___________________

The Active voice describes a sentence where the subject performs the action stated by the verb.

Example:

• The dog chased the squirrel.

The Passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the action (the verb) and the object rather than the subject.

Example:

• The ball was kicked by Chester.
