforward explanations and over 10 targeted exercises, students learn to identify both voices, understand when each is most effective, and apply them correctly in their own writing. They also discover how switching between active and passive voice can make writing more dynamic, varied and purposeful, especially in scientific reports, formal writing and storytelling.
