These mistakes are not very surprising because of the following reasons. Be (is, am, are, was and were) can be used to make both passive forms and continuous forms in the active voice. Past participles are used to make both passive verb forms and perfect tenses in the active voice. Find out the verbs in the following sentences and state whether they are in the active voice or passive voice. 1. The boy killed the spider. 2. This house was built by my grandfather. 3. The boy was bitten by a snake. 4. The loud noise frightened the cows. 5. His command was promptly obeyed. 6. All the milk was drunk by the cat. 7. She opened the door. 8.
