Active voice is a form of the verb (verb form) in which the subject of the sentence is the actor of
the verb in the sentence.One of the easy ways to identify active and passive sentences is by
having "by" in the sentence. Active sentences do not use by, while passive sentences use "by".

PASSIVE VOICE
Passive voice is a relationship between the subject and the verb where the subject
receives the action of the verb. Passive sentences are often used in formal texts.
Example :
CONDITIONAL SENTENCES
The zero conditional is used for when the time being referred to is now or always and the
situation is real and possible.
used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take
place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled.
subject of sentence
The most important thing is to learn.
complement of sentence
He wants to learn.
object of sentence
Gerunds can be used after certain verbs including enjoy, fancy, discuss, dislike, finish, mind,
suggest, recommend, keep, and avoid.
•>Some verbs can be followed by a gerund or an infinitive with little difference in meaning.
Examples:
➢ Gerund: My goal is winning the badminton
Infinitive: My goal is to win the badminton.
⇒ Progressive forms are used to emphasize that an action is taking place now. Passive forms are
used to emphasize that the subject of the sentence is being acted upon.
⇒ Perfect gerund and infinitive forms are used to emphasize completion in both the past and the
future. Study the examples below to help understand these concepts.
DEGREE
Definition
➢ Comparative adjectives are adjectives that compare differences between the attributes of two
nouns.
➢ These are often measurements, such as height, weight, depth, distance, etc., but they don’t
have to be.
➢ We can also use comparative adjectives to compare non-physical characteristics.
•>Adjective
tall
•>Comparative
Taller
Short” adjectives are adjectives that have only one syllable, or else have two syllables and end
in “-y.”
The rules:
First, if the adjective ends in “-e,” we just add “-r,” not “-er.” This is to avoid doubling the
letter
grey ⇒ greyer ⇒ greyest,
slow ⇒ slower ⇒ slowest
come coming
date dating
dine dining
Second, if the last three letters of the adjective are in the pattern consonant, vowel, consonant,
we double the final consonant before adding “-er” to the word. For example:
➢ cheap becomes cheaper, not cheapest.
➢ Fat ⇒ fatter ⇒ fattest,
Superlative Adjective
adjectives that describe the attribute of a person or thing that is the highest (or lowest) in degree
compared to the members of the noun’s group.
Superlative adjectives are similar to comparative adjective, except they express the most extreme
degree of comparison, and they are only used when talking about groups of three or more
people or things.
We form superlative adjectives either by adding “-est” to the end of the adjective, or by
adding the word most before the adjective.
⦿ Good – goodest
Strong – strongest
⦿ Taller – Tallest
The final consonant is not doubled if it is preceded by two vowels or another
consonant, as in:
⦿ Noist – noisiest
Old – oldest
⦿ Odd – oddest
Polite – politest
For example:
fera is more honest than her sister.
rizky is more handsome than his brother.
