Verb Voice and Mood

English · Grammar & Punctuation · conceptual

Understand and use active and passive voice deliberately, and recognise verb moods (indicative, imperative, subjunctive, conditional) and their effects — choosing the appropriate voice and mood for purpose and audience

What mastery looks like

  • Rewrite an active sentence in the passive voice and explain when the passive is more appropriate
  • Identify the subjunctive mood in a formal text (e.g., 'If I were...', 'It is essential that he be...')
  • Explain why a scientific report typically uses passive voice while a personal narrative uses active

Check your understanding

When Verb Voice and Mood writes a formal report or analysis, can they choose between active and passive voice deliberately — for example, using passive voice in a science write-up to sound objective and impersonal?
