I am confused escpecially in this topic, Passive and Active voices. What are they?
  

Top answer

In a sentence we call active voice, the subject does the action. The dog bit the man. To convert that sentence to the passive voice, we make the direct object (man) of the original to the place of the subject and vice versa: The man was bitten by the dog.

— Philip

  • In a sentence we call active voice, the subject does the action.
  • The dog bit the man.
  • To convert that sentence to the passive voice, we make the direct object (man) of the original to the place of the subject and vice versa: The man was bitten by the dog.
  • The process is to use the proper tense of be plus the past participle of the main verb.
  • That girl wore the red dress.
