Very sorry, but I hope that I can get to as many as possible.

Okay, share the video and off we go.

All righty.

So let's get started with the difference between active and passive.

Let's start over here first.

What is active voice.

What is passive voice?

Let's talk about what these topics with these things, even our I'm going to slow down a little bit, too.

So first active voice.

What is active voice?

So active voice is something.

It's like, Ah, way of speaking or a way of writing.

You can think of it kind of like a style that you use.

So in active voice sentences, the focus of the sentence is the person or the thing doing the action we want to focus on, like the person doing something that's our focus for the sentenced or the thing that is doing something.

So the actor so in this case actor does not mean like famous person.

In a movie, it means the person or the thing doing the action that is the subject of the sentence.

So maybe you remember in English Word order.

We have subject verb object, so subject verb object is the of the order in which the parts of the sentence are organized.

So let's take a look at a couple of basic examples of this active voice.

Sentences are, for example, I wrote an email so very simple sentence who wrote the e mail.

I did I and the actor.

I'm the person doing something.

My verb is wrote past tense of right.

And then my object is an email.

I wrote an email.

This is a simple, active voice.

Sentence second example here.

Uh, he called some friends.

He called some friends.

So again, in this case, my focus is the person doing the activity.

The actor in the sentence My verb here is called past tense of calls or to call means like to call someone on the phone and then some friends, some friends.

So these are the things email and friends.

These are the things that are like receiving the action.

Yeah, so they are affected by the action here, done by the subject.

So this is active voice.

So active voice in English looks like this.

Let's compare this then, too.

Passive voice, passive voice.

So what is passive voice?

So passive voice is different from active voice.

In that impassive voice sentences the focus is the person or the thing receiving the action, the person or the thing receiving the action.

So in these sentences, our focus is the person or the thing doing the action, impassive voice sentences.

We want to focus on the thing, receiving the action.

So the person or the thing receiving the action is the subject.

So we can kind of imagine a little bit.

These sentences are kind of the opposite in some ways.

Okay, so some examples them.

I've changed these sentences, these active voice sentences into passive voice sentences.

So here an email was written.

This is a passive voice sentence.

An email was written, so we don't know or we don't care about the person who did it.

We want to focus on the result here, and email was written and e mail was written.

Second, some friends were called.

Some friends were called.

So again, we don't know who did the action.

We don't want to focus on that.

We want to focus on like the result.

We want to focus on the thing that received the action.

So how do we make passive voice to make a passive voice expression you can use?

This is a basic powder, and I'm going to show you how to change between the two in part two of today's lesson.

So here to make a passive voice expression use your subject, plus the verb to be plus the past participle form of a verb.

So subject in this case is an email in this example sentence.

My beaver biz was because I'm talking about a past situation and the past participle form of right is written, written.

So an email was written.

An email was written.

The other example.

Here This is a plural subject, so plural subject means there's more than one of something.

It's plural.

So some friends my subject be here I'm using were were because plural subject some friends and then call becomes called in the past partisan over form.

So this is the difference between active voice and passive voice in terms of grammar in terms of the, uh, what we want to communicate.

So some examples.

I saw some examples coming in, Andrew says.

The decorations for the party were created yes, by Alicia.

So if you want to, you can attach the person.

The actor at the end of the sentence don't have to sic.

Eraser says.

The slipper was nibbled.

Good.

So maybe like your dog, or like your cat or somebody nibbled on a slipper.

That's funny.

Some examples on Facebook.

Someone says there's a problem and focusing.

I don't know.

I don't see any examples on Facebook yet.

So come on.

Facebook.

I I don't see anything.

Lots people saying hello.

Some active sentences.

Bori says she does her homework every night.

So we're going to practice in part to today how to change your active voice sentence into a passive sentence.

So I hope you can practice that I don't see much, Uh, in terms of examples and your toes much in terms of example sentences.

All righty.

Cool.

So, uh, please get ready to practice, then.

Changing active too passive in part to today's.

Listen, we'll take a quick break, and then we'll continue on to that.

So I hope that part two is very helpful for many people today, right?

I showed you this a little bit earlier.

I showed you at the beginning of today's lesson.

Uh, the three things that you can find from the link below the video if you're watching on YouTube or above the video, if you're watching on Facebook, these are free.

So, uh, these are for free.

Confined these from the link below the video If you're watching on YouTube or above the video, if you are watching on Facebook, uh, this one's backwards.

Uh, this is also backwards.

I picked them up backwards.

Let's continue to part two of today's lesson.

Uh, someone says I shared Alicia's livestream with my sister Wu.

Yeah, if you haven't already do Please make sure to like and share this video so that other people can find today's lesson.

I have shared it.

Someone else has just shared it.

Thank you.

So let's get to part two.

Part two of today's lesson.

If you're just joining, um today's topic is active voice versus passive voice.

Now next, I'm going to share.

I hope some something that's helpful.

Many of you have asked me about this.

Um, how to convert?

Meaning how to change your active sentence to a passive sentence.

So I will move over here.

Can I?

I'll probably move in between.

Maybe it's better to go over here.

Okay, I'll do this.

So changing.

Active, too passive.

Let's talk about this.

I explained in part one today that when we make an active voice sentence, we have this subject verb object pattern.

Right?

So I talked about this like I wrote an email or whatever were met with a very basic sentence.

So, for example, if my subject is she mailed a letter, I have that same pattern.

Yeah, subject verb past tense object, a letter, the thing receiving the action.

Another example.

We ate all of the cookies So again, subject my verb past tense.

All of the cookies receives this action.

So how do we change this?

These sentences here are active voice sentences.

But if we want to change an active voice sentience to a passive voice sentence, how do we do that First of all, you need to make sure that you have these parts of your sentence.
