What is Passive Voice?
Passive voice is a grammatical construction in which the subject of the sentence is not the doer of the action, but rather the recipient of the action.
In passive voice sentences, the focus is on the action being performed and the person or thing affected by the action, rather than the person or thing performing the action.
For example, “The ball was kicked by the boy” is written in passive voice, while “The boy kicked the ball” is written in active voice.
In passive voice, the object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence.
This type of construction is used to emphasize the action being performed or the result, rather than the person or thing performing the action.
What is Active Voice?
Active voice is a writing style in which the subject of a sentence performs the action described by the verb. In an active voice sentence, the subject is typically the doer of the action, and the verb describes what the subject does.
For example, “The cat chased the mouse,” is an active voice sentence because the subject “cat” is the one performing the action of chasing.
The active voice emphasizes the subject and makes the sentence clear, direct, and concise. In contrast, the passive voice focuses on the action and its effects, rather than on the doer of the action.
