Active Voice
A verb is said to be in the Active Voice when the subject performs the action described by the verb.
Example:
Paul wrote a letter.
“Paul” is the subject. That is, the performer of the action “wrote”. “wrote” is the Active Voice since the subject of the verb “Paul” is doing the writing.
Passive Voice
When the object of a sentence takes the place of the subject and the subject is placed in the position of the object while the verb “be” is used with the past participle, then the verb is said to be in the Passive Voice.
