Active voice *does* things. “I broke the lamp” is active voice – I am the one who took the action, and the sentence is about me doing it.

Passive voice *has things done* to it. “The lamp got broken” is passive voice – I am the one who took the action, but the sentence is about the lamp that had action taken again it.
