What is active voice?

  • Active voice is the structure in which the subject is the performer of the action. In that sense, it opposes passive voice, which emphasizes the receiver of the action.
  • Compare:

Active: I cut the tree. --> subject performs the action of cutting.

Passive: The tree was cut by me. --> subject receives the action of cutting.

How to change passive into active voice?

  1. Locate the subject. In the active voice, it becomes the object of the verb.
  2. Locate the agent (it comes after "by"). In the active voice, it becomes the subject.
  3. Maintain the verb tense, but remove the auxiliary "be" that was added in the passive voice.
  • Example:

Passive: Talks have been conducted by the administration.

Active: The administration has conducted talks.
