Change of Voice
Active to passive and vice versa
Change of Voice, also known as Active and Passive Voice transformation, is a fundamental grammar concept frequently tested in aptitude examinations. It involves converting sentences from the active form (where the subject performs the action) to the passive form (where the subject receives the action), while maintaining the original meaning and tense of the sentence.

Understanding Active Voice
In Active Voice, the grammatical subject of the sentence performs the action expressed by the verb. The structure follows: Subject (doer) + Verb + Object (receiver). Active voice creates direct, clear, and concise sentences. Example: 'The chef prepares the meal.' Here, 'the chef' (subject) is doing the action of preparing, and 'the meal' (object) receives the action.
