Active Voice & Passive Voice:

“Voice means that form of a verb which denotes whether the subject of a sentence does something or whether something is done to the subject.”

1) A verb is in the “Active voice” when its form shows that the person or thing denoted by it does something or is the doer of the active.

2) A verb is in the “passive voice” when its form shows that something is done to the person or thing denoted by the subject.

While changing any sentence from active voice to passive voice, we have to follow 6 rules:
