Definition of Voice
Voice refers to the form of a verb
that shows whether the subject of the sentence is doing
the action or receiving the action.
There are two types of voice:
1. Active Voice:
- In active
voice, the subject does the action.
- The focus is on
the doer of the action.
Structure:
Subject + Verb + Object
Example:
- Ram wrote a
letter.
→ ("Ram" is the subject doing the action)
2. Passive Voice:
- In passive
voice, the subject receives the action.
- The focus is on
the receiver of the action, not the doer.
Structure:
Object + form of "be" + past participle + (by + subject)
Example:
- A letter was
written by Ram.
→ ("A letter" is the subject receiving the action)
