After numerous years of being "taught" the difference between active and passive voice, I finally understand it. I can't believe I let myself lose points on almost every paper I've written over the past few years because of something so simple.
From the lesson this week, I learned that there is such a big difference between telling someone something and teaching someone something.
I have learned that active voice is: Subject, Verb, Object
For example- Andrew threw the ball (rather than passive voice, The ball was thrown by Andrew).
I think that when students assist in the teaching, rather just the teacher lecturing, it helps to make learning more effective. I know it helped me when in class, multiple students gave their explanation of active voice before we were actually given a definition and example from Kim Young.
This week was very helpful to me.
