Active vs passive voice:
In writing, using an active voice will help your writing stand out. This means taking OUT the helping verbs.
Passive – I have been watching TV all night long
Active – I watched TV all night
Passive – The bus had been chased by the dog
Active – The dog chased the bus
Passive – The boy was hoping to be able to ask the girl to prom
Active – The boy wanted to ask the girl to prom
Passive – Do you think, if it’s not too much of a problem, that you might consider, assuming it’s not too inconvenient, whether or not you may or may not want to spend the next few decades of your life entwined with mine in a combined effort at raising a family?
Active?
