- Do you have trouble avoiding writing in passive voice? Are you a graduate or doctoral student where active voice is encouraged? Be sure to download the 3 slides on my blog: www.DissertationPublishing.com to help you convert passive voice to active voice knowing how to adjust the order of sentence elements such as Subject, Verb, and Object. Let Dr. Cheryl Lentz shorten your learning curve.
Dr. Lentz, I always appreciate those willing to take the time to help. My apologies for disagreeing with your second example, but
"Will be considered" is future tense and "considered" is past tense; two completely different messages.
Thank you Dr. Lentz! As a DNP candidate, this has really helped me!
Two things, one already mentioned. Why is "the study" not the subject of that sentence? Why are the authors of the study the focal point instead of the study itself? It's very possible I don't understand what is meant grammatically by "subject". In the next sentence, changing the action from future to past seems an odd way to avoid passive voice. It literally distorts the intended meaning of the sentence by shifting when the action takes place. I've also noticed Timothy Cameron's objection to Dr. Lentz's distortion of the meaning of that sentence was posted 8 months ago and hasn't received a reply from Dr. Lenz yet.
Thank you, Dr. C!
Are you struggling with Passive Voice as your write your homework this week?
If Smith and Smith will review documents in the future, how is making it a past tense useful? It's not passive, but it's also not reflecting the desired idea. Here's an example of my problem: "I remembered the teacher warning us about the dangers of touching a person who is being electrocuted, that they be victim to a bigger jolt than the person being electrocuted."
Hello Dr. Cheryl Lentz.
I am a blog writer and I am facing this issue of passive voice on my websites. I need to know that why using passive voice is considered a bad approach. Like I have written a sentence "This should be kept in mind that author isn't a medical expert" and I am getting passive voice error in this.
Thank you so much. I'm writing my masters theses.
Thank you Dr. Lentz.
Thank you very much, this was very clear and helpful. :)
