The document discusses active and passive voice in English grammar. It explains that in the active voice, the subject performs the action, while in the passive voice the subject is acted upon. The passive is formed using a form of the verb "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb. The passive voice is more common in formal written English and is often used when the performer of the action is unknown or unimportant. Examples are provided to illustrate active and passive transformations.
