Voice refers to the form of a verb that indicates when a grammatical subject performs the action or is the receiver of the action. When a sentence is written in the active voice, the subject performs the action; in the passive voice, the subject receives the action. In academic writing, it is generally preferred to choose an active verb and pair it with a subject that names the person or thing doing or performing the action.

Notice how the “be” auxiliaries change the meaning of the verbs from action to condition or from “doing” to “being.” He remembers his grandmother. (“he” is doing an action: remembering) His grandmother is remembered. (“she” is in a condition: being remembered) In this way, the past participle functions very much like an adjective; it describes the subject. The woman is pretty. She is a pretty woman The woman is married. She is a married woman.
