Annotated Fairy Tales, Fairy Tale Books and Illustrations The Internet Book Database of Fiction • Index page Active Voice Versus Passive Voice Today's topic is active voice versus passive voice. Here's a question from Brian in Iowa. He writes, “It drives me crazy when people write in passive voice. How can I teach people how to tell the difference between passive and active voice and to stay away from passive voice?” Well, Brian is right, the first step is to help people understand the difference between active and passive voice, because many people believe they should avoid the passive voice, but fewer people can define it or recognize it. What Is Active Voice? I'll start with active voice because it's simpler. Another example is the title of the Marvin Gaye song “I Heard It through the Grapevine.” What Is Passive Voice?

Free Online Novels HowStuffWorks "Structural Effects -- Poetic Meter" Put Your Feet Together: Building Meter There really is no limit to the number of syllables that can be contained in a foot. A poet could even create a meter that has ten syllables in each foot if he or she wanted to. Most feet, however, are made up of four or fewer syllables. An iamb is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable as in par-TAKE.A trochee is a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable as in BAN-jo.A dactyl is a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables as in CAP-it-al.An anapest is two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable as in sev-en-TEEN.An amphibrach is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable and then an unstressed syllable as in ar-CHA-ic.A cretic is a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable and then another stressed syllable as in TRAM-po-LINE. When you put the feet together, you get meter. Another tool poets have is structure. Sometimes poets put a whole sentence on one line.
