There are two types of voice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Active Voice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Passive Voice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Active Voice&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an active voice sentence, the subject performs the action of the verb. This structure makes the sentence clear, direct, and concise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Formula for Active Voice:<\/strong>  <em>Subject + Verb + Object<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples of Active Voice<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The teacher (subject) explained (verb) the lesson (object).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sachin (subject) hit (verb) the ball (object).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In these sentences, the subject performs the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Passive Voice&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a passive voice sentence, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject, and the focus is on the action rather than the doer. The verb is always in the past participle (V3) form and is accompanied by a form of &#8220;be&#8221; (is, am, are, was, were, been, being).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Formula for Passive Voice: <\/strong><em>Object + Helping Verb (be) + Past Participle (V3) + By + Subject<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples of passive Voice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The lesson (object) was explained (verb) by the teacher (subject).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ball (object) was hit (verb) by Sachin (subject).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, the focus shifts from the subject to the object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/blog\/tenses-rule\/\"><strong>Tenses Rules:
