"When a sentence uses the active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action of the verb."
Examples:
- Active: "The cat chased the mouse." (subject "the cat" performs the action)
- Passive: "The mouse was chased by the cat." (subject "the mouse" receives the action)
Use active voice for clearer, more direct writing; use passive when the actor is unknown, unimportant, or you want to emphasize the receiver.
