(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

English verbs can be active or passive, but beginners often start with active sentences, like The dog chased the ball.

In ESL Easy, active sentences are a helpful starting point because they follow a clear pattern, subject + verb + object. This makes it easier to talk about everyday actions and simple stories.

Key Terms

  • Verb: A word that shows an action or a state, like “run” or “is”.
  • Subject: The person or thing doing the action, like “the dog” or “I”.
  • Object: The person or thing receiving the action, like “the ball” in “kick the ball”.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is an active sentence in English?

An active sentence is when the subject does the action, such as “The girl opened the door.” The focus is on who did it.

How do I make a simple active sentence?

Use subject + verb, and add an object if needed. For example, “I washed my hands” or “They play football”.

What is the difference between active and passive voice?

Active voice says who does the action. Passive voice focuses on the result, like “The door was opened”, and may not say who opened it.
