ACTIVE and PASSIVE VOICE

The 'voice' of a verb shows if the action is done by the subject, or whether the subject has the action done to it by someone or something else. The subject is a noun, pronoun or noun phrase which the sentence may be about.

There are 2 voices:

Active: the subject performs the action

Passive: The subject has the action done to it by someone or something else (although the sentence may not always say who or what does the action)
