UNIT 2 Continue Voice Verbs are in active voice when the doer is the subject. John wrote a letter to his mother. John is the doer; the verb is in active voice. Intransitive verbs always speak actively because the doer is always the subject. Verbs are in passive voice when the receiver is the subject. In your study of transitive verbs, you learned that only transitive verbs can speak passively because only transitive verbs have a receiver. The letter was written by John. Letter is the receiver; the verb is in passive voice. We can recognize passive voice immediately because it is always made up of the irregular verb plus the third principal part of the verb.
