Test questions on distinguishing active and passive voice for 7th grade.

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔍 Active voice emphasizes the subject performing the action (e.g., The dog chased the ball).
• ✍️ Passive voice emphasizes the action or the object of the action (e.g., The ball was chased by the dog).
• 🔑 To identify passive voice, look for a form of the verb 'to be' (is, are, was, were, been, being) followed by a past participle.
• 💡 Active voice is generally more direct and concise.
• 📝 Passive voice can be useful when you don't know or don't want to emphasize the subject.
