8-3 Active vs. passive voice
I took this quiz. I just thought that ‘be + P.P’ is passive and the other is active. There is another option in there, so this is why I write this blog.
I saw two kind of options Hard lessons are often taught by experience.
Experience teaches hard lessons. I choose first one. The subject, Hard lessons, names the receiver of the action. The actor appears in the phrase by experience.
The interviewer acknowledged Marta's participation in the literacy program.
The subject, The interviewer, names the actor.
Dean Swanson ordered the new database system without consulting the faculty members who would be using it.
This sentence is in the active voice. The subject, Dean Swanson, names the actor.
It can assume that the sentences in this exercise work better in the active voice.
