Active vs Passive Voice Practice

Introduction

Active and passive voice change how we present information. Active highlights the doer (agent): “The committee approved the plan.” Passive highlights the action or receiver when the agent is unknown, unimportant, or intentionally omitted: “The plan was approved (by the committee).” Mastering both improves clarity, formality in writing, and task achievement in exams.
