When a writer does not know who performed the action in a sentence, the writer can still write a grammatically correct sentence by **using the passive voice**.
In passive voice constructions, the focus is on the action itself or the recipient of the action rather than the subject performing the action, which allows for situations where the performer is unknown or unimportant. For example, instead of saying "The committee approved the policy," which is active voice, one could say "The policy was approved," thus using passive voice.
