Active vs Passive Voice in Writing 🖊️ | Essential English Grammar Lesson

Learn the difference between active vs passive voice in writing in English. When do we use the active voice, and when do we use the passive voice? This is an essential grammar lesson for anyone wanting to improve their level of English. 🖊️ Active voice emphasizes the doer of the action, while passive voice emphasizes the recipient of the action. Let's look at these two examples: • Active: The dog chased the cat. • Passive: The cat was chased by the dog. Both sentences convey the same action but shift the focus. In the active voice example, the dog is the subject. In the passive voice example, the cat is the subject. In this lesson, you'll learn the difference between these voices, why you might use one over the other, and how to convert sentences from active to passive in different verb tenses. 📝 At the end of this lesson, there will be a short quiz to test your knowledge!
