Verb application difference

What's the technical term for differentiating between active and passive verb application. an example would be "I Do" as opposed to "I allowed to be done" or "I teach" rather than "I facilitate learning"

There is no term for the sorts of examples you cite. Active and passive are within the category of "voice", if that's what you're asking. CJ

Hi,

It's not a technical term, but perhaps you should look up the verb 'obfuscate'.
