Active sentences are subject + verb + object. The show the doer (subject ) of the verb.
eg The dog chased the cat.
Passive sentences are not s + v+ o.
eg The cat was chased. (past simple passive)
Passive sentences have the verb form - be+past participle eg was chased
Another example The cake has been eaten. (present perfect passive).
If you want to show who did the action in a passive sentence then add - by+noun or noun phrase.
eg The cat was chased by the dog.
Verbs in active voice focus on the subject performing the action, while verbs in passive voice focus on the action being done to the subject. In active voice, the subject of the sentence is doing the action, while in passive voice, the subject is receiving the action.
Active verbs show the subject performing the action, such as "she runs," while passive verbs show the subject receiving the action, such as "the book was read by her." Active verbs are typically more direct and engaging, while passive verbs can be useful for emphasizing the object or when the subject is unknown or unimportant.
Passive verbs are a type of verb that are not active. They show that the subject of the sentence is being acted upon rather than doing the action.
A false statement about passive voice verbs is that they are always longer and more complex than active voice verbs. In reality, the complexity of a sentence can depend on various factors beyond just the use of passive voice.
Agreement is a concept related to grammar and language structure, and is neither active nor passive voice. In grammar, active voice is when the subject of a sentence performs the action, while passive voice is when the subject receives the action of the verb. Agreement refers to the relationship between different parts of a sentence, such as subject-verb agreement or pronoun-antecedent agreement.
In active voice, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb (e.g., "The dog chased the cat"). In passive voice, the subject receives the action denoted by the verb, with the object of the active sentence becoming the subject of the passive sentence (e.g., "The cat was chased by the dog").

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.
This is done by active verbs.
Active verbs show the subject performing the action, such as "she runs," while passive verbs show the subject receiving the action, such as "the book was read by her." Active verbs are typically more direct and engaging, while passive verbs can be useful for emphasizing the object or when the subject is unknown or unimportant.
There is no such classification of adverbs. The terms active and passive are the two "voices" in which verbs appear.
A false statement about passive voice verbs is that they are always longer and more complex than active voice verbs. In reality, the complexity of a sentence can depend on various factors beyond just the use of passive voice.
In active voice, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb (e.g., "The dog chased the cat"). In passive voice, the subject receives the action denoted by the verb, with the object of the active sentence becoming the subject of the passive sentence (e.g., "The cat was chased by the dog").
"Voice," as it applies to verbs, denotes whether the verbs used are active or passive. Active verbs are verbs that show action, i.e., "He climbed the stairs," "She bought dinner," etc.
Examples of passive verbs include was, were, are, and other forms of be, and has had, have with linking be verbs.Examples of active verbs (there are thousands so this is a short list):atebaitedsangtalkedwalkedvented
