सरल बोली मे कहे, Active Voice मे subject खुद काम करता है ।
जैसे: वो खत लिखता है ।
इसका formula है:
Subject + Verb + Object

What is passive Voice?
Passive Voice मे subject पर focus कम और object को importance देते है |
इसका formula है:
Object + Helping Verb + V3(Past Participle) + by + Subject
Example:

- Ramayana (object) Passive Voice मे subject होता है।
- reads (simple present) Passive Voice मे ' is read' मे change होता है।
- Active Voice मे subject 'She' Passive Voice मे ' her ' होता है।
