Explain the role of active and passive voice in day - to - day life and prepare sentences as per the rules.
● Role of active and passive :-
Active and passive voice play an important role in our day-to-day communication. Active voice focuses on the person who performs an action and makes sentences clear, direct, and natural.
Passive voice focuses on the action or the person/thing receiving the action and is often used when the doer is unknown, unimportant, or when the action is more important. It is commonly found in notices, news reports, formal writing, and official communication. Thus, both voices help us express ideas clearly and appropriately according to the situation.
