Passive Voice:

• Many languages use grammatical voice constructions known as the passive voice.
• The grammatical subject in a phrase with passive voice communicates the topic or patient of the primary verb, that is, the individual or object that is subjected to the action or has its status altered.
• In contrast, the subject plays the role of the agent in active voice.
• For instance, the subject (the tree) indicates the patient rather than the actor's actor in the passive phrase "The tree was dragged down." The statements "The tree is fallen" and "Someone knocked down the tree" are active phrases in contrast.

Active Voice:

• Many languages throughout the world use the grammatical construction known as the active voice.
• In nominative-accusative languages, including English and the majority of other Indo-European languages, it is the unmarked voice for sentences containing a transitive verb.
• When the subject of the verb performs the action stated, the verb is often in the active voice in these languages.
• When the subject of a phrase represents the agent of the primary verb, the active voice is utilized.
• In other words, the subject carries out the verb's specified action.
