    Active voice
    ➔ The subject act upon its verb.
    ➔ The subject performs the action denoted by the verb.
    ➔ The agent is always shown here.
    ➔ People generally tend to use active voice.
    ➔ Examples:
    ● My mother will cook dinner tonight.
    ● She wrote the letter to me.
    ● Sheena is going to do her homework.

    Passive voice
    ➔ A subject is a recipient of a verbs action.
    ➔ The object of a corresponding active sentence becomes a
    subject.
    ➔ Agent is usually not mentioned here.
    ➔ Example:
    ● My homework was done.
    ● The food will be cooked tonight.
    ● Her homework is going to be done.
