A two-page handout, explaining the distinctions between the active and passive voices.
This handout was written by Lang Lit teacher Neville for an old A2 course which had a greater emphasis on grammatical knowledge. The ideas here are not vital to success on your course; but they might be of interest to you, especially if you like thinking about language and power.
Read carefully through the definitions on the first page, then complete the tasks on the second sheet.
