Every sentence consists of a subject (who or what is doing something), an action (what is being done), and sometimes an object (the recipient of the action). This guide delves into the fundamentals of sentence structure, distinguishing between active and passive voice. Active voice features strong, direct expressions where the subject performs the action (e.g., "Tina sent her reply"), while passive voice indicates the action is being done to the subject (e.g., "The reply was sent by Tina"). Learn to identify the components in varied examples and reinforce your grammar skills.
