Check which sentences are active and which are passive.

How many of the passive sentences can you remember?

Why do we use the passive voice?

1. To put emphasis on an Object
2. Because then the sentence sounds smarter
3. To put emphasis on the subject receiving an action
4. To put emphasis on the subject conducting an action

the passive voice?

1. The subject performs the action of the verb.
