USING THE PASSIVE VOICE



The passive voice gets a bad rap, but it’s not actually a grammatical error. The
key is knowing when the passive voice is appropriate for what you're writing—it
can be a stylistic choice, for example. While it isn’t an error, it can
sometimes make your writing sound wordy and indirect. In some cases, writers may
even try to use it to avoid accountability. That’s what’s going on in sentences
like "Mistakes were made." Find out when and where to use the passive voice and
how to turn it into the active voice when needed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS






HOW DOES GRAMMARLY’S PASSIVE VOICE CHECKER WORK?

Grammarly’s algorithms analyze your writing in real time to detect the passive
voice and help you replace it with the active voice.



WHERE CAN I USE GRAMMARLY’S PASSIVE VOICE CHECKER?

Grammarly’s passive voice checker works in your browser and across all of your
favorite desktop apps.



WHAT IS THE PASSIVE VOICE?

Voice is an aspect of grammar that has to do with the relationship between
subjects and verbs. In passive voice sentences, the grammatical subject is not
the person or thing performing the action of the sentence.



HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY USE OF ACTIVE VS. PASSIVE VOICE?

The passive voice isn’t wrong, but it's not always appropriate. It’s pretty
common to use the passive voice in scientific writing or in situations where you
don't know who performed a certain action, as in "My bike was stolen." But in
most other cases, sticking to the active voice is more direct and produces more
concise writing.
