Hard writing makes easy reading. An old adage. Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in a few words. Apocrypha. People think I can teach them style. What stuff it all is! Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret of style.

Passive voice is a grammatical voice common in many languages. In a clause with passive voice, the grammatical subject expresses the theme or patient of the main verb â that is, the person or thing that undergoes the action or has its state changed. This contrasts with active voice, in which the subject has the agent role. For example, in the passive sentence The tree was pulled down, the subject (the tree) denotes the patient rather than the agent of the action.
