Passive Voice Although the passive voice is not any less correct than the active voice, it is less direct, less forceful, and less concise. Passive voice requires more words to express a thought. A sentence written in passive voice sounds weak.

Active Voice Active voice uses strong verbs It also has the subject of the sentence doing the action. Whereas in passive voice, the action is done on the subject. Or the subject is not involved at all.

Examples Passive Voice: The ball was hit over the outfield fence by Jody. Active Voice: Jody hit the ball over the outfield fence.

More Examples Passive Voice: The totals for the new budget were carefully checked. Active Voice: The club treasurer carefully checked the totals for the new budget.

More Examples Passive Voice: A salmon was caught by the brown bear. Active Voice: The brown bear caught a salmon. Passive voice: The song will be sung by the choir. Active: The choir sang the song.
