can you again define active passive voice different from that you have explained?

The voice of a verb represents the relationship between the action being described by it on the one hand and the subject and the object on the other.

Active Voice

Subject (doer of the action) + Verb (action) + Object (receiver of the action)

If the subject is the doer of the action (i.e., the subject is active), then the verb is in the active voice. This voice is used when the doer of the action is to be emphasised.

For example:

Pankaj found the treasure.

Here, ‘Pankaj’ is the subject, while ‘the treasure’ is the object. The doer of the action (‘to find’) is the subject. Hence, the verb is used in the active voice.

Passive Voice

Subject (receiver of the action) + Verb (action) + Object (doer of the action)

If the subject is the receiver of the action (i.e., the subject is passive), then the verb is in the passive voice. In other words, the object in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice. This voice is used when the receiver of the action is to be emphasised.

For example:

The treasure was found by Pankaj.

Here, ‘the treasure’ is the subject, while ‘Pankaj’ is the object. The receiver of the action (‘to find’) is the subject. Hence, the verb is used in the passive voice.
