3. Active Form
In active sentences, the thing doing the action is the subject of the sentence and
the thing receiving the action is the object. Most sentences are active.
The teacher teaches the passive voice.

Passive Form
In passive sentences, the thing receiving the action is the subject of the sentence
and the thing doing the action is optionally included near the end of the sentence. You
can use the passive form if you think that the thing receiving the action is more
important or should be emphasized.
[Thing receiving action] + [be] + [past participle of verb] + [by] + [thing doing
action]
The passive voice is taught by the teacher.
