When a sentence comes out to be clear and straightforward – it is a sentence in the active voice. Verb is a part of speech, an action word that has two voices – active and passive. The active voice has a direct and clear tone.
According to a previous post, the subject tends to be a noun or pronoun usually and the subject does the action.
