Active And Passive Voice Quizzes & Trivia

The passive voice is used to show interest in the person or object that experiences an action rather than the person or object that performs the action. In other words, the most important thing or person becomes the subject of the sentence. Take the test below to gauge how conversant you are with these types of sentences.
