Question

The audience was amazed by the performance. Revise the sentence to recast it in the active voice.

Answer 1

The performance amazed the audience.

Explanation

When conveying an idea, it is recommended to use active voice as it encompasses the right idea.

Also, active voice using sentences use fewer words than passive voice using sentences to express an idea so the sentences made are short and easy to understand.

While changing the sentences from passive voice to active voice, two factors have to be considered.

· Check for the word 'by' and the words that come after 'by' are the words that must be used to start an active voice.

· If the subject in the sentence is unknown, then it is a passive voice.
