Grammar Post

A little bit of everything... yup thats what i need help with so I found this website that was actually pretty helpful it just has a few tips for what commonly people mess up on. I know i struggle with grammar in general but here is one rule of the many for active/passive verbs.


In sentences written in active voice, the subject performs the action expressed in the verb; the subject acts.
In sentences written in passive voice, the subject receives the action expressed in the verb; the subject is acted upon. The agent performing the action may appear in a "by the . . ." phrase or may be omitted.
