4 Writer s Notebook p. 188 Active v. Passive Voice 1.) Action verbs something the subject can do (cry, smile, walk) 2.) Linking verbs link the subject to the rest of the sentence *is am are was were be being been* Active Voice the subject does the action Ex.) The dog bit the boy. Passive Voice the action is done to the subject Ex.) The boy was bitten by the dog. In this sentence, the subject (boy) is NOT doing the biting. Look for linking verbs (was) to signal Passive Voice. Try to avoid Passive Voice in your writing! Look for linking verbs and ask yourself: Can I use action verbs instead? Ex.) Passive voice: The test was failed by the whole class. Active voice: The whole class failed the test.
5 Writer s Notebook p. 187 Action Verbs 1.) Circle the action verbs. Draw an arrow from the subject to the action verb. 2.) Look for linking verbs (is, am, are, was, were, be, being, been). Try to rewrite the sentence using action verbs. John Henry sang and he hammered and the air danced and the rainbow shimmered and the earth shook and rolled from the blows of the hammer. Finally it was quiet. Slowly the dust cleared. Folks could not believe their eyes. The boulder was gone. In its place was the prettiest and straightest road they had ever seen. Not only had John Henry pulverized the boulder into pebbles, he had finished building the road. In the distance, where the new road connected to the main one, the road crew saw John Henry waving good-bye, a hammer on each shoulder, the rainbow draped around him in love.
