Question

active or passive voice
active voice

• the subject is the doer of the action

passive voice

• the action is being done to the subject

ask yourself:

• who is the sentence about?
• where is the verb in the sentence?
• did the subject do or receive the action?

which of the following is written in active voice?
we had been left with no choice.
the food had been burned.
my husband cooked dinner.

Explanation:

To determine active voice, we check if the subject performs the action.

• For "We had been left with no choice", "we" receive the action of being left (passive).
• For "The food had been burned", "food" receives the action of being burned (passive).
• For "My husband cooked dinner", "my husband" is the doer of the action "cooked", so it's active.

Answer:

My husband cooked dinner.
