A passive noun is a noun that is not actively performing an action in a sentence but is instead receiving the action. It indicates the recipient or target of an action rather than the doer. For example, in the sentence "The cake was eaten by the children," "cake" is a passive noun as it is being acted upon.
Yes, both transitive active and passive verbs have a subject or object as the action receiver. The only difference is that transitive passive has a subject receiving action while the transitive active has an object receiving action.
The classes of verbs are not "action and passive".The classes are "action" (doing) verbs and linking verbs (is, seemed, became).The voices of verbs are activevoice and passive voice - in active voice, the subject does the action; in passive voice, the subject receives the action, as the object of the verb.Active : He threw the ball.Passive: The ball was thrown by him.Danced is the past tense of dance, which is an action verb. To use a passive voice, you would have to have an object.Active voice : The performers danced the minuet.Passive Voice: The minuet was danced by the performers.
Active: She hits the table. 'She' is the subject and is doing the action. Passive: The table is hit by her. 'She' (or 'her' in this case) is doing the action but is not the subject.
Yes.

All verb can be passive. It depends on how they are used in a sentence. A passive verb is one that does not assign its action to a subject. Not a passive sentence. John loved Alice A passive sentence. Alice was loved.
Active voice is when the subject of a sentence does the action. Passive voice is when the subject of a sentence receives the action. A sentence that has passive voice usually has the word by in it and the verb has a form of be in it and is in the past tense.

Active voice is when the subject of a sentence performs the action, while passive voice is when the subject receives the action. In active voice, the sentence is structured subject-verb-object, whereas in passive voice, the sentence is structured object-verb-subject. Active voice is more direct and concise, while passive voice can be used to focus on the receiver of the action or when the doer is unknown or less important.
