Active Voice versus Passive Voices
In an active voice, the subject acts upon the verb. However, in a passive
voice, the subject receives the action of the verb. When the passive voice is
used properly, it is correct. However, when it is not used in moderation, it
becomes weak and incorrect.
Examples of Active Voice:
Monkeys love bananas.
The dog tossed the bone away.
Examples of Passive Voice:
Bananas are loved by monkeys.


The bone was tossed away by the dog.
Wrong usages of Active and Passive Voices
Below are some examples of the incorrect usage of active and passive voices
and how to remedy them:
Don’t use the passive voice when you should take responsibility for your
actions.
Incorrect: 
An error occurred on your account, but several attempts were
made to remedy it.
Correct:
We made an error on your account, but we have made every
attempt to remedy it.
