On the episode #46 of grammar girl it explains the difference between passive and active voice.
In an active voice sentence, the subject is doing the action, and the object receives it. For example, "My mom gave my sister money". In this case my mom is the subject because she gave my sister the money which is the action of the sentence, and my sister is the object because she just receives the money.
Another example is, "Julian gave Angie roses for valentine's day "; In this sentence Julian is the subject because he gave Angie the roses, and Angie is the object because she received the roses.
In a passive voice sentence the object becomes the subject. Instead of saying, "My mom gave my sister money". I'd say, "My sister was given money by my mom", Now the subject of the sentence is my sister, even though she's not doing anything but receiving the money.
In the sentence, "Julian gave Angie roses for valentine's day", I'd say, "Angie was given roses by Julian on valentine's day". Now Angie is the subject, even though she just received the roses.
IN THE EPISODE #46 OF GRAMMER GIRL SHE EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PASSIVE AND ACTION VOICE.
IN A PASSIVE VOICE SENTENCE THE OBJECT BECOMES THE SUBJECT. FOR EXAMPLE "HOMELESS ARE CARED BY ME". IN THE ACTIVE VOICE THE SUBJECT IS DOING THE ACTION SO IT WOULD BE "I CARE FOR THE HOMELESS".
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A PASSIVE VOICE WOULD BE "I LOVE SHOPPING". IN THE ACTION VOICE IT WOULD BE "SHOPPING IS LOVED BY ME".
I THINK EDWINS RESPONSE FIT WELL WITH WHAT THE GRAMMER GIRL WAS TALKING ABOUT. HE'S EXAMPLES WERE GOOD ONES.
On episode 46 of grammar girl she explains differences of passive and active voice.
She explains that active voice, the subject of the verb does the action. She also gave examples of active voice like saying, "Steve loves Amy". Meaning that Steve is the subject, so that means he is doing the action and Amy is the object because she is the one that Steve loves and is talking about.
An example that i thought might be active voice is saying, "Kobe dunked the ball". Kobe is the subject because he's the one who has the ball and the ball is the object because that is what he is using to dunk .
She also explains in passive voice how the object becomes the subject. The example she used was saying how, "Steve loves Amy", to change the object into the subject you would say, " Amy is loved by Steve making Steve the object and Amy the subject.
An example of my own instead of saying,"Kobe dunked the ball, I would say," The ball was dunked in by Kobe". Changing the ball to the subject and Kobe to the object.
Nathalie gave a great example of passive voice using the shopping example.
Edwin gave a good example of active voice by using the mom, money, and sister sentence was a great way of thinking.
On episode #46 of grammar girl, she explains the difference between a active and passive voice.
Grammar girl explains in an active sentence, the subject is doing the action. An example of a active sentence would be " John broke the window". John being the subject an d "broke" being an active verb followed by a direct object something that recieves the word "window".
She also explains about passive voice sentences. In a passive voice sentence the object becomes the subject. She gave some examples like "Amy is loved by Steve". The subject of the sentence becomes Amy. My example of a passive voice sentence would be " English is being spoken". Now to convert it to an active voice would be " They are speaking English".
Grammar girl gave me a more understanding between an active and passive voice sentence. Also not all passive sentences have the form "to be". It is a little confusing but grammar girl made it not so difficult.
I think nathalie gave good example of shopping mostly because i love to shop too. She made it clear to what the difference is.
Laundius personally did a very good job. Im proud of him i like how he showed differences and didnt confuse me while reading his material.
Thanks for your posts so far. You guys have some good examples and comments. Others who still need to post, make sure that you use other examples besides being loved! Keep the good work. You guys are awesome.
in episode #46 grammar girl tells us the differences between passive and active voice. An active voice is when someone is doing an action for example Cris killed the bird. in this sentence Cris is the subject and he is doing the action. A passive voice is when the object becomes the subject.for example the bird was killed by Cris. the bird becomes the subject but we know that Cris killed the bird. Grammar girl also says that passive sentences aren't incorrect but at times they do sound a little awkward. I think Laundias 2 Raw gives great examples and descriptions on what passive and active words were about. he gave me a clear get to the chase description and i didn't have 2 read it twice for me to get it. Nathalie gave me a good understanding with the examples she used.
