VOICE

VOICEIs the form of the verb that shows whether or not the subject is performing the action. Only transitive verbs can indicate voice. There are two voices: active and passive

1.The verb is active when its subject performs the action.

2. A verb is passive when its action is performed upon the subject. A passive verb almost never has a direct object and is always a verb phrase made from a form of be plus the past participle of a transitive verb.Example:The war veteran was awarded the Medal of Honor by the President.He was also given a cash prize.
