English

Answer:

Passive voice produces a sentence in which the subject receives an action. To change a sentence from passive to active voice, determine who or what performs the action, and use that person or thing as the subject of the sentence.

an example of passive voice:

Twenty civilians were killed in the bomb explosion.

wanna know about active?

The active voice describes a sentence where the subject performs the action stated by the verb. It follows a clear subject + verb + object construct that's easy to read. In fact, sentences constructed in the active voice add impact to your writing. With passive voice, the subject is acted upon by the verb.

an example of passive voice:

Active: Someone killed twenty civilians in the bomb explosion.

now look at both these sentences together:

Passive: Twenty civilians were killed in the bomb explosion.

Active: Someone killed twenty civilians in the bomb explosion.

do you see the difference? : )

i hope you understand what is passive voice and i hope it helps

telo118 [61]
The reason why this man approaches Othello's home is that he was about to accuse him in stealing Barbantio's daughter. This conflict was set up because of Iago which can describe his character as a two faced liar that (even though he is such a liar) he reveals his sward in order to help Othello in this fight.
