In the passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb.

There are two types of voices in grammar- the active and the passive voice. And through these two, we can know the relationship of the subject(s) and the object(s).

--

  • In an active voice, the subject acts the verb.
  • This means that the subject comes before the verb.
  • For example, He saw a snake. [S+V+O]
  • But in a passive voice, the subject receives the action.
  • In other words, it means that the subject is acted upon by the verb, or is at the receiving end of the verb's actions.
  • For example, the snake was seen by him. [O+V+S]

--

This means that even though they still show the relationship between the subject and the object, the way they are presented differs. Thus, in a passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb.

Answer:

unknown

Explanation:

There's no options here to choose from, but a passive voice would sound something like: "A civilian was hit by driver on the street."

The receiver of the action at the beginning of the sentence, action done in the middle, and doer of action at the end.

Why is the following quote important in A Tale of Two Cities and how does it contribute to the story as a whole?
Shkiper50 [21]
It sets the scene of pre-revolutionary France and demonstrates dickens’ sympathy toward the people of France at this time. The quote is important because it still shows the humanity of the peasants before it is ripped away from them by the hatred and violence brought on by the revolution.
