ACTIVE AND PASSIVE SENTENCES

Definition :

Active Voice

A feature of sentences in which the subject performs the action of the verb and the direct object is the goal or the recipient.

In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb.

Passive Voice

A feature of sentences in which the object or goal of the action functions as the sentence subject and the main verb phrase includes the verb to be and the past participle.

One can change the normal word order of many active sentences (those with a tdirect object) so that the subject is no longer active, but is, instead, being acted upon by the verb - or passive.

Example :

Harry ate six shrimp at dinner. (active)
At dinner, six shrimp were eaten by Harry. (passive)

Beautiful giraffes roam the savannah. (active)
The savannah is roamed by beautiful giraffes. (passive)

Sue changed the flat tire. (active)
The flat tire was changed by Sue. (passive)

We are going to watch a movie tonight. (active)
A movie is going to be watched by us tonight. (passive)

I ran the obstacle course in record time. (active)

Definition Article A, An, and The

In English there are three articles: a, an, and the. Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of adjective. The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader. The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known. There are certain situations in which a noun takes no article.

Definite article :

the (before a singular or plural noun)

Indefinite article :

a (before a singular noun beginning with a consonant sound)

an (before a singular noun beginning with a vowel sound)
