Passive or Active? Many businesses encourage their staff to use active sentences. They consider passive sentences to be long winded, less direct and less flowing. For this reason, the Microsoft Word grammar checker often suggests an active version of a passive sentence. For example:
The hook-shaped shoreline was eroded by time.
(passive sentence)
Time eroded the hook-shaped shoreline.
active sentence)
If you prefer the passive version, stick with it. Here are some good reasons to use a passive sentence:
When you don’t want to reveal who was responsible:
The document had been released into the public domain.
Bad advice was given.
A serious failing in standing operating procedures had occurred.
When the doer of the action is general, unknown or obvious:
Pistachio nuts are grown in Iran.
His parade uniform was stolen.
English and German are spoken in many Cornish campsites.
The windows must be secured.
Divorces are made in heaven. (Oscar Wilde)
To put something you want to emphasize at the start of your sentence:
An estimated 258,000 people were injured in alcohol-related crashes.
To use the same subject twice (e.g. once in an active clause and once in a passive one):
Martin crashed into the barrier and was tossed in the crowd.
