The document discusses the passive voice. The passive voice indicates that the subject of the sentence is receiving the action rather than performing it. It focuses on the recipient of the action rather than the performer. In the passive voice, the person or thing acted upon comes first, followed by the main verb and an auxiliary verb, and then optionally the agent or performer of the action. The passive voice is commonly used for objective or repeated processes in industrial/scientific writing.
