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.
