You can tell that something is in passive or active voice by the organization of a sentence. You’ll notice that mostly every sentence in passive voice contains the word “by,” for example.
You can tell that it’s in passive voice because the subject is being acted upon by the verb. When something is in active voice, the subject does the action stated by the verb. Hope this helps!
