EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

This worksheet focuses on rewriting present simple sentences in the passive voice, helping students strengthen their understanding of this grammatical structure.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify and understand the structure of present simple sentences in the passive voice.
  • Transform active voice sentences into the passive voice accurately.
  • Improve grammar and writing skills by practising sentence construction.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given a set of active voice sentences in the present simple tense. Their task is to rewrite each sentence in the passive voice. For example, "The chef cooks the meal" becomes "The meal is cooked by the chef". This activity is ideal for grammar practice or as part of a lesson on voice and sentence structure.
