Verb: Voice
Active and Passive voice
Voice is a grammatical term that is used to tell whether the subject is acting or receiving the action expressed by verb.

• Ahmad jumped over the obstacle.
• Zakir played the guitar.
• Javed sang 10 songs.

A verb is in the passive voice when the subject does not perform the action; in the words, the subject is Passive.

• The house painted by Ali.

The Active voice is the better form to use. Never use the passive voice either in speaking or writing when the active voice more natural or direct.

Passive voice: The play was written by Shakespeare.
The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.
Active voice: Shakespeare wrote the play.
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.

Passive voice can be use when what was done is more important than the doer of action.
