    What is Active Voice?

     When the subject of the sentence performs the action expressed by the verb then it is Active Voice.
     For Example: “Nisha ate the apple”. What is Passive Voice?
     When the subject of the sentence receives the action expressed by the verb or is acted upon then it
    is Passive Voice.
     For Example: “The apple was eaten by Nisha.”
    “Active voice defines that the subject is doing the action and the passive voice refers to that the subject
    is being acted upon.”
