Understanding Active and Passive Voice 

In active voice, the subjects perform the action, or emphasis is laid on the doer in the sentence.

For example: Sita sang a song.

Here in this sentence, Sita does the action of singing.

For example:

A song is sung by Sita.

Here in this sentence, the song (subject ) is being acted upon.

S      V          O

 Sita sang a song

 S           V            O

A song is sung by Sita.
