Passive Voice

Ms. Angélica Pacheco Sept 14th

Passive Voice We use passive voice when we want to focus on the action instead of who did it. Example: Someone stole my bike. In this case, the focus is on the bike being stolen, not who did it. Sometimes, passive voice sounds nicer than active voice: Example: A mistake happened. This way, we're pointing out the mistake without blaming anyone.
