The passive voice




The passive voice is especially helpful (and even regarded as mandatory) in scientific or technical writing or lab reports, where the actor is not really important but the process or principle being described is of ultimate importance.



Active voice sentence: I eat food.
Passive voice sentence: Food is eaten by me.
In the above sentence I is the subject, eat is the verb and food is the object.
