Verbs have two voice to use, one of them is active verb，the other one is passive verb. The subject is a person or something who lead to the action, the verb voice is active. The subject is the receiver of action, the verb voice is passive. Generally, we have better use the active verbs rather than passive verbs except we have a very good reason to use the passive verbs. The reason why we choose active voice is simpler, more direct and more effective.
e.g.
Active : He breaks a glass.
Passive: A glass is broken by him.
Passive sentence often use by to show people the actor. If we don't show people who is the actor, sometimes our sentence will be unclear. Another important thing is passive verbs show less strength than active verb because some verb(form of verb be) don't make any sense of action.

You are writing a lot about grammar and strategies you have learned so far, but be sure that you are making full-sentence examples in your own words with the correct grammar. You need to make more example sentences. 6/10
