Grammar in Context
uSE THE ACTIvE vOICEVerbs can be in the active voice or the passive voice. In a sentence that uses the active voice, the subject performs the verb’s action. In a sentence that uses the passive voice, the subject receives the verb’s action. In general, the active voice is preferable to the passive voice because it is more direct.
Active: The highwayman loved Bess, the landlord’s black-eyed daughter. (The subject highwayman performs the action of the verb loved.)
Passive: Bess, the landlord’s black-eyed daughter, was loved by the highwayman. (The subject Bess receives the actions of the verb phrase was loved.)
Directions: Rewrite each of the following sentences by using the active voice. 1. Bess was taken prisoner by some soldiers.
2. She was being used by the soldiers to lure the Highwayman.
3. The musket was fired by Bess to warn the Highwayman.
4. The shot was heard by the Highwayman.
5. The Highwayman was shot by the soldiers.

Lesson Generalization: Greek combining forms (GCF) are wordelements that, unlike prefixes and suffixes, can be added to either the beginning orthe end of other word elements. GCF may be joined in the same way that the twoparts of a compound word are joined. Knowing the meaning of the separate partswill help in understanding the words. The spelling of the GCF may change slightlywhen it is joined to other word parts.
The noun suffix ant forms the noun hydrant (hydro + ant).
The adjective suffix ic forms the adjective psychic (psycho + ic).
GCF joined like a compound word: patriarch / archeology
logi is a prefix logy is a suffix
A.
1. The Greek combining forms in the first column become English nouns or adjectives when suffixes areadded. Write the words from the second column that are made up of a Greek combining form and asuffix. Underline the combining form in each word, and circle those words whose combining formchanges spelling when the suffix is added.
____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________
____________________
2. The words in the third column are formed by joining two Greek combining words. Write each word.Then, for each word, underline the combining form that is common to that in the first and secondcolumn. Finally, circle those words whose combining form changes spelling when joined to anothercombining form.
____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________

B. On a separate sheet of paper, write the spelling words and a brief definition for each.Look up the words in your dictionary and note the meanings of the combining forms.
