Active and Passive Voice

Active Voice के वाक्यों में Subject जो कि क्रिया {Verb/Action} को करता है, उसका स्थान Verb {क्रिया} से पहले आता है और जिस Object पर उस क्रिया {Verb/Action} का प्रभाव पडता है, वो Verb {क्रिया} के बाद आता है। यानि, सबसे पहले क्रिया को करने वाला Subject, उसके बाद क्रिया और उसके बाद आखिर में Object. {Subject + Verb {Action} + Object}
The subject performs the action and comes before the action; whereas, the Object receives the action and comes after the action.

Passive Voice के वाक्यों में ठीक इसका उल्टा होता है यानि सबसे पहले Object, उसके बाद क्रिया और फिर क्रिया को करने वाला Subject. जो Active Voice का Subject होता है, वो Passive Voice में सबसे आखिर में आता है, जबकि जो Active Voice का Object होता है, वो Passive Voice में सबसे पहले आता है। एक महत्वपूर्ण बात और कि Passive Voice के वाक्यों में हमेशा Verb की 3rd form का प्रयोग किया जाता है।
Passive Voice Structure: Exactly opposite to Active voice structure.
