The voice of a verb expresses whether the subject in the sentence has performed or received the action. There are two types of voices:
1) Active Voice
2) Passive Voice.
- Active Voice:- It is the form of the verb which means the action is performed by the subject in a sentence.

- But in this sentence, the the subject receives the action of the verb.
