    Study Notes

    Passive Voice

    • Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action's recipient rather than the performer.
    • An example of passive voice is "The ball was thrown by John", where the focus is on the ball (the recipient) rather than John (the performer).
    • Using passive voice can make a sentence seem less direct or less clear, as it can hide the identity of the person or entity performing the action.
    • It can also make the sentence seem more formal or objective, as it emphasizes the action's effect rather than the doer.
