Passive and active Voice

I'll start with active voice because it's simpler. In an active sentence, the subject is doing the action. A straightforward example is the sentence "Steve loves Amy." Steve is the subject, and he is doing the action: he loves Amy, the object of the sentence.

In passive voice, the target of the action gets promoted to the subject position. Instead of saying, "Steve loves Amy," I would say, "Amy is loved by Steve." The subject of the sentence becomes Amy, but she isn't doing anything. Rather, she is just the recipient of Steve's love. The focus of the sentence has changed from Steve to Amy.

Of course to work with this topic we have to know how to use the tenses.

Teaching solutions and how we can help the students to face this challenge: first of all, the teacher must teach the students how to Identify the subject (agent), verb (action) and object of the action in the sentences, secondly, the students have to get a great use of the tenses because they will need to make the correct changes depends on the tenses we’re working with and give them many examples in all the possible tenses, these examples will guide the students and allow them to learn easily. Finally, is important that the teacher motivate the students and make some exercises in a didactic way like games and competitions.
