Active and Passive Voice:
A sentence is said to be in Active Voice when the subject does something. Similarly, a sentence is said to be in Passive Voice when something is done to the subject.
Active Voice : Ram killed Ravan.
Passive Voice : Ravan was killed by Ram.
In the above sentence Ram is the subject and Ravan is the object. In the active voice sentence Ram i.e., the subject has killed the object Ravan. In the second sentence Ravan is the subject but he allowed himself to be killed by subject Ram. Here the subject is Passive. Therefore, it is called Passive voice.
Here it must be noted that:
I becomes me in Passive voice.
We becomes us
You remains you
He becomes him
She becomes her
It remains it
They becomes them.
