Passive Voice
The passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the action (the verb) and the object of a sentence rather than subject. This means that the subject is either less important than the action itself or that we don’t know who or what the subject is

Active VoiceThe active voice is the "default" voice in English. All intransitive verbs can only be in the active voice, and all transitive verbs usually are active voice - unless we deliberately make them passive.In spoken English, we almost always use active voice. It is the natural choice, more precise and generally shorter.The active voice is:direct and specificuses fewer words - always a good thingdynamic
