Voice in English
Voice in English In English grammar, the concept of "voice" refers to the relationship between the subject and the action (or verb) in a sentence. There are two primary voices in English: active voice and passive voice. Active Voice : In active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action expressed by the verb. Example: "The dog (subject) chased (action) the cat." Here, the subject "the dog" is performing the action of chasing. Passive Voice : In passive voice, the subject of the sentence is acted upon by the verb. The focus is on the action rather than the doer. Example: "The cat (subject) was chased (action) by the dog." In this sentence, the subject "the cat" is receiving the action of being chased by "the dog," which is emphasized in the sentence. Key differences between active and passive voice: Active Voice : Direct and straightforward. The subject is the doer of the action. Passive Voice : Indirect and often
