Whether you are just starting your English learning journey or looking to refine your skills, LanGeek has something for everyone.
What Are Verbs and Voices?
Verbs are the core of English sentences, conveying actions, states, or occurrences. But it is not just about understanding verbs in isolation—verbs can change based on the voice of a sentence. The two primary voices in English are:
Active voice where the subject performs the action (e.g., "The teacher explains the lesson").
Passive voice where the subject receives the action (e.g., "The lesson is explained by the teacher").
Learning when and how to use these voices effectively is crucial for fluency, and our lessons guide you through both voices, making it easy to master them.
