Active and Passive Voice in Writing

The choice between using the active or passive voice in writing is a matter of style, not correctness. However, most handbooks recommend using active voice, which they describe as more natural, direct, lively, and succinct. The passive voice is considered wordy and weak (except when used in cases above).

Examine the following examples:

• passive: The skater was slammed into the wall by Maria.

active: Maria slammed the skater into the wall.

• passive: The book was enjoyed by me because the events of her childhood were described so well by the author.

active: I enjoyed the book because the author described the events of her childhood so well.
