in English, voice refers to the choice of either an active verb group or a passive verb group. In the active voice, the subject is the person or thing that does or is responsible for the action of the verb. In the passive voice, the subject is the person or thing that is affected by the action of the verb. For example in the sentence 'The kids have learned the importance of a healthier diet', the verb group 'have learned' is active. In the sentence 'Lessons will be learned from this disaster', the verb group 'will be learned' is passive.
