whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Actually, I believe these are in the passive voice. Passive for past tense, or things that had already happened. Active for things that will be done or that are currently being done.

Yes, because it happened in the past.

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

I am having second thoughts about your first question. I'm leaning more towards D for this one.

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

i ahve my book out and The acitve voice indicates that the subject is performing the action The passive voice indicates that the action of the verb is being performed upon the sibject

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

So A is in the active voice.

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

yea if u say so

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

I'm thinking C or D. I'm not 100% sure on this one, sorry.

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

ok lets do another one

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

Which sentence is in the passive voice? A. Sports equipment was featured in the center aisle. B. A harsh winter will require a number of preparations. C. A wreath of ivy hung on the front door. D. Dragonflies with pale wings darted in the twilight.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Which one are you thinking?

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

i dont knkow it seems hard

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

can u help me?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Going according to what your book says, it seems A is in the passive tense, because the subject is not performing the action, the action is being performed upon the subject.

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):
