    Active sentences focus on the subject performing the action, while passive sentences focus on the object receiving the action. The passive voice is used when the subject performing the action is unknown or unimportant, or when we want to emphasize the recipient of the action rather than who performed it. Passive voice is also used when the subject is obvious from context or when the subject has already been stated.
