On Monday, August 26th, we will have our first grammar quiz. It will be a multiple choice/true-false clicker quiz on Active vs. Passive Voice.
Here is a handout that explains Active vs. Passive Voice (it's a pdf):
Active vs. Passive Voice Handout
Basically, active voice is (almost always) better than passive voice. Here is a quick example.
(Active Voice): Sarah bought two tickets for the baseball game.
(Passive Voice): Two tickets to the baseball game were bought by Sarah.
The first sentence is clear and follows standard English. Make sure you can identify if a sentence is in active or passive voice and which one is better!
