Question

The active voice is used


To focus on the sentence subject


To focus on the sentence object

Answer 1

Active voice is used to focus on the sentence subject (the doer of the action).

Example:
- Active: "The chef cooked the meal." (focus on the chef)
- Passive: "The meal was cooked by the chef." (focus on the meal)

Use active for clarity and directness; use passive when you want to emphasize the receiver of the action or omit the actor.
