DEFINITION
OF ACTIVE VOICE
In grammar, an active voice is a type of a clause or sentence in which a subject
performs an action and expresses it through its representative verb. To simply
put it, when a subject performs an action directly, it is in active voice. It
then uses transitive verb to show the action.
The Pattern of Active Voice: Subject+
Verb 1+ Object

object. They are either active voice or passive
voice.

object.

their action to the subject. that means that the subject is
the subject receiver of the
action.

verb: is, am,
are,
was, were, be, being, or been as
