Passive voice is a grammatical structure in which the object of an action becomes the grammatical subject of a sentence, while the doer of the action is often relegated to the end of the sentence or omitted altogether.
It places emphasis on the receiver of an action rather than the doer.
Passive voice is used for various purposes, such as shifting focus, creating formality, or concealing the doer’s identity.
For example, “The book was written by the author” is in passive voice, emphasizing the book’s creation rather than the author’s action.
