The Voices of the Verb
Voice refers to the form of a verb that indicates when a grammatical subjects 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 receive 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 verb are stronger and
usually more emphatic than forms of the verb.
ACTIVE VOICE
The subject/ doer is performing the action.
The object receives the action of the verb.
Examples:
1. The puppeteer manipulated the stings.
2. Dead leaves gathered in the garden.
PASSIVE VOICE
The subject/ doer receives the action of the verb
The object becomes the subject.
Examples:
1. This house was built by my father.
2. A letter was being written by him.
Other examples:
A The chef cooks food every day.
P Food is cooked (by the chef) every day
