What is the difference between the active and passive voice?

What the focus of the sentence is

If you want to emphasise what happened, or do not know who did something, you can use the passive voice

Past Participle

The past participle is a verb form 

Primarily used for creating perfect tenses and the passive voice.

 It often ends in -ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n, depending on the verb.

Walk - Walked

Active Voice

The subject of the sentence performs the action described by the verb. The focus is on who does the action. This voice is clearer and more direct.

Active Voice

Structure: Subject + Verb + Object + Extra info

Example:

The Teacher sent the student out of the classroom

In this sentence, the teacher does the action.

Passive Voice

In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence receives the action rather than performing it. The focus is often on the action itself, rather than who is doing it.

Passive Voice

Structure: Object + Form of "to be" + Past Participle + extra info + (by Subject)

Example:

"The student was sent out of the classroom by the teacher."

Here, the emphasis is on the student, who is receiving the action.

Tenses - Present Simple

Active Voice:

Subject + Verb + Object

I do the laundry 

Passive Voice:

Object + Form of "to be" + Past Participle + (by Subject)

Tenses - Past Simple

Active Voice:

Passive Voice:

Object + Form of "to be" + Past Participle + (by Subject)

Subject + Verb + ing + Object

They are building a new school

Passive Voice:

Object + Form of "to be" + Past Participle + ing + (by Subject)

A new school is being built (by them)

Tenses - Past Continuous

Active Voice:

Subject + Verb + ing + Object

They were designing a piece of art

Passive Voice:

Object + Form of "to be" + being + Past Participle + (by Subject)

A piece of art was being designed (by them)

Tenses - Present Perfect

Active Voice:

Subject + Form of "to have" + Verb + Object

We have ended the war

Passive Voice:

Object + Form of "to have" + been + Past Participle + (by Subject)

The war has been ended (by us)
