"I finished my research paper two days early."

A good way to determine active vs passive is to ask who performed the action. Did the subject perform the action, or was the action performed "by" the subject?

The subject performs the action in this sentence:

I = [subject]
finished = [action]
my research paper = [thing on which the action was performed]

In the other examples, the subject has an action performed on it. 

My research paper = [subject]
was finished/is being finished = [action]
two days early = [time frame information, not really important for the discussion here]

At this point, you have no indication as to who will finish the paper, do you? No. You assume that the paper will be completed "by me," but it could just as easily be completed "by my friend."

If you can add "by [person/thing]" to a sentence, it's passive voice. If you can't, it's not. Clearly, you would never say "I finished my research paper by me."

Can someone proofread my conclusion paragraph about if I disagree or agree with football being too dangerous? If you see anythin
algol [13]
Instead of that why not say something like


High schoolers have been warned about the dangers of football but even so it’s something that everyone knows of and enjoys whether it’s watching or playing. Football has some moments where it can get unsafe but it’s nothing too dangerous to stop the sport. If football was a safer sport it would take away from the uniqueness that football is. Its a sport that has danger to make it enjoyable and that makes it a good sport. Of course not every sport has to have some action that can be unsafe to be enjoyable, but the slightest of danger is exactly what makes football a game that will be here forever. I believe that parents should sign their children up for football since it’s considered a unique and fun sport. I disagree that football is too dangerous to the point where it needs to become safer.

I hope this helped :)
