active and passive voice

I went to Yahoo and searched for keywords, " grammar excerise" and get many results. I went to one of the wedsites and get the two sentences below.

The Active Voice


The word, "hit", in that sentence is a active verb. "Flying debris" is doer and "some people" is receiver.
The Passive Voice
The word, "were hit" is passive verb. "Some people" is the receiver and "flying debris" is doer.

Winky, I don't know what "wedsites" are, but I know you can improve your assignments because right now, they are neither complete nor correct.

Find authentic texts; that is, find a passage that uses the grammar point but doesn't discuss it. Your examples are not authentic because the grammar point is used only to teach you and not to express any other point besides the grammar itself.

Don't use grammar resources as the examples; use them as the explanations.