In Episode #46 of Grammar Girl we learn about the active and passive voice.
Active voice is when the subject is doing the action, It is also used more often than passive voice. Passive voice can be very akward and boring,an example of active voice would be "Joseph is hitting Erick",Joseph is the subject doing the action.
Passive voice is somewhat of a reversal. The object becomes the subject, so my example reversed would be "Erick is being hit by Joseph". Passive voice is also used when the actor isn't known.. or we just want to leave him out to make the sentence more mysterious.Example: "The money was stolen". This sounds more mysterious than "The robbers stole the money".
Lauren gives a good example of an active sentence, when she talks about John breaking the window. It helped me see the object and the subject better.
Laundius also gives a good example of Kobe dunking the ball!
I never knew the meaning of passive and action voice, i thought they were the same thing but there diffrent.
So for an Exmaple o action voice,
Ms. Allen gave the class homework in this case Ms. Allen is the subject because she gave the class homework which is the action of the sentence, and the class is the object because they received the homework.
Example for passive,
The class was given homework by Ms.Allen, Now the subject of the sentence is the class even though the class is not doing anything but receiving the homework.
The grammar girl for this week was about sentence fragment, i think it was a good episode i learned alot about how not to make a run on sentence and how a sentence in a paragragh is suppose to look like, It helped me alot because sometimes i have diffuculty kepping my sentences short and they become run on sentences. whitch is not a good thing in essays and sometimes are difficult to understand and dont make sence.
My paln after high school. fragment for example. My plan after high school is to attend collage and get a good degree.
Well in Grammar Girl #46, she explains the difference between passive and active voice. In an active voice sentence the subject is doing the action and the object receives it. In a passive voice sentence the object becomes the subject.
Edwin gave good examples on what passive and active voice is.
In this grammar girl episode, I learned how to differentiate the passive voice and the active voice. In the active voice sentence, the subject is performing the action, and the object recieves it.
Example:
1. "Maria let me borrow her ipod." The subject would be Maria because she let me borrow the item. The object would be me because I recieved it.
2. Another example would be when the passive voice is not known. "I gave her some money yesterday." In this case, I was the subject and she was the object.
Responses:
* I liked Joel's explanation of this podcast and how he used his examples to back up his explanation. Those examples make sense to me.
* I also liked Edwin's response to this grammar girl. He explained to me what the object does and what the subject does in his examples.
Gramma Girl #1--episode #46 is explaining passive voice and active voice. In passive voice, the object is doing the action. In active voice, the subject is doing the action. We have to use passive past tense verb in passive sentences.
ex: My mom is cleaning the floor. (this is active voice) In this example, "my mom" is the subject and it's doing the acion. ex: The floor is being cleaned by my mom. (this is passive action) In this example, "the floor" is the object and it's doing the action.

oh my word,
I never knew the meaning of passive and action voice, i thought they were the same thing but there diffrent.
So for an Exmaple o action voice,
Ms. Allen gave the class homework
in this case Ms. Allen is the subject because she gave the class homework which is the action of the sentence, and the class is the object because they received the homework.
Example for passive,
The class was given homework by Ms.Allen, Now the subject of the sentence is the class even though the class is not doing anything but receiving the homework.

In passive voice, the object is doing the action. In active voice, the subject is doing the action.
We have to use passive past tense verb in passive sentences.
ex: My mom is cleaning the floor.
(this is active voice)
In this example, "my mom" is the subject and it's doing the acion.
ex: The floor is being cleaned by my mom.
(this is passive action)
In this example, "the floor" is the object and it's doing the action.
Responsed:
I like Lauran's explaination of active and passive voice.
I like Edwin's examples, they make me have a better understanding.
