By using active voice.
Active sentences tell who does the action of the verb at the beginning of the sentence:
The cat chased the mouse. ( the cat does the action - chase)
Passive sentence don't have to say who does the action:
The mouse was chased.
If you want to say who does the action you can add by the cat at the end of the sentence:
The mouse was chased by the cat.
