Active Passive Voice
             Active voice describes a sentence where the subject performs the action stated by the verb.  In passive voice sentences, the subject is acted upon by the verb..

Active Form

        In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb.

  

[Thing doing action] + [verb] + [thing receiving action]

Because the subject does or "acts upon" the verb in such sentences, the sentences are said to be in the active Form.

Passive Form

               In passive sentences, the thing receiving the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing doing the action is optionally included near the end of the sentence. You can use the passive form if you think that the thing receiving the action is more important or should be emphasized. You can also use the passive form if you do not know who is doing the action or if you do not want to mention who is doing the action.

[Thing receiving action] + [be] + [past participle of verb] + [by] + [thing doing action]
