What is the difference between active and passive voice?

An active voice sentence has a subject that carries out the action of the verb, while a passive voice sentence has a subject that receives the action of the verb.

An active voice sentence describes the actions of the subject of a verb, while passive voice describes the indirect or direct object.

An active voice sentence uses present and past tense forms of verbs without the use of helpers, while a passive voice sentence uses either auxiliary or linking verbs as part of a verb phrase.

An active voice sentence has a subject that receives the action of the verb, while a passive voice sentence has a subject that carries out the action of the verb.

The active voice asserts that the person or thing represented by the grammatical subject performs the action represented by the verb.

The passive voice makes the subject the person or thing acted on or affected by the action represented by the verb.
