The active voice is used to the action of the
verb in the subject.

The passive voice is used when we want to
give more importance to the action and not to
whom it her has realized or when we do not
know the one who has realized the action.
The paint is bought by the girl.

4. The passive voice
Active to passive transformation. Changes in the
sentence:
The object of the active sentence happens to be the
subject of the passive.
The principal verb is replaced by the auxiliary " to be ", in
the same time, close to the principal verb in participle.
The subject of the principal sentence happens to be an
agentival complement of the passive.
If we mention in the sentence of the subject that realizes
the action (fastened agent), this one will be normally
preceded by the preposition "by".
