Download this free B1–B2 grammar worksheet PDF for English learners and teachers. This lesson helps students practise the passive voice in clear, practical English.
Students learn how to form the passive with be + past participle and how to choose the correct passive structure in different tenses. The worksheet covers the present simple passive, past simple passive, present perfect passive, future passive with will and modal passive forms.
Students practise examples such as The room is cleaned every evening, The bridge was built in 2005, The emails have been sent, The results will be announced tomorrow and The form must be completed. The worksheet also explains when to use by + agent, for example when the person or thing that does the action is important.
The lesson helps students understand when the passive voice is useful. It shows that the passive is often used when the receiver of the action is more important than the doer, or when the doer is unknown, obvious or unimportant. Students also practise passive negatives and questions, including forms such as The documents have not been checked and Were the files sent?
The PDF includes a grammar focus section, passive voice exercises, choose-the-correct-form practice, sentence matching, mistake correction, mini-dialogues, passive sentence rewriting, active/passive choice practice, speaking questions, writing practice, vocabulary practice, an error-checking challenge, useful reminders and a full answer key.
This worksheet can be used in one-to-one lessons, group classes, online English lessons, adult ESL lessons, EFL classes, homework or independent grammar practice.
