Passive Exercise 1

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Sam really likes coffee, but it's unclear whether Sam drinks the coffee or if the coffee is drunk by Sam. Move from active to passive voice in 12 sentences about Sam's coffee habits. Learners will have to change an irregular verb to the passive voice in every different tense. Surprisingly tricky practice that will bring up many questions about conjugation.
