Use the drop-down menus to identify the voice of each underlined verb. two homes were broken into, but there are still no suspects. active voice passive voice the radio disc jockey recommended the show. active voice passive voice the neighbor’s tulips were trampled last night by my new puppy. active voice passive voice that song gives amelia a headache every time she hears it. active voice passive voice

The correct answer is: 1. passive/2. active/3. passive/4. active

Explanation:

Passive voice is used to take away the focus of the subject onto the object. It's written using the verb to be and the past participle of the main verb of the sentence. Sometimes it can be followed by a 'by phrase' to indicate who the action-doer was.

The two homes were broken into...

Object: the two homes

Verb to be: were

Past participle: broken into

In this particular sentence the subject is obvious (burglars) so the by-phrase is not needed.

The neighbor's tulips were trampled last night by my new puppy.

Object: the neighbor's tulips

Verb to be: were

Past participle: trampled

Time: last night

Subject: my new puppy

In this other passive sentence though we know who performed the action, the importance is focused on the action: the tulips were ruined.
