Active and Passive Voice

🎶 Verse 1 (Active Voice) 👩‍🏫 In active voice, the subject does the deed, Like “The cat chased the mouse,” oh yes indeed! The doer comes first, then action is shown, It’s clear and strong — the voice we own! 📚 Structure: Subject + Verb + Object Example: The chef cooks the meal. พ่อครัวทำอาหาร ________________________________________ 🎶 Chorus 🎤 Who’s doing what? That’s the voice! Active is loud, passive is choice! Move that object, flip the game, Passive voice will shift the frame! ________________________________________ 🎶 Verse 2 (Passive Voice) 👨‍🏫 In passive voice, we flip the line, “The mouse was chased” — it's still just fine. The object comes first, the verb is changed, Add “by the cat,” now it’s rearranged. 📚 Structure: Object + Verb to be + Past Participle (+ by + Agent) Example: The meal is cooked by the chef. อาหารถูกทำโดยพ่อครัว ________________________________________ 🎶 Bridge 🎸 Use passive when the doer’s unknown, Or not important — leave it alone! Like “The song was sung,” but by who? It still sounds great — that much is true! 📚 Example: The letter was sent yesterday. จดหมายถูกส่งเมื่อวานนี้ (No need to say who sent it!) ________________________________________ 🎶 Final Chorus 🎤 Who’s doing what? That’s the voice! Learn the forms and make the choice. Active is bold, direct and clear, Passive is smooth when details disappear. ________________________________________ 🎶 Outro 📘 Active or passive, both have a place, In every sentence that you embrace. Just think of the role the subject will play, And choose your voice in the perfect way!
