Active Voice and Passive Voice of the Verb
1. Most transitive verbs (verbs that take an object) can be used in both active and passive voice.
A form of the verb be is always used in passive sentences.
Example: The bag contained three books. (active) –when the subject performs the action
Three books were contained in the bag (passive) –when the subject is acted upon by
the object of the verb.
2. The voice of the verb does not normally affect the meaning of a sentence but it does change
the focus. In the active voice, the focus is on the doer of the actions. To shift the focus to the
receiver of the action, use the passive voice.
Example: The dog bit the mailman. (active)
