Active & Passive verb Voice | Week 3 | Grade 8
Active vs. Passive Voice GRAMMAR Active voice means that a sentence has a subject that acts upon its verb . Passive voice means that a subject is a r ecipient of a verb’s action. Some writers may say that the passive voice is weak and incorrect, but it isn’t that simple. When used correctly and in moderation, the passive voice is fine. In English grammar, verbs have five properties: voice, mood, tense, person, and number; here, we are concerned with voice . The two grammatical voices are active and passive.
