Active sentence: The park ranger could not find any endangered animals in the lorry. Passive sentence: No animals could be found in the lorry by the park ranger. HINT: Use of the word "by" is always a tip off that a sentence is passive. HINT 2: The noun that appears after "by" in any passive sentence can be flipped to the front of the sentence and made into the subject; all passive sentences can be flipped to be active sentences. It often takes thought and re-wording to switch passive to active.
Examples of sentences that start with "do" are: Do you want to go to the park? Do you have any plans for the weekend? Examples of sentences that start with "does" are: Does he know how to speak Spanish? Does she like to read books?
It is all a matter of grammatics.Technically speaking, "Don't talk to her." is more direct and is the proper way to command someone to not talk to any one."Don't be talking to her." is passive.

Any time the verb is a form of "to be", it is passive voice. The passive verbs include: is, are, were, be, being, been, have, had Additionally, one clue to passive sentences is when the verb is followed by "by". " Example: The accidents are witnessed by other motorists every day." Sometimes, passive sentences are perfectly okay to use when the "actor" (who is doing the action) is unimportant. But too many passive sentences make reading boring, and passive makes longer sentences. Example, passive Every day, accidents are witnessed by other motorists. Records of accidents are kept by local police departments and statistics are compiled by State agencies and by insurance companies. As determined by authorities, most accidents are caused by people who are inattentive or distracted. Example, active. Other motorists witness accidents every day. Local police departments keep records, which State agencies and insurance companies use to create statistics. These authorities determined that inattentive or distracted drivers cause the most accidents. Note that the both examples say the same thing but the noun is followed by an active verb (witness; keep; use; determined). Also note that the passive example is longer than the active example. The active example uses fewer words, is easier to read, and still makes the same points.
