How do you avoid in writing in passive voice?

Answer 1

Mike was walking to the store. - This is an active past continuous sentence.

Mike walked to the store. - This is an active past simple sentence

Mike walks to the store. - This is an active present simple sentence,

See how the passive becomes the active, and the sentence is set in the present tense and thus more "assertive" or "active" if you will.

Active sentences tell who does the action of the verb at the beginning of the sentence:

The cat chased the mouse. ( the cat does the action - chase)

Passive sentences don't have to say who does the action:

The mouse was chased.

If you want to say who does the action you can add by the cat at the end of the sentence:

The mouse was chased by the cat.

Answer 2

To avoid writing in the passive voice, focus on using active voice by ensuring the subject of the sentence performs the action. Look for instances where the sentence structure could be rearranged to make the subject the doer of the action. Additionally, pay attention to the forms of "be" verbs (such as "is," "are," "was," "were") and try to rephrase sentences to eliminate them.
