active verbs
Active verbs form more efficient and more powerful sentences than passive verbs. Readers are more likely to say a sentence with active verbs is clear and persuasive.
- The subject of an active sentence performs the action
of the verb: "I throw the ball."
- The subject of a passive sentence is still the main character of the sentence, but something else performs the action: "The ball is thrown by me."
