Eli5 How does passive/active voice work???
In: 483
If you can add “by zombies” to the end of the sentence and it works grammatically then you’ve got the passive tense.
“the car was stolen [by zombies]” = makes sense grammatically therefore passive tense
“someone stole the car [by zombies]” = doesn’t make sense grammatically so active tense.
Obviously it doesn’t have to be zombies, it’s just what I was taught!
