Passive Voice and Pop Quiz..!!

Tuesday,28/2/2012
Today class,we were learning about Passive Voice that was delivered by Megat,Sue,Niena and Nabilah.
What is Passive Voice?
Passive voice is used when the emphasis is more on the object of a sentence rather than the doer. 
The differences between active voice and passive voice:

  • Syazwan kicked the ball into the lake (active voice)
  • The ball was kicked into the lake by Syazwan (passive voice)
Syazwan=Subject  The ball=Object  Kicked=Action


Active voice: subject + action + object
Passive voice: object + auxiliary verb + action + by + subject


click this,my friends:

After we learned passive voice,Ms Zu  want to make a pop quiz of argumentative essay. We were divided into 6 groups,2 groups with 5 and balance with 4 candidates. I teamed up with Izuwan,Syazwan,Fadzli and Taufik. We also need to divided our team members,so Syazwan  must do the introduction,Taufik main point 1,Fadzli point number 2,myself point number 3 and Izuwan need to write the conclusion. The title of the argumentative essay is 'Parents Neglectance is main factor of social problems among youngsters'. So my group are not agree with this statement,because there are lot of factors that throw the youngsters into social problems such as factor from mass media,poor selection of friends and pressure.
