Best Answer

Active voice means putting the actor with the action.

Passive voice: The man was stung by a bee. (The word "by" is a clue that it is passive.)

Active voice: A bee stung the man. (The bee is the actor-- a bee stings.)

Passive voice: The phone bill was paid by me.

Active voice: I paid the phone bill.

Active voice is natural, direct, but makes the actor do the action which makes the sense clear.
