Step-by-step explanation:

Active voice: To classify sentences, grammarians utilize a concept called "active voice," which describes situations in which the subject of the sentence is the one carrying out the verb's action. Passive voice is compared to active voice.

Passive voice: A conjugated form of to be and the past participle of the verb form the basis of every example of the passive voice in the English language. As a byproduct, a preposition is often created when you do this. In reality, identifying passive voice is lot simpler than it sounds.
