Answer 1

Sure! Here’s a comparison of when to use active voice versus passive voice in a sentence:

Active Voice:

• When the subject of the sentence performs the action (the doer is clear).
• To create a more direct and vigorous style.
• When clarity and brevity are desired.
• In most academic and formal writing where clear communication is important.

Passive Voice:

• When the focus is on the action or the recipient of the action rather than who performed it.
• When the doer is unknown or irrelevant to the context.
• To emphasize the action itself or its impact rather than the actor.
• In contexts where the writer wants to be vague about the subject or avoid assigning blame.
