These paragraphs can be ordered as causes and effects or as effects and then causes. The cause and effect text structure is generally used in expository and persuasive writing modes. To put it another way: when an author gives reasons why something happened, he or she is explaining what caused an effect (reasons are causes and the thing that happens is the effect). Also, when a writer explains the results of an action, he or she is explaining the effects of a cause (results are effects and the thing that occurs is the cause). The cause and effect text structure is used so commonly that you have probably written a paragraph using it and not noticed. Identifying a text written using the cause and effect pattern of organization can be tricky. In most stories, events in the plot occur for various reason...

PASSIVE VOICE

Image
Passive Voice What is the passive voice? In general we tend to use the active voice. That is when a subject does an action to an object.    ■ Definition of Passive Voice A passive voice is a type of a clause or sentence in which an action (through verb), or an object of a sentence, is emphasized rather than its subject. Simply, the subject receives the action of the verb. The emphasis or focus is on the action, while the subject is not known or is less important. ■ Example Somebody stole my laptop. (subject = Somebody / action(verb) = stole / object = my laptop) The passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the action (the verb) and the object of a sentence rather than subject. This means that the subject is either less important than the action itself or that we don’t know who or what the subject is. My laptop was stolen. (The object – now the subject = My laptop / action= was stolen) Passive: Napa Valley is known  for its excellent wines. Active: ...
