Active and Passive Verbs

Active verbs form more efficient and more powerful sentences than passive verbs. This document will teach you why and how to prefer active verbs.

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."
