‎HAPPY GRAMMAR - FRIDAY!!

Active Voice vs. Passive Voice

One important aspect of grammar is knowing when to use active voice and passive voice. Both are correct, but they create different tones in writing.

Active Voice – the subject performs the action.

Examples:
• The teacher explained the lesson.
• Maria baked a cake.

Passive Voice – the subject receives the action.

Examples:
• The lesson was explained by the teacher.
• A cake was baked by Maria.

Quick Tip: Use active voice for clearer and stronger sentences. Passive voice is useful when the doer of the action is unknown or less important.

Let’s Compare:
• Active: The police arrested the thief. (clear and direct)
• Passive: The thief was arrested. (focuses on the thief, not the police)

Mastering this difference will help you write with more precision and style.
