Active vs Passive Voice: Enhancing Your Writing Clarity

Have you ever noticed how some parts of your writing work really well, while other parts aren’t so great? You can improve those dull sentences if you consider how you structure them.

There are two voices in writing: active and passive. In the active voice, the subject of a sentence acts, like ‘Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.’ The active voice is direct, clear, and easy to read.

With the passive voice, the subject is acted upon, like ‘The moon was walked on by Neil Armstrong.’ Although the passive voice is still grammatically correct, it typically doesn’t carry the same energy or clarity as the active voice.

Figuring out which voice to use can be tricky, but we’re here to show you the basics.

We hope you enjoy!
