Active or Passive?

Most of the sentences in English are active sentences.

And if you think about it, they tend to be much more simple than passive sentences.

Have a look at these sentence and see for yourself:

We ate lunch / The lunch was eaten.

I have written a book / A book was written.

They will buy a yacht / A yacht will be bought.

Which version is more simple and common?

However, in some cases, it can be useful to use the passive voice.

For example, when you want to tell about an action, but you don't want to mention who does it:

"Joe broke the window."

(It is clear who did it.)

"The window was broken."

(Here you only describe the action, without mentioning who actually did it.)

Another use of the passive voice is when you want to emphasize the object and not the subject:

"Charles sold the company."

(Here the emphasis is on Charles doing the action.)

"The company was sold."

(Here the emphasis is on the fact that the company was sold.)
