A writer wants to use an active voice when t<span>he subject of the sentence performs the action expressed in the verb. like for the sentence:
</span><span>The boy hugged the dog.
</span>the bold words show the subject performing the action (the dog) and the individual being acted upon (the boy). This is an example of a sentence using the active voice.
