1. Active Voice
The active voice is the normal voice. This is the voice that we use
most of the time. You are probably already familiar with the active voice.
In the active voice, the object receives the action of the verbs.
2. Passive Voice
The passive voice is less usual. In the passive voice the subject
receives the action of the verbs. The object of the active verb becomes
the subject of the passive verb.
