Explanation:

Active Voice – indicates that the topic of the verb is acting because the topic does or "acts upon" the verb in such sentences, the sentences are said to be within the active.

• In a voice sentence, the topic and object flip-flop. The subject becomes the passive recipient of the action.  Because the topic is being "acted upon" (or is passive), such sentences are said to be within the passive.

• Active voice - past continuous ( was/were + V ing )

• Passive voice- past continuous ( was /were + being + verb in past form)
