*ACTIVE vs. PASSIVE*

Write two sentences using the word steal.

In the first sentence, use the word in the active voice; in the second sentence, use it in the passive voice.

Good try, Annie. You got the passive voice. But you didn't use "steal" in the passive. You used "see" instead.

Consider: "Money was being stolen from her purse."
