In other words, the subject performs the action or acts upon the verb.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Oxford Learner\u2019s Dictionary, the active voice is defined as \u201cthe form of a verb in which the subject is the person or thing that performs the action\u201d, and according to the Collins Dictionary, the active voice is defined as \u201ca voice of verbs used to indicate that the subject of a sentence is performing the action or causing the event or process described by the verb.\u201d<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #008000;\">What is the Passive Voice? \u2013 Meaning and Definition<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The passive voice, on the other hand, represents that the subject is one acted upon by the action or verb in the sentence. It can also be said that the passive voice indicates that the subject in the sentence is no longer active but passive.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Oxford Learner\u2019s Dictionary, the passive voice is defined as \u201cthe form of a verb used when the subject is affected by the action of the verb\u201d, and according to the Collins Dictionary, the passive voice is \u201cformed using \u2018be\u2019 and the past <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">participle<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of a verb.

In the English language, the active voice is used generally as they give the information in a direct and clear manner. Make sure you do not use the passive voice just because you think it sounds better. Use it only if it is necessary. Remember that the active voice has the subject doing the action and the passive voice has the subject receiving the action. If you want to communicate your thoughts and ideas clearly and effectively, especially in a professional setup, it would be best to use the active voice.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pro tip for you to master the active voice and the passive voice is to know the structure and formula by which they work.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Active Voice \u2013 Subject + Verb + Object<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passive Voice \u2013 Object + Verb + Subject<\/span><\/i><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difference between the Active Voice and the Passive Voice<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Analysing the difference between the active voice and the passive voice is what will help you in a much better way to learn how to use the two voices effectively.

In other words, the subject performs the action or acts upon the verb.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the passive voice?<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The passive voice, on the other hand, denotes that the subject is acted upon by the action or verb in the sentence. It can also be said that the passive voice indicates that the subject in the sentence is no longer active but passive.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the definition of the active voice?<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Oxford Learner\u2019s Dictionary, the active voice is defined as \u201cthe form of a verb in which the subject is the person or thing that performs the action\u201d, and according to the Collins Dictionary, the active voice is defined as \u201ca voice of verbs used to indicate that the subject of a sentence is performing the action or causing the event or process described by the verb.\u201d<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the definition of the passive voice?<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Oxford Learner\u2019s Dictionary, the passive voice is defined as \u201cthe form of a verb used when the subject is affected by the action of the verb\u201d, and according to the Collins Dictionary, the passive voice is \u201cformed using \u2018be\u2019 and the past participle of a verb. The subject of a passive clause does not perform the action expressed by the verb but is affected by it.\u201d<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give some examples of active voice and passive voice.<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given below are some examples of active and passive voice for your reference.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br
