1. **Active Voice**: In active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action expressed by the verb. The structure typically follows the pattern: Subject + Verb + Object. For example, in the sentence "The cat (subject) chased (verb) the mouse (object)," the cat is doing the chasing.
2. **Passive Voice**: In passive voice, the subject of the sentence receives the action rather than performing it. The structure often follows the pattern: Subject + (form of "to be") + Past Participle + (by Agent). For example, in the sentence "The mouse (subject) was chased (verb) by the cat (agent)," the focus is on the mouse, which is receiving the action of being chased.
