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

English

klio [65]3 years ago

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.

How does Wiesel begin his speech?
Yakvenalex [24]

Wiesel declines to enable himself to overlook the Holocaust in light of the fact that, as one of the survivors, he did accept part of detachment. It's his obligation to witness, since he is a "delegate of the dead among the living,". Wiesel's work provoked one commentator to review Isaac Bashevis Singer's meaning of the Jews as "people who can't let themselves rest and let no one else rest,"
