Yes — the sentence Goose feathers are used to fill blankets and pillows. is grammatically correct.

Here is why, in simple steps:

  • Subject and verb match: "Goose feathers" is plural, and the verb "are" is the correct plural form. That means they agree.
  • Good word order: The sentence says what happens: the feathers (subject) are used (verb) to fill (purpose) blankets and pillows (objects).
  • Passive voice: This sentence is in the passive voice, which means it tells what is done (feathers are used) but not who does it. That is okay here.
  • Punctuation and capitalization: The period at the end is correct. If the sentence is in the middle of a sentence, write "goose" in lowercase; at the start it is capitalized.

If you want to say it a different way, here are two simple alternatives:

  • Active voice (tells who does it): People use goose feathers to fill blankets and pillows.
  • Another passive way: Blankets and pillows are filled with goose feathers.

All three sentences mean the same thing and are correct. Great job!
