Question

He finished the work soon

Answer 1

Answer:

Clearly it is in the active voice. The subject pronoun is the performer of the action. The verb is in the active voice. The object is the thing being acted upon.

In the passive voice, the object becomes the subject — a thing being acted upon, rather than the actor.

The former subject pronoun (the performer or actor) fades from the scene, either becoming the object of a prepositional phrase (by him), or disappearing altogether.

The active verb becomes passive, supporting the idea that the new subject (the work) is a thing being acted on, not an actor.

The work will be finished soon by him.

The work will be finished soon.
