active voice is when a sentence's subject is performing the action of a verb.

<em>here is an example of a sentence using active voice:</em>

<u>Phil filmed the video.</u>

  • in this sentence, phil is the subject.
  • phil, the subject, is the one performing the action of filming the video.

on the other hand, passive voice is when a sentence's subject receives the action of the verb being performed.

<em>here is an example of a sentence using passive voice:</em>

<u>The video was filmed by Phil.</u>

  • in this sentence, the video is the subject.
  • the video, which is the subject, is being filmed <em>by phil</em>.

some things to keep in mind:

  • <u>when using passive voice, the action is being performed by the subject.</u> this is why <em>the video was filmed by phil</em> in the second sentence (passive voice) as opposed to phil having filmed the video in the first sentence (active voice).
  • whereas when using active voice, the subject is performing the action. this is why <em>phil filmed the video</em> in the first sentence as opposed to the video having been filmed by phil in the second sentence.

i hope this helps & makes sense! i tried my best to explain but sometimes it's difficult lol but please comment with any other questions you may have and i can try to elaborate further!! :) have a lovely rest of your day <3
