Voice is the form a verb takes to indicate whether the subject of the verb performs or receives
the action.There are two types of voice: active voice and passive voice.
Active Voice
Active voice is used to show that the subject of the sentence is performing or causing the
action.
Example:
Passive Voice
Passive voice is used when the subject is the recipient of the action.
Example:
Passive voice is like watching gum stuck on the bleachers in the stands.
For example, a politician might say, “The mistake was made by someone.” Hiding the subject
helps him/her hide the blame.
For example, a cheating boyfriend might say, “Cheating was committed by me.”
When passive voice better emphasizes the main point of the message, such as “Children were
harmed by the drunk driver.”
The passive voice requires a "double verb" and will always consist of a form of the verb "to be"
and the past participle (usually the "en/ed/t" form) of another verb.
Example:
Passive: The bread was baked by John. (Was is a form of the verb “be”.)
Writers should be familiar with the forms of "to be" , often called linking verbs, so that they can
easily identify the passive voice in their work.
Review the forms of "to be": am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been
Note the forms of "to be" in the examples of the verb "to kick" in various forms of the passive
voice:

Let’s Practice
5.The house had been broken into by someone while the owners were on vacation.
Last summer our house was painted by me. First, the exterior was washed using warm water
and a mild detergent. Then all of the chinks in the walls were sealed with putty. After the putty
had had a chance to dry, the exterior could be painted. A latex paint was used because it is
easy to apply and cleans up with water. A whole week was needed to finish this part of the job.
A color was used that was very close to the original color. When the job was finished, a great
deal of satisfaction was felt by me. Even my dad said that a good job was done.
