When is it acceptable to use passive voice in your writing?

English
1 answer:
Mkey [24]3 years ago
5 0

The <u>passive voice</u> is formed by the verb <em>to be</em> into whatever tense needed and the past participle of the main verb. Whether to use the passive voice or not is a matter of style. However, some of the most frequent uses of the passive voice are:

  • to report actions whose author is unknown
  • to explain something within a scientific context
  • to emphasize the action or its object instead of the doer of the action.

Thanks and 5 stars if you answer this question.

Answer:

Joey most likely told Jessica and Felicia a scary story about the cabin.

Explanation:

The context clues " mostly the kind you didn’t want to hear because they’d keep you up all night, worrying they’d make their way into your dreams” and "her eyes widening with excitement and concern" show that this is unnerving and a story that keeps you up all night is most likely a scary one.
