> Passive voice produces a sentence in which the subject receives an action. In contrast, active voice produces a sentence in which the subject performs an action.
Setting aside whether the passive or active voice is better, I'm delighted by this description of what each is.
Looking at the example, I can only see that the active voice variations have:
- The action after the subject
- The action closer to the subject than the passive voice variation
- The subject earlier in the sentence than the passive voice variation
Can a sentence specifically be active or passive voice, or are active and passive on opposite ends of a spectrum where one sentence is said to be more active or more passive than another sentence?
