Master the A2-Level Present Simple Passive with Engaging Exercises

Present Simple Passive is a grammatical structure where the subject of the sentence receives the action of the verb. In contrast, Present Simple Active is a structure where the subject performs the action. For example, `The book is read by the student` is a Present Simple Passive sentence, whereas `The student reads the book` is a Present Simple Active sentence.

Present Simple Passive is used to describe actions that are performed on the subject, or to talk about general facts or truths. It is often used to emphasize the action rather than the person or thing performing it.

Present Simple Passive is formed by using the verb `be` in the appropriate present tense (e.g. `is`, `am`, `are`) followed by the past participle of the main verb. For example, `The house is cleaned every day` uses `is` as the auxiliary verb and `cleaned` as the past participle.

One common mistake is using Present Simple Passive when Active Voice would be more appropriate or clear. Another mistake is forgetting to include the agent (the person or thing performing the action) in the sentence, which can make the sentence unclear.

You can practice using Present Simple Passive by writing sentences in both Active and Passive Voice, and then comparing the two to see how the meaning and tone of the sentence changes. You can also create grammar activities such as fill-in-the-blank exercises, sentence jumbles, and sentence transformations to practice using Present Simple Passive. And try this activity
