Active voice > Passive voice

“This sentence uses the active voice.”

• Clear
• Direct
• Punchy

“This passive voice is used to write this sentence.”

• Ambiguous
• Indirect
• Wordy

For those trying to work it out:

• Active voice - The subject of the sentence is doing something

• Passive voice - Something is being done to the
subject of the sentence
