How to Use (and Eliminate!) Passive Voice

[@cwfcwfcwf]

This is my number one nemesis. When I file a page into "Grammarly" at least a third of my sentences are marked "passive voice." It's enough to drive you mad. You are the only one who as actually described the taboo. I think you would make an excellent professor. lol :)

I learned this valuable principle too late during my senior year in high school. However, I took this into college and became a strong writer and communicator in every class and role I took. I wish I had learned this early in my Freshman year in high school, I would have been better at writing and speaking.

[@stadler72]

Good explanation. The reason I think there's so much passive voice is that active voice requires more knowledge and commitment. Probably why lots of politicians use passive voice. :)

Very good and informative video on a difficult subject. Its helpful to see there is room for passive voice in writing.

[@PookieSanchezify]

Thank you for this quick refresh!

I actually like the passive voice, or to put it in a better way, the passive voice is something I enjoy using. While I admit there are problems with using it there are a host of problems with using the active voice as well and one of them is that people can sound very pretentious. I old enough to have been around in the 80 and people could discuss things everything from movies to politics and not get into a heated discussion. Putting everything in the active voice now if I didn't like the movie, or disagree with a political view, suddenly it seems like I am attacking you personally which is not my intention. Also, if you wish to and nuance to a conversation then consider using the passive voice.

[@cameracameras]

Fantastic advice. Thank you.

[@dibyendupal9817]

I like your clarifications. Thanks a lot.

[@icyr0bin-794]

currently watching ur videos and taking notes, ty so much for ur guides! my only complaint is that you tend to talk kinda fast and i have to keep rewinding but that’s probably a me thing and not your fault at all

[@LivigiXP]

if it helps, you can chance the playback speed of the video, although that might make her voice sound really slow 😂

[@elwingasparovski427]

[@davy5537]

Great help for my passive income

[@michaelscott5323]

Good video.

[@eddiebrockington4885]

So is passive voice a way write about a unknown action?

[@Reedsy]

If you don't know the subject of the action yes, you can use passive voice.

[@PoetlaureateNFDL]

Are there any great writers who were experts at passive voice??

[@didyouknowpodcast]

Very good. Thank you.

[@PoetlaureateNFDL]

So more active voice is the goal?

[@inkwyvern5171]

Only bother writing in the active voice during a rewrite. It's really easy to fix, but just another distraction in the moment.

[@nikapoopoorocks6266]

only 2 thousand views so does that mean i got a shot 😂

[@welingtonnunez5533]

Informative, though, I suggest slowing down. You managed the concept, but others not as much. So, speaking fast makes it difficult to grasp the information.

[@mygills3050]

subjects are conjugated, and agents act the verb. Any linguist will tell you this.
