What is Active and Passive voice.
❉ ACTIVE VOICE:-
The verb that expresses that the action is carried out by the subject is said to be in the active voice. The active voice is used when the agent or the doer is to be made prominent.
However, in some sentences, the subject receives the action of the verb.
For example,
1). Fish are eaten by cats.
(Here, fish is subject and cats is object.)
2). The letter was posted by John.
(Here, letter is subject and John is object.)
⠀
❉ PASSIVE VOICE:-
The verb that expresses what is done to the subject is said to be in the passive voice.
⠀
❉ VOICES:-
Voice is that form of the verb which indicates whether the subject is the doer of the action or something is being done to it.
⠀
Have a look in these examples:-
• The captain called the players. (active)
The players were called by the captain. (passive)
• He is painting a portrait. (active)
A portrait is being painted by him. (passive)

✦ The positions of the subject and the object of the verb are interchanged. The subject of the verb in the active voice is made the object of the verb in the passive voice.
✦In the passive voice, the preposition by is added before the object.
✦The number of the verb is changed according to the number and person of the subject.
Voice refers to the form of a verb that indicates when a grammatical subject performs the action
or is the receiver of the action. When a sentence is written in the active voice, the subject
performs the action; in the passive voice, the subject receives the action. In academic writing, it
is generally preferred to choose an active verb and pair it with a subject that names the person or
thing doing or performing the action. Active verbs are stronger and usually more emphatic than
forms of the verb “be” or verbs in the passive voice.
Active: The award-winning chef prepares each meal with loving care.
Passive: Each meal is prepared with loving care by the award-winning chef.
