How do I know if a sentence is in the active or passive voice?

English

Answer:

Remember: If the subject is performing the action, then the sentence is in active voice. If the subject is simply receiving the action, then the sentence is in passive voice. Shift the object of the action into the beginning of the sentence.  

Example:

You did not pay your bill.

(for example)
Active - The dog chased the ball.
Passive - The ball was chased by the dog.

in a passive sentence the subject is acted upon by the verb, whereas an active sentence is when the subject acts upon a verb.
Active is more common than passive.

Put the word(eaves) in a complex or compound sentence (hint:this word means the lower overhanging edges of a roof,rim) &amp; ( m
zubka84 [21]
Example of complex sentence: She asked her husband to make sure to paint the roof and to make sure to not leave any spots in the eaves unpainted.

<span>A complex sentence is a sentence containing a subordinate clause or clauses. This means that there is an independent clause (which means it can stand as a sentence by itself) and a dependent clause (which means a clause that cannot stand as a sentence by itself because it will  not make sentence). In the example above, the independent clause is '</span>She asked her husband to make sure to paint the roof' and the rest is the dependent clause. 

Compound sentence: She used to love going up to the roof and sitting with her feet dangling by the eaves because the stars could clearly be seen from there. 

A compound sentence is a sentence with more than one subject and predicate. In this example, there are 2 subjects: she and stars. There are also 2 corresponding predicates.

True or False: When quoting a play, remember to use quotation marks around a character's exact words. A. True B. False
Temka [501]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Quotation marks (") are used to show that an author is using someone else's exact words—they may be the words of a person, a character, or a written source. Use quotation marks only when quoting someone's exact words, either spoken or written. This is called a direct quotation.

Based on the interaction between miss miller and winterbourne ,it can reasonably be inferred that winterbourne?
meriva

The interaction between the characters shows that Winterbourne is very excited to visit the castle with Miss Miller.

<h3>Why can we come to this conclusion?</h3>
  • Because Winterbourne thinks Miss Miller is very pretty.
  • Because he's trying to get her attention.
  • Because he expects her to like him.

Winterbourne takes a keen interest in Miss Miller because she is young, beautiful, and single. He tried to get her attention, but she didn't show much interest until he invited her to visit a castle. She was very excited about the invitation and he was extremely excited at the prospect of being seen with such a beautiful and interesting girl.

He knows little about Miss Miller, but her presence attracts his attention and he wants to attract her attention as well.

This question is about the book "Daisy Miller" and you can find more information about it at the link:
