Which sentence is in the active voice?

English
1 answer:
tangare [24]2 years ago
3 0

Answer: Our old toaster always burns the toast on one side.

Explanation:

In active voice, we place focus on the agent that performs the action. The last sentence - Our old toaster always burns the toast on one side, is thus the only sentence in the active voice. <em>'Burns' </em>is a present simple tense from the verb 'to burn'.

All the other sentences are written in passive voice, as the focus is put on the object/person that receives the action. Passive voice construction consists of <em>verb to be</em> and <em>past participle</em> (as in <em>was negotiated, was colonized, </em>and <em>was quoted</em>).
