Writing in Active Voice: Present & Past Simple

Overview:

This worksheet focuses on rewriting sentences in the active voice, using a mix of present simple and past simple tenses, to enhance students' understanding of sentence structure and verb usage.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognise and understand active voice in both present simple and past simple tenses.
• Convert passive voice sentences into active voice with correct tense usage.
• Improve clarity and coherence in writing by practicing active constructions.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given sentences written in the passive voice, incorporating both present and past simple tenses. They must rewrite each sentence in the active voice. For example, "The ball is kicked by the player" becomes "The player kicks the ball," and "The cake was baked by Sarah" becomes "Sarah baked the cake." This activity is excellent for grammar practice and refining writing skills.
