The sentence is written in the present perfect tense. It is active voice because Rocky (the subject) has done something.

If you write "The picture was taken by Rocky" that would be passive voice.

"I threw the ball" is a sentence in the active voice. "The ball was thrown by me" is in the passive voice. In Political language, you will often encounter the passive voice. Rather than saying "I made a mistake," you might hear the politician say "Mistakes were made."Passive is formed with - be verb + past participle. If you want to say who does the action of a passive verb add by + noun phrase at the end of the sentence. This is called the agent.For example:present simple active = eat / asks. passive = is eaten / is askedWe eat bread at lunch time = Bread is eaten at lunch time (by us)past simple active = ate /asked. passive = was eaten / was askedWe ate bread at lunch time. Bread was eaten at lunch time.Passive is often used to describe a process where it is not important who or what does the action for example:The tea leaves are picked in the morning and they are taken to the drying sheds. After it is processed the tea is stored in large warehouses.

Five children were taken to the zoo is that passive or active voice?

Passive. The subject, "children," is not doing the action. Also, a sentence is passive when a form of the verb "to be" is followed by a past participle- in this sentence it is "were taken." To make the sentence active, it would have to state "Five children went to the zoo" or "Someone took five children to the zoo."

Differentiate between active voice and passive voice?

In the active voice, the subject is the person or thing that does the action, for example 'the cat went home'. In the passive voice, the subject doesn't do the action. For example, 'the cat was taken home'. In 'the cat went home', we know who went home - it's the cat. In 'the cat was taken home', we don't know who took the cat home. So we use the passive if we don't know or don't care who does the action.
