Active and passive voice worksheets

A verb form can be in the active voice or in the passive voice. Active verb forms are
different from passive forms; however, sometimes they are confused. These mistakes are not
very surprising because of the following reasons.

Be (is, am, are, was and were) can be used to make both passive forms and continuous
forms in the active voice.

Past participles are used to make both passive verb forms and perfect tenses in the active
voice.

Find out the verbs in the following sentences and state whether they are in the
active voice or passive voice.

1. The boy killed the spider.

2. This house was built by my grandfather.

3. The boy was bitten by a snake.

4. The loud noise frightened the cows.

5. His command was promptly obeyed.
