Active Voice: Clear, Concise Sentences
Most of you need to cut down on your word count in Section B, so try using active voice. How do you do this?
In a sentence written in the active voice, the subject of sentence performs the action. In a sentence written in the passive voice the subject receives the action.
Example:
Active: jhyer stared down the Communist official who waved the red flag.
Passive: The Communist official, who was waving a red flag, was stared down by jhyer.
