Is it appropriate to use passive voice in this sentence and why The window was broken last night when no one was home?
This use of passive voice is appropriate because the identity of the performer is unknown (or concealed) . IF the actor is known, it would be best to use active voice. The boy broke the window last night when no one was home. The drifter broke the window last night when no one was home. NOTE 1: The word "by" is often a clue to a passive sentence, along with helping verbs of the "be" variety (is, was, were, has, have, had, etc.). NOTE 2: When you create active sentences, it makes sentences shorter--a good thing! So always try to put the actor FIRST, with an active verb.
