Active voice is when the subject of a sentence performs the action, while passive voice is when the subject receives the action. Active voice is usually more direct and engaging, while passive voice can make writing sound more formal or distant.
Passive voice is when the subject has the action done to them. Hold on... that doesn't make too much sense. Here's an example. Passive voice: "The car is being cleaned by the volunteers." Active voice: "The volunteers clean the car." Passive voice is when the subject receives the action. Active voice is the subject doing the action.

In this sentence, the subject is "gardener" and the object is 'garden."

The ball was thrown by Jake. Voilà! Two passive voice sentences.
