• What is Voice of a verb?

The voice of a verb expresses whether the subject in the sentence has performed or received the action. There are two types of voices in English:

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.
• Eg: The author wrote several books.
• In this example sentence, the subject performs the action. Now let's see about passive voice and point the difference between these voices.

• Passive Voice:- Here, the action of the verb is done to the subject from/by the object in a sentence.
• Eg: Several books were written by the author.
• But in this example sentence, the the subject receives the action of the verb.
