Why study voice?
In English, voice is used to tell whether the subject of the sentence performs the action of the verb (i.e. is the doer), or receives it. This kind of contrast is represented in either of two ways.
As shown in the diagram, the first type of construction is known as the active voice. The second is the passive voice. Note the changes in the clause structure and verb forms, as voice changes.
Modified from: Crystal, D. (2003). Rediscover grammar. (3rd ed.). UK: Peason, p96.
The main problems in the use of voice relate to the following:
when to use the active or passive voice
how to construct passive forms correctly
In most academic writing, both active and passive are used. The important thing is NOT to move from active to passive randomly. When you use active or passive voice depends on where you want to put the focus: on the doer or performer of the action OR the result or receiver of the action. For example, both these statements are correct:
Albert Einstein laid the foundations of two fundamental theories of the twentieth century: relativity and quantum theory. [active]
The foundations of two fundamental theories of the twentieth century, relativity and quantum theory, were laid by Albert Einstein. [passive]
Study the use of both active and passive voice in an extended text:
Robots are used (passive) extensively in industrial engineering. They allow (active) businesses to save money on labour and to ensure better quality. Many companies employ (active) assembly lines of robots, and some factories are so robotised that they can run(active) by themselves. Outside the factory, robots have been employed (passive) in bomb disposal, space exploration, and many other fields. Robots are sold (passive) for various residential applications.
