When I wrote my essay and sent it through the CWE it showed me alot of passive voice. Can someone give me an examlpe of this and the right way to re-write so I can fix my mistakes.

Question

My example....
All factors needs to be looked into before closing schools.

Answer 1

This is a good site on active and passive voices. http://www.rhlschool.com/eng3n28.htm

Writing in passive voice is much less effective.
For active voice the action needs to move from the subject through the verb to an object. S -> O
In a passive voice the action moves from the verb back to the subject
S -> O
Example: The dog bit the boy
S <-
The boy was bitten by the dog

READ that. Let me repeat, read that. If you are writing passively as a habit, then print it out and put in front of your desk as a reminder.

Closing a school requires examining all factors beforehand.
