Grammar help please?

Hi there,

Would you please teach me this concept as it is important to me.

Bathroom floors always slope to one side VS Bathroom floors are always sloped to one side.

(Do you feel “Bathroom floors are always sloped to one side” it means, it was done by human or purposely? Or no different than “Bathroom floors always slope to one side”

The table slopes to one side VS The table is slopped to one side.

(Do you feel “The table is clopped to one side.” it means, it was an accident or flawed? Or no different than “The table slopes to one side”

Thanks in advance

Mate, what you are talking about is active and passive form of simple present tense. Some sentences make sense when used in passive voice only. For example the case you mentioned above Statement 1 - Bathroom floors always slope to one side.

  • (passive voice of simple present) Statement 2 is better as bathroom floors are made purposely by human beings.
