Active voice is defined as a grammatical structure in which the subject performs the action named by the verb. In sentences written in active voice, the subject is the doer of the action, making the sentence more direct and dynamic. For example, in the sentence "The cat chased the mouse," the subject (the cat) is actively performing the action (chased).
