Verb

Verb
The Active Voice represents the subject as acting upon an object.
Example : -- The cat caught the mouse
In this sentence the subject " cat " does something to the object " mouse, " so the verb " caught ' is in the active voice.

The Passive voice represents the subject as being acted upon.
Example : -- The mouse was caught by the cat.
Here the subject " mouse " was the thing acted upon, so the verb " was caught ' is in the passive voice.
