Sure! Here’s a comparison of when to use active voice and when to use passive voice:
Active Voice:
- Use when the subject of the sentence is performing the action.
- Gives clarity and directness to the writing.
- Often preferred in most types of writing, such as essays, reports, and stories.
Passive Voice:
- Use when the focus is on the action itself rather than who or what is performing it.
- Often used in scientific or formal writing where the doer is less important than the action or result.
- Can create a sense of objectivity or neutrality in the writing.
