  • ✨ Explanation ✨
    • The passive voice is used to show interest in the person or thing that is the object of an action, rather than the person or thing that performs the action. In other words, the most important person or thing becomes the subject of the sentence.

    • ✨ Example ✨
    In active voice: The dog chased the cat.
    The central part of this sentence is the verb, "chased". The subject, that is, the one who performs the action, is "the dog". And finally the direct complement, which is affected, is "the cat".
    In passive voice: The cat was chased by the dog.
    "The cat" has become the subject of the action "be chased".
