How to Identify Active & Passive Voice
Use these points to identify the voice of a sentence.
1. Active Voice
In Active Voice, the subject performs the action.
Structure: Subject + Verb + Object
Example: Rita cleans the room.
- Subject: Rita : Verb: cleans : Object: the room
Here Rita is doing the action, so it is Active Voice.
2. Passive Voice
In Passive Voice, the action is done to the subject.
Structure: Object + Helping Verb + V3 (Past Participle) + by + Subject
Example: The room is cleaned by Rita.
- Subject: The room : Helping verb: is : V3: cleaned : Agent: Rita
Here the room receives the action, so it is Passive Voice.
Important Note
- If the subject does the work → Active Voice
- If the work is done to the subject → Passive Voice
