 Active and passive voice

The active voice and the passive voice are two different ways of
expressing the same situation, focusing it from different perspectives.
The active voice focuses on the person responsible of the action. On
the other hand, in the passive voice, more importance is given to the
action, and not to the person who made it.

The passive voice is formed with the verb "to be" and the past
participle of the verb.

Subject + auxiliary verb "to be" + past participle

Example:

 Jhon built the house - active voice

 The house was built by Jhon - passive voice

When we want to talk about the person doing the action in the
passive voice, we will need the preposition "by" in front of the passive
subject. Example:

 We were questioned by the police.

 The letter will be written by the manager.
 Conjuctions

Conjunctions are used to link words and sentences together.

There are two types of conjunctions and three forms of conjunctions.

The most common conjunctions are "and," "but" and "or".

Ex.:
He works at a bank and goes to university-

Types of Conjunctions
1. Coordinating conjunctions: its used when we want to link two
sentences that have the same value.

and, but, however, or, so, then, therefore. yet ...

Example:
She likes to sing and dance

2. Subordinating conjunctions: Its used when one of the sentences

depends on the other.

although, as, after, before,

if, since, so that, until, when ...
Example:
They went to the beach although it was raining
Forms
There are three forms of conjunctions.

1. Simple: one word

2. Composite: more than one word and usually followed by "as" or
"that"
3. Correlative: they surround an adjective or an adverb, such as "if ...
then".
