In active voice, the subject of the sentence usually comes first and is doing the action to something else. In passive voice, the predicate is being acted upon by the subject. Passive voice tends to be harder to read , and it tends to use more words. So for the most part, you should avoid using passive voice.

Active voice is when the subject performs the action stated by the verb ("The teacher graded the papers"). Passive voice is when the subject is acted upon by the verb ("The papers were graded by the teacher"). Converting from active to passive voice involves making the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence and using a form of "to be" + the past participle of the main verb.

The passive form of the verb phrase follows this pattern:be + past participlefor example: is used / was wanted / is being builtPassive is the opposite of active. In most sentences/clauses the subject refers to the doer or actor of the action of the verb.Eg. The cat chased the mouse. The cat is the subject or the doer of the verb, chase (active).But the passive form allows us to put someone or something that is not the actor first in the position of the subject.Eg. The mouse was chased by the cat.Example:Active - We keep the sugar in the cupboard.To change this active sentence into passive the object (sugar) goes before the verb (object position).The sugar...Then the verb keep becomes be + past participle. Because the sentence is present the be verb is 'is'. The past participle of keep is keptThe sugar is keptThe phrase in the cupboard remains unchanged =The sugar is kept in the cupboard. (If you want to say who does this action then add 'by us')The sugar is kept in the cupboard by us
