Introduction to Active and Passive Voice

In English, sentences can be written in two ways: active voice and passive voice. In an active voice sentence, the subject performs the action. For example, 'The cat chased the mouse.' In a passive voice sentence, the subject receives the action. For example, 'The mouse was chased by the cat.' Understanding the difference helps in making your writing clear and engaging.
