What is Passive Voice?
A passive construction occurs when you make the object of an action into the subject of a sentence. Passive voice is a passive sentence that does not show action, but accepts an action. In active sentences, the subject always indicates what he is doing. For example, "mother buys milk". Whereas in passive sentences, the subject accepts the action. For example "milk bought by mother".
