Active and passive Voice

1. Active voice means that a sentence has a subject that acts upon its verb

2. Passive voice means that a subject is a recipient of a verb’s action

3. When the subject of a sentence performs the verb’s action, we say that the sentence is in the active voice.

4. The passive voice is always constructed with a conjugated form of to be plus the verb’s past participle.

5. The passive voice is formed by using a form of the auxiliary verb “be” (be, am, is, are, was,

6. were, being, been) followed by the past participle of the main verb.

7. Rules:The subject should become the object and vice-e-versa while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice or reverse.
