*ACTIVE vs. PASSIVE*

Write two sentences using the verb wake.

In the first sentence, use the word in the active voice; in the second sentence, use it in the passive voice.

wake

Active Voice; Mary would not wake up this morning.

Passive Voice; She was a wake by the time the alarm went off.

Good try, Diana. But you have not used the passive voice. This is something you might want to review.

The passive form of "wake" is "[be] woken".

For example:

"Mary was woken by the alarm."
