Voice of Verbs

action. If a person or thing denoted by the subject is the doer of the action, the verb is said to be in the active
voice. If the person of thing denoted by the subject is the receiver of the action, the verb is in the passive voice.

verbs are changed from the active to passive voice.
Active Voice

Passive Voice
