Answer 1

To compare when to use active voice and passive voice, you might consider the following guidelines:

Active Voice:

• When the subject of the sentence performs the action (e.g., "The dog chased the ball.").
• When you want to emphasize the doer of the action.
• In sentences where clarity and directness are important.
• When writing for impact, such as in persuasive writing or narratives.

Passive Voice:

• When the subject of the sentence is acted upon by the verb (e.g., "The ball was chased by the dog.").
• When the doer of the action is unknown or irrelevant (e.g., "The window was broken.").
• When you want to emphasize the action or the recipient of the action rather than the doer.
• In formal or academic writing where the focus is on the process or the results rather than the individual actions.

You can drag and drop these points into their respective categories for your exam.
