Grammar
Active and Passive voice are two different ways to structure a sentence. In Active Voice, the person or thing doing the action comes first. This person or thing is called the Subject. For example, in the sentence 'Rahul kicked the ball,' Rahul is the subject. He is doing the action of kicking. The ball is the Object because it receives the action. Active voice is direct and very clear. Most people use active voice in daily conversation because it is easy to understand.
