What is active and possive voice?

Answer 1

I'll start with active voice because it's simpler. In an active sentence, the subject is doing the action. A straightforward example is the sentence "Steve loves Amy." Steve is the subject, and he is doing the action: he loves Amy, the object of the sentence. In passive voice, the target of the action gets promoted to the subject position. Instead of saying, "Steve loves Amy," I would say, "Amy is loved by Steve." The subject of the sentence becomes Amy, but she isn't doing anything. Rather, she is just the recipient of Steve's love. The focus of the sentence has changed from Steve to Amy. Also note the "is" you will see a lot of that in the passive.

Overall the active voice is better to use in writing and speeches

Answer 2

Active voice is when the subject of a sentence performs the action. For example, "The dog chased the cat." Passive voice is when the subject of a sentence receives the action. For example, "The cat was chased by the dog."
