How do I know if a sentence is in the active or passive voice?

English

Answer:

Remember: If the subject is performing the action, then the sentence is in active voice. If the subject is simply receiving the action, then the sentence is in passive voice. Shift the object of the action into the beginning of the sentence.  

Example:

You did not pay your bill.

(for example)
Active - The dog chased the ball.
Passive - The ball was chased by the dog.

in a passive sentence the subject is acted upon by the verb, whereas an active sentence is when the subject acts upon a verb.
Active is more common than passive.

What are your thoughts about the world's largest mass extinction and how it may have led to the rise of dinosaurs? Explain.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explanation:

More than 99 percent of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth are extinct. As new species evolve to fit ever changing ecological niches, older species fade away. But the rate of extinction is far from constant. At least a handful of times in the last 500 million years, 75 to more than 90 percent of all species on Earth have disappeared in a geological blink of an eye in catastrophes we call mass extinctions.

Though mass extinctions are deadly events, they open up the planet for new forms of life to emerge. The most studied mass extinction, which marked the boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods about 66 million years ago, killed off the nonavian dinosaurs and made room for mammals and birds to rapidly diversify and evolve.
