Active voice enhances clarity and directness, engaging readers with a dynamic focus on the action’s doer. Passive voice, is useful for formality and shifting emphasis, especially when the doer is deemphasized or unknown, and it aids in avoiding direct blame. The effective use of both <\/strong>active and passive voices<\/strong> allows writers to tailor their communication for optimal impact and effectiveness. This blog article will help the students of class 6 to learn about the new concept of voice based on their learning of subject, verb, and object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is Subject, Verb, And Object?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These three things form the main part of the sentence around which the sentence is structured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subject:  Who?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The subject is the doer of the action or the one being described in the sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: The cat <\/strong>sat on the windowsill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verb:     What action?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The verb is the action or state of being expressed in the sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: The cat sat <\/strong>on the windowsill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Object:  Where?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The object is the receiver of the action or the one being affected by the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: The cat sat on the windowsill.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Voice?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a sentence, voice refers to the person performing the action. Let’s say Samantha is a superhero with the ability to fly. Samantha is the one performing the action in this active voice sentence\u2014she is the one taking flight. However, Samantha isn’t the one flying in a passive-person sentence; either she is being helped by someone else or the flying is happening to her. The primary distinction is that the subject (Samantha) is the one carrying out the action in the active voice, whereas the subject is receiving the action in the passive voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are Active and Passive Voices?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Active Voice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the subject in the sentence acts, the verb is said to be in active voice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Example <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sita is drinking water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

( Here Sita is the subject and drinking is the verb. Sita is the doer of the action here so the verb is in active voice.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passive voice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the subject in the sentence receives the action instead of performing it, the verb is said to be in a passive voice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water is being drunk by Sita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Here Sita is receiving the action of Drinking Water therefore we can say that the verb is in passive voice.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the example mentioned above, the word ‘attacked’ is the action and ‘my sister’ is the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas, in the next sentence, ‘my sister’ is the subject and ‘was attacked’ is the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
