Next Topic: Active vs. Passive Voice

What’s the Difference? Example: Alexandra delivered her presentation.
In active voice sentences the subject does the action. Example: Alexandra delivered her presentation. In passive voice sentences the subject receives the action. Example: The presentation was delivered by Alexandra.
Sometimes the doer of the action is omitted in passive voice sentences. Example: The presentation was delivered.
Usage of the active voice creates clearer writing.
