*ACTIVE vs. PASSIVE*

Write two sentences using the verb beat.

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

Active voice: The guy in red shirt beat the other guy who was cussing at him.
Passive voice: The guy who was cussing at others at the train station was beat badly by another guy.

Good try, Zhen. But note that the passive voice requires the past particle form ("beaten").
