Settings
In the study of English grammar, we look at the terms “active voice” and “passive voice” as two different methods of phrasing a sentence. Passive voice tends to be a lot vaguer, describing an action that has been taken out without any notion of who did it – whereas active voice makes the subject of this action explicitly known to the reader.
