Voice is the aspect of a verb that suggests whether the subject performs an action is

ACTIVE VOICE: This is when the subject performs the action described by the
verb. It is used when the action flows from subject to the object.
(Explanation: Assuming Paul performed a particular action which is expressed by a
verb; it therefore, means that Paul will be regarded as the doer or performer of the
action. In English grammar, Paul will be
referred to as the subject and the verb in that sentence will be in the active voice.
For example, Paul
wrote a letter. Here, “wrote” is in the active voice since the subject of the verb
(Paul) is doing the writing.So, a verb is said to be in the active voice.)
Examples: a)I saw Paul.
b)We are eating some mangoes
c)The driver was driving the car carelessly.
d)Bola sang the song melodiously.
e)Ade has killed a goat.
