Prompt:
Action verbs and phrases may transfer action. Transitive active verbs transfer action to a direct object; transitive passive verb phrases transfer action back to a passive subject.
Directions:
Each sentence below contains a transitive active or a transitive passive verb form. Do the following: 1) click to select the word that receives the action of the verb — this would be the passive subject or the direct object, and 2) click to select below whether the verb form in the prior sentence is transitive active or transitive passive.
