Understanding the difference between passive and active voice is quite simple. You will remember the difference between these two if you remember that :
- In sentences written in active voice, the verb is acted on, and
-sentences written in passive voice, the subject receives the action.
Here are two examples of sentences written in active voice:
1. The dog bit the boy.
2.Michelle will present her research at the conference.
