This active and passive voice quiz exercise will test your understanding and sharpen your skills in differentiating between the two forms of voice. In English grammar, we look at “active voice” and “passive voice” as two different methods of phrasing sentences. Passive voice defines an action without laying much stress on the doer of the sentence whereas active voice lays much stress on the subject of this action. Can you fill in the correct form of the verb based on active or passive voice?
