Title: Passive Voice / Introduction to Passive Voice

Q: In a Passive Voice sentence, there is the subject and the object. The subject [...] and the object [...].
Active voice means the subject is doing the action.
         e.g. "Sam kicked the ball." Here, Sam is the subject. Sam did the kicking.
Passive voice means the object receives the action. The subject doesn't do the action.
         e.g. "The ball was kicked."
Here, the ball is the subject. It received the kicking. We don't know who did the kicking.
To make a sentence passive, we use "to be" verbs like "is", "are", "was", "were" along with the past participle of the main verb.
A: does the action; receives the action
Back Extra: Some key things about passive voice:
- It doesn't show who is doing the action clearly.
- It focuses more on the object/receiver of the action.
- It is useful when the doer is unknown, not important, or to avoid blame.
- Active voice makes sentences clearer usually, but passive voice has its uses too.
So in summary, passive voice changes who the subject and object are in a sentence compared to active voice. It shifts the focus to what receives the action rather than who does it.
