Active and passive voice :
An action of a subject in relation to an object is expressed in two ways. These two ways of expressing action of a subject is known as voices.
1. Active voice
2. Passive voice
Active voice:
The active voice describes a sentence where the subject performs the action stated by the verb. It follows a clear subject + verb + object construct that's easy to read.
Eg: I write a letter.
Passive voice:
With passive voice, the subject is acted upon by the verb.
Eg: A letter is written by me.
Change of active voice into passive voice:
| active | passive | |
|---|---|---|
| The hunter killed the lion. | >> | The lion was killed by the hunter. |
| Someone has cleaned the windows | >> | The windows have been cleaned |
