What is the "passive voice"?
The passive voice is a grammatical construction in which the subject of a sentence receives the action of the verb rather than performing it. In this structure, the focus is on the action itself or the recipient of the action, rather than the doer. The passive voice is typically formed by using a form of the verb "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb. For example, in the sentence "The book was read by the teacher," "the book" is the subject that receives the action, while "the teacher" is mentioned later in the sentence. The passive voice is useful for emphasizing the action or the recipient, especially when the doer is unknown or less important in the context.
Example
Passive voice is often used when the doer of the action is unknown or unimportant.
When you use passive voice, the object of the action becomes the subject of the sentence.
Passive voice can sometimes make sentences sound more formal or impersonal.
