    The document defines and provides examples of active and passive voice. Active voice uses the subject of the sentence performing the action, followed by the verb and then the direct object receiving the action. Passive voice places the direct object at the beginning of the sentence followed by a form of "to be" and the past participle of the main verb. Examples are given such as "They called me last night" in the active voice versus "I was called last night" in the passive voice. The use of "se" in Spanish often indicates a passive construction where no active voice subject is present, like "It's being done now."
