Active voice – подлежащее само совершает действия.

Passive voice - Пассивный залог (страдательный)

подлежащее испытывает действие на себе

When do I use passive voice?

3. You want to be vague about who is responsible (vague - неопределен, неясный, отсутсвующий)
4. You are talking about a general truth (truth - правда, истена)
