How can I improve my use of active voice in writing?

To improve your use of active voice, focus on making the subject of your sentence perform the action. Can you provide an example?

Sure! I wrote, 'The book was read by me.'

You can change that to 'I read the book.' This way, the subject 'I' is performing the action directly.

That makes sense! Are there any tips for identifying passive voice?

Yes! Look for forms of 'to be' (like is, are, was) followed by a past participle. If you find them, consider revising.

Thanks! I'll practice that. Any resources you recommend?
