Active voice

In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject


performs the action denoted by the verb

the subject is doing the verb's action.

Marilyn mailed the letter.


She will accept the offer.
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

Passive
