Active Voice The sentence’s subject acts on the action’s target. In passive Voice, the target of the action is the main focus, and the verb acts upon the subject.
Active voice describes a sentence where the subject is the doer of the action. The passive voice indicates that the subject in the sentence is no longer. One thing to note here is that no matter the sentence’s structure, the meaning of the sentence does not change. That’s an essential point to remember throughout this chapter. Keep it in mind. Let’s dive straight into the realm of Active and Passive.
