The document discusses the differences between active and passive voice. Passive voice is used to focus on the recipient of the action rather than the doer by making the recipient the subject of the sentence. Active voice directly states who or what performs the action with the subject doing the main verb. Some examples are provided that show the house being cleaned in passive voice versus she cleaning the house in active voice.

2. Passive Voice is used to show interest in the person or object
that experiences an action rather than the person or object
that performs the action. In other words, the most important
thing or person becomes the subject of the sentence.
Active Voice or Direct Voice is used in a clause whose subject
expresses the agent of the main verb. That is, the subject
does the action designated by the verb. A sentence whose
agent is marked as grammatical subject is called an active
sentence.
