When a sentence is written in active voice is the subject acted upon by the direct subject or by an unknown agent?
In an active voice sentence, the subject performs the action and the object receives the action.
- Karissa washed the dishes. <-- Active voice. Karissais the subject, washed is the verb, dishes is the object.
Passive voice sentences have two constructions. In the first one, the subject is acted upon by the verb.
- The dishes were washed by Karissa. <-- Passive voice. The object (dishes) has been put in the subject position, and the subject (Karissa) has been put in the object position. Notice that the verb has changed. A form of "to be" and a past participle is needed to create the passive voice.
In the next passive voice sentence, the subject will be left out of the sentence.
- The dishes were washed. <-- Passive voice. Typically, this is done when the agent is unknown or unimportant.
