Takeaways from this Page

Practising active and passive voice helps you improve your writing skills. In the active voice, the subject performs the action, making sentences direct and clear. For example, "The teacher explains the lesson." This style is usually more straightforward and easier to understand.

In the passive voice, the action is emphasised, and the subject receiving the action comes first. For instance, "The lesson is explained by the teacher." This is useful when you want to focus on the action or when the doer is unknown.

By practising these exercises, you learn how to choose the right voice for different situations. Understanding the concept behind both voices allows you to write more effectively, making your sentences clearer and more impactful. Regular practice will help you use both active and passive voice correctly and creatively in your writing.
