ACTIVE VOICE
An active voice is a type of a clause or sentence in

which a subject performs an action and
expresses it through its representative verb.
To simply put it, when a subject performs an
action directly, it is in active voice. It then uses
transitive verb to show the action.
S+VERBS+OBJ
EXAMPLE:
PASSIVE VOICE
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 however,
who or what is performing the action.
The basic structure of a passive voice is a very
simple:
S+AUXILIARY VERBS+V3+BY+THE
AGENT/THE DOER
