Passive Voice

Introduction

Do you know about passive voice? And when do we use the passive voice?

Passive voice is a relationship between the subject and the verb where the subject receives the action of the verb. Passive voice is used when the person or thing affected by the main verb is the focus. Passive voice is also often used when the person or thing performing the verb is considered unimportant, unknown, or unclear.
