active
In the active-voice sentence "I should kill you," the receiver follows the verb. In the passive-voice sentence "You should be killed," the receiver precedes the verb. The difference between active and passive voice is merely the presence of the actor. In passive voice, the actor disappears.
Well, active voice is when the subject of the sentence is directly stated to be doing the action. Like, "the lightning struck the tree" is active voice because the lightning is the subject and is at the beginning of the sentence and followed directly by the verb struck. Passive voice (the opposite) of this sentence would be "the tree was struck by lightning" lightning is still the subject and still doing the verb, struck, but it is not at the beginning of the sentence and directly followed by the verb. So maybe the active voice verb is the verb that the active subject is performing?
active, we can see who did the action of the verb drove = Ted's mother.If the sentence was passive it would be: The boys were driven to the mall.
In the active voice the subject of the sentence is the 'doer' of the action of the verb. In the passive voice the subject of the sentence is the 'recipient' of the action of the verb. 'The girl drank the lemonade' (active). 'The lemonade was drunk by the girl' (passive).

To change an active voice sentence to passive voice, move the object of the active sentence to the beginning of the passive sentence and include the appropriate form of the verb "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb to create the passive construction. For example, "The company launched a new product" in active voice becomes "A new product was launched by the company" in passive voice.
