Active voice sentence

Passive voice sentence

In the passive voice, the focus is more on the action or the object that receives the action rather than the subject performing the action
Passive voice is often used when the focus should be on the receiver of the action, when the performer of the action is unknown, or when it's not important to mention who performed the action
