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.

masha68 [24]

Answer:

1. Settle on a central theme. The best dystopian writing explores a central theme while building out a dystopian world.

2. Consider the world around you. Dystopian works are effective and thought-provoking because they reflect elements of our own society.

3. Build a complex and detailed world.

What analogy shows a part-to whole relationship
DochEvi [55]
An analogy describes the relationship between words. In part/whole analogies, the first term is part of the second term, and the third term is part of the fourth. As an example, sand is to beach as water is to ocean.
