www.plainlanguage.gov › use-active-voiceActive voice makes it clear who is supposed to do what. It eliminates ambiguity about responsibilities. Not “It must be done,” but “You must do it.”. Passive voice obscures who is responsible for what and is one of the biggest problems with government writing. Don’t confuse passive voice with past tense.
Active Voice - Grammar Monster
www.grammar-monster.com › glossary › active_voiceActive voice is the term for a verb whose subject performs the action of the verb. For example: John painted the fence. (In this example, "painted" is in the active voice because the subject of "painted" ("John") is performing the action, i.e., did the painting. So, this is an example of an active sentence with a verb in the active voice.)
