Active
Voice
• In the active voice, the
subject performs the action
(i.e the subject is the doer of
an action).
• E.g. Jerry knocked over the
lamp.

the first sentence making followed
Jerry the subject and the by another verb in its
second making the lamp past participle form
the subject. (e.g., "I have been given
an opportunity").
Where do we use the Passive
Voice?
Passive voice often gets criticized as a weak and
evasive form of expression. But it is useful for
those instances when you want to emphasize
the fact of an action having taken place rather
than who performed the action. It is also helpful
for instances when the doer of an action (also
known as the agent) is unknown.

The differences between active and passive


voice come up as a subject for discussion in
criticism of news coverage. When news media
reports on incidents of crime, for example, they
will often use headlines that
feature the passive voice: “Man (Is) Attacked on
Elm Street” instead of “Person Attacks Man on
Elm Street.”
