5. In a sentence written in active voice, the subject
performs the action; it does something.
In a sentence written in passive voice, the subject
receives the action; something is done to it.
Readers prefer the active voice in most sentences
because they normally expect the subject to be
performing the action, so a sentence where the
subject doesn’t perform the action takes longer
to understand. The active voice is also less
wordy than the passive voice.
