Task 3: Look through the grammar material on Passive voice and do the 
exercises given below. 
 
What is the passive voice? 
In general we tend to use the active voice. That is when a subject does an action to 
an object. 
1. 
Somebody stole my laptop. (subject = Somebody / action(verb) = stole / 
object = my laptop) 
The passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the action (the verb) and the 
object of a sentence rather than subject. This means that the subject is either less 
important than the action itself or that we don’t know who or what the subject is. 
1. 
My laptop was stolen. (The object – now the subject = My laptop / action= 
was stolen) 
1. 
Passive: Napa Valley is known for its excellent wines. 
2. 
Active: [Many people] know Napa Valley for its excellent wines. 
1. 
Passive: Twenty civilians were killed in the bomb explosion. 
2. 
Active: Someone killed twenty civilians in the bomb explosion.
