How the Passive Voice Gets You into Trouble https://www.ragan.com/how-the-passive-voice-gets-you-into-trouble/ Passive voice vs. active voice Think about a passive person. They just sit there and things happen to them. A gift is given to them. A show is watched by them. They do not act; life acts upon them. Now think of an active person. They do things! They give gifts. They write books. They are the subject and the hero of their own story. That’s the difference between active and passive voice writing in a nutshell. ... Passive voice just uses more words. When you’re writing social copy, a speech or something for a digital signage board, every word counts. Why waste them on words as boring as “to be”? You’re not Hamlet.
