The Active Voice

In the active voice, the subject (or agent) performs or causes an action.  In the passive voice, the object of an action appears in the sentence before the action. Compare ‘The committee discussed the project plan’ (active) and ‘The project plan was discussed by the committee’ (passive). ‘The committee’ is the subject or agent, ‘discussed’ is the action or verb, and ‘the project plan’ is the object of that action.
