1. **Active voice** is a grammatical structure in which the subject of the sentence performs the action of the verb. In an active voice sentence, the subject comes first, followed by the verb and then the object. For example, "The cat (subject) chased (verb) the mouse (object)."
2. **Passive voice** is a grammatical structure in which the subject of the sentence receives the action of the verb rather than performing it. In a passive voice sentence, the object of the action becomes the subject of the sentence. For example, "The mouse (subject) was chased (verb) by the cat (agent)."
3. **Active** voice is recommended most of the time because it's more **direct** and **engaging**.
4. It can be useful to use passive voice in the following situations:
- When the doer of the action is unknown or irrelevant: "The cookies were eaten."
- When the focus needs to be on the action or the recipient of the action rather than the subject: "The project was completed on time."
- In formal or scientific writing, where the emphasis is often on the process or results: "The experiment was conducted under controlled conditions."
- When the subject needs to be de-emphasized: "Mistakes were made." (without specifying who made them)
- In situations that require a more objective tone: "A decision was reached by the committee."
