Passive and active voice

1. Passive

   • What is the passive voice?
     • It is simply and summarized to be a grammatical structure that is used when you do not want to emphasize who or what performs the action, but emphasize who or what receives it.
       • I mean it's a way of communicating and transmitting some idea that we have
         • How is it built?
           • Passive prayer is constructed using the verb to be in the corresponding verbal time and the main verb in past participle; that is, either by adding the particle –ed to the verb if it is regular
             • Or...
               • looking at the past participle in the list of irregular verbs if the verb is irregular
                 • the way is
                   • Subject + verb to be + main verb in past participle
                     • suppose that active prayer is
                       • They clean the classroom at afternoon
                         • The passive voice would be
                           • The classroom are cleaned at night.
                             • Some uses
                               • When it is not necessary to mention who performs the action because it is obvious
                               • whwn we don't know who's doing the action, or it's not important to mention it.
                               • When action is given importance and not who performs it.
                             • Some examples
                               • A letter is written
                               • The novel was read

2. Active

   • we say that a phrase is active when the subject of the sentence performs the action to which the verb refers
     • Like
       • Carlos reads the newspaper
         • In this example, Carlos, the subject of our prayer, is reading, which is the action indicated by read, the verb of prayer. then we can say that this prayer is in an active voice.
           • Structure
             • Subject- verb
               • Examples
                 • We are going to watch a movie tonight.
                 • Bard changed the flat tire
