Active voice is a grammatical voice that indicates that the subject of a sentence is performing the action expressed by the verb. In active voice sentences, the subject of the sentence is the doer of the action. For example:
John kicked the ball.
In this sentence, "John" is the subject and "kicked" is the verb. The subject is performing the action.
Passive voice is a grammatical voice that indicates that the subject of a sentence is receiving the action expressed by the verb. In passive voice sentences, the subject of the sentence is the receiver of the action rather than the doer. The passive voice is formed by using the verb 'to be' + past participle of the main verb. For example:
The ball was kicked by John.
In this sentence, "ball" is the subject and "was kicked" is the verb. The subject is receiving the action, instead of doing it.
Active voice is generally considered to be more direct, clear, and concise than passive voice. Passive voice can make sentences less clear and more wordy, and it can also be used to avoid responsibility or accountability for the action. In most cases, using active voice makes for more engaging and easier to understand sentences.
