How to use active and passive voice

Active and passive voice is referring  to the subject of the sentences.
Remember a subject is a word or group of  words in a sentence that moves
to an action, or an action move towards.

This is called doers and receivers.
To tell if it's Active or passive voice
Please pay close attention to the subject of the sentence.

*  If the subject of the sentence  does/do  the action it's  active .
*  If the subject of the sentence receives the action  it's passive.

This is easy as 123:

Look at these active voice examples below:
John kicks the ball.
The goat ate my pear.
We love football game.

Look at these passive voice examples below:
The ball had been kick by John.
My pear was eaten by the goat.
Football game is what we love.

Nb. It's very great to use active voice for your sentence, because it display a stronger emotion.
