Understanding Active and Passive Voice in Grammar

Welcome to Grammar Blasts #15! Today, we dive into the fascinating world of voice in grammar, specifically the differences between the active and passive voice. The active voice occurs when the subject performs the action (e.g., "The ninja sliced the fruit"), while the passive voice happens when the subject receives the action (e.g., "The tree was struck by lightning"). We’ll explore examples, convert sentences from passive to active, and engage in notebook exercises to sharpen your skills. Let’s make grammar fun!
