Voice refers to the form of a verb that indicates when a grammatical
subject performs the action or is the receiver of the action.
When a sentence is written in the active voice, the subject performs
the action; in the passive voice, the subject receives the action.
In academic writing, it is generally preferred to choose an active verb
and pair it with a subject that names the person or thing doing or
performing the action. Active verbs are stronger and usually more
emphatic than forms of the verb “be” or verbs in the passive voice.

*Active And Passive Voice

Active Voice: The award-winning chef prepares each meal with loving care.
Passive Voice: Each meal is prepared with loving care by the award-winning
chef.
In the above example of an active sentence, the simple subject is “chef”
and “prepares” is the verb: the chef prepares “each meal with loving
care.” In the passive sentence, “meal” is the simple subject and “is
prepared” is the verb: each meal is prepared “by the award-winning chef.”
In effect, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject in the
passive sentence. Although both sentences have the same basic
components, their structure makes them different from each other.
Active sentences are about what people (or things) do, while passive
sentences are about what happens to people (or things).

The passive voice is formed by using a form of
the auxiliary verb “be” (be, am, is, are,
was,were, being, been) followed by the past
participle of the main verb.
Active Passive

He loves me. I am loved by him

We took our children to the circus. Our children were taken to the circus
by us.

A thief stole my money. My money was stolen by thief.

*Rules of Active and
Passive Voice
*Rule 1: Interchange of Subject
and Object
* While changing from the Active Voice to Passive Voice, the
Subject is made the Object, and the Object becomes the
Subject in the Passive Voice. Also, ‘By’ is used before the
subject when it is made the object in the Passive Form.
Sometimes ‘By’ is kept understood or implied also.
* For Example.
Active: Ram loves Shyam.
Passive: Shyam is loved by Ram
* While Interchanging the Subject and Object in the Passive Voice, the
Articles, Adjectives and Adjectives Phrases connected with each
other are also carried over with them. They are not separated from
the Subject or the Object.

For Example
Active: All the children heard an interesting story.
Passive: An interesting story was heard by all the children.

*Rule 2
When the pronouns are transferred from the place of Object in the Active
Voice to the place of Subject of Passive Voice, their forms are changed.
For Example
(i). I in place of me.
(ii). We in place of Us.
(iii). He in place of him.
(iv). She in place of her.
(v). They in place of them

Note: No change is made in the change of You or It or any Noun.

For Example

*Rule 3
Passive: They are hated by Mohan.
When the pronouns are transferred from the place of subject in the
Active Voice to the place of Object in the Passive Voice, Their forms are
