The verb is said to be in the active voice when the subject of the verb is performing the action of the verb (e.g., &#8220;The dog bit the milkman.&#8221;). The verb is said to be in the passive voice when the subject of the verb is being acted upon (e.g., &#8220;The milkman was bitten.&#8221;). So, a verb&#8217;s voice indicates whether the subject is acting or being acted upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing\/person doing the action is the subject of the sentence in active voice sentences, and the thing\/person receiving the action is the object. The thing\/person receiving the action is the subject of the sentence in passive voice sentences, and the thing\/person doing the action is optionally included near the end of the sentence as the object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rules:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The subject and object are interchanged.<\/li><li>Preposition &#8216;by&#8217; is added before the object.<\/li><li>The verb is changed to the past participle (3rd form of the verb).<\/li><li>A new auxiliary is added to the past participle form of the verb.<\/li><li>If the subject or object in an active voice sentence is a pronoun (I, we, you, he, she,<\/li><li>they, it), it changes to I &#8211; me; we &#8211; us; you -you; he &#8211; him; she &#8211; her; they-them; it &#8211; it, and viceversa.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Active<\/strong>: Subject + verb + object<br><em>Eg.
